While that is convenient, anything over 50 lbs. can be tough and sometimes risky to lift without the right tools. To avoid injuries and make sure these heavier items are handled properly, we are updating our policy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beginning February 1, parts that weigh more than 50 lbs. will no longer be delivered to drop boxes. Instead, you will pick them up at your nearest Ziegler branch. It is a quick stop, and our teams will have the equipment needed to move heavier items safely. There are a handful of drop box locations that already have proper lifting tools. Those spots will remain exceptions, and your parts team can let you know if your usual drop box is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As we roll out this update, we appreciate your understanding and partnership. While it may alter how a portion of deliveries are handled, the result is a safer, more reliable process that keeps people protected and heavy parts handled the right way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions or need assistance with pickup, <strong>please contact your local Ziegler branch<\/strong>.

This machine was designed to honor Caterpillar\u2019s century of innovation while showcasing advanced technology for today\u2019s job sites. Ziegler CAT was proud to deliver this commemorative dozer and join the celebration.\r\n\r\nSeveral Ziegler CAT representatives attended the event, including President William M. Hoeft. The highlight of the day came when Veit surprised its owner, Vaugh Veit, with the machine. Being there for that moment added a special touch to an already memorable occasion.\r\n\r\n<strong>What Makes the D6 XE Unique?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe CAT D6 XE is the industry\u2019s first high-drive electric drive dozer, offering up to 35% better fuel efficiency compared to traditional models. This improvement means lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact without sacrificing power or productivity. For contractors, these benefits translate into smarter operations and long-term value.\r\n\r\nIn addition to fuel savings, the D6 XE includes advanced grade control options and improved maneuverability, making it well-suited for complex earthmoving and grading projects. It is a machine built for precision, reliability, and sustainability.\r\n\r\n<strong>A Milestone Worth Noting<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe 100th Anniversary edition features a distinctive battleship gray finish and commemorative logo, paying tribute to Caterpillar\u2019s legacy while highlighting modern engineering. While this model is limited, the technology behind it reflects the future of construction equipment where performance and sustainability go hand in hand.\r\n\r\n<strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSoon, this special-edition D6 XE will be hard at work on Veit\u2019s projects, delivering the power and precision that today\u2019s job sites demand. For the industry, this machine serves as a reminder of how innovation continues to shape the way we build.\r\n\r\n<strong>Learn More!<\/strong>\r\n\r\nInterested in what makes the CAT D6 XE unique?
