Real Life Machine
Caterpillar developed the DW20 as a powerful rubber-tired tractor intended to work with drawn scrapers and other heavy earthmoving equipment. These machines were part of the transition toward large, high-capacity mechanized grading and excavation after World War II. Rubber tires allowed higher travel speeds than many crawler tractors, making the tractor-and-scraper combination useful for moving soil over considerable distances. DW20 tractors helped contractors build highways, dams, and other major infrastructure projects.
