Designed With Protection in Mind
Job safety is a key concern for everyone. For pipeline construction however, local and regional regulations play a major role in the selection of equipment and this can vary by region. Add to this that many owning companies have their own requirements for equipment used on their jobsite. With this in mind, Cat pipelayers are designed with safety features that protect your pipeline crew in and around the machine regardless of where it is used around the world.
