Caterpillar was founded in 1925 with an innovative spirit aimed at helping our customers overcome challenges — and that’s at the heart of who we are and what we do today. We listen to your unique challenges and collaborate through every step of the mining process to deliver total solutions that are customized for your underground operation.   

That innovative spirit was on display in the Caterpillar booth at the AusIMM Underground Operators Conference 2025, held April 7-9 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in Adelaide, Australia. The record-breaking gathering brought together 1,800 people and 135 exhibitors.

A Cat^®  MineStar™ Command for underground Remote Operator Station at the center of the booth demonstrated the autonomous operation of Cat underground loaders. Show workers at the booth also focused on the innovative R2900 XE, our first diesel-electric underground loader.

We also showcased our beyond-the-iron solutions such as Cat Financial, Cat Job Site Solutions, Cat Customer Value Agreements and our underground aftermarket offerings, including Cat Ground Engaging Tools for underground loaders.
