A Short History of Heavy Equipment

Benjamin Holt created the first steam engine tractor in 1890. John Froelich responded with the gas-powered tractor in 1892, and the two inventors paved the way for modern heavy equipment. Holt's track-type tractor design was a game changer. In fact, the metal track technology was soon used on new tanks when the United States entered World War I! Here’s a quick look at the development of modern heavy equipment. To learn more, visit us at Bobcat of Cape Cod in Bourne, Massachusetts serving Brockton and Wrentham, Massachusetts.

Early Innovations

In the 1920s, bucket wheel excavators and bulldozers began revolutionizing both agriculture and construction. After the Great Depression there was reduced demand for heavy equipment, and manufacturers sold parts and equipment overseas to survive.

After World War II

The United States experienced unprecedented growth after World War II, and suburban expansion led to plenty of demand for equipment. Heavy machines played an important role in the development of modern cities, and construction of the newly developing interstate highway system led to record-setting growth in the equipment industry.

Present Day

As the interstate highway system was finished, heavy equipment companies began developing specialized equipment for a variety of new tasks. Many companies have also merged to form larger companies better suited to meet future industry challenges, such as reducing carbon emissions.
