Caterpillar is pleased to offer a comprehensive line up
of underground room and pillar products that include
continuous miners, haulage, roof bolters, and utility
vehicles.
We manufacture these product lines in two locations;
Houston, Pennsylvania and Beresfield, Australia. Both
are Caterpillar facilities that adhere to the Cat Production
System, dedicated to providing our customers with
defect-free products of the highest quality.
We currently sell room and pillar products into appli-
cations that include coal extraction, gypsum, potash
and salt production. In some cases, we purpose build
the machine to work in these applications. For potash
and very hard coal, we offer a tough cut version of our
continuous miner, the CM445. For applications like
potash that shy away from water use for dust control
we offer oil cooled machines that limit water use. We
can offer products that are suitable for both extremely
low and tall seams.
For additional digital content for these products,
including videos, virtual product tours and animations,
