2022 EUROPE REGIONAL RESULTS

More than 1,000 machine operators were tested by their local dealers throughout Europe between March and September 2022. This led to the best 19 operators arriving at our Demonstration and Learning Center (MDLC) in Malaga, Spain the week of October 3 ready for the challenge.

Amongst them, more than 280 years of industry experience and 15 countries were represented. With more than thirty supporters present, the 19 operators faced off on four skills-based tests on the following equipment:

  • 326 Medium Excavator with Cat Grade technology
  • 982 XE Medium Wheel Loader with Cat Payload technology
  • MH3022 - Material Handler
  • 432 - Backhoe Loader
