Managing Director, Mr Ng Pock Yin delivering his opening speech. A section of our attentive guests In his opening address, Mr Ng Pock Yin, Managing Director of Tractors Singapore Limited (TSL), thanked esteemed customers for their valued patronage and trust in brand Cat and TSL’s services. He emphasized TSL’s steadfast devotion to always putting customers first and Caterpillar’s commitment to continuous research and development of their products to ensure end-users have the best to make the most of their investments whilst improving their productivity/profitability. Target: Earth – Asia – Singapore. Hurtling like a bolt of fire and moving faster than the speed of light, our special UFO takes off for destination Equinox and makes a spectacular landing immediately after Mr Ng's speech. It uncouples itself to reveal the “series D2” hydraulic excavators and the C series 730 articulated dump truck. The diners gave a resounding approval at TSL's attempt at leveraging the technology platform to showcase a selection of new Caterpillar machines! Celebrated emcees, Lee Pei Fen and Liu Ling Ling then used the iPad to showcase the key features and benefits of each new machine. The new Cat “D2” series hydraulic excavators were introduced as a direct replacement of the “D” series, offering: • • • • • Improved Performance - industry-leading cycle times and digging forces Improved Fuel Efficiency - Power Management Systems which match output to job requirements Greater Versatility – Wide variety of Cat couplers, buckets and work tools Operator Comfort – Cabin and monitor design provide superior operator comfort and improved productivity Equipment Management Solutions – Cat AccuGrade Control and Product Link The new Cat 314E LCR series hydraulic excavator makes an ideal choice for customers seeking a powerful, fuelefficient, compact, easy-to-transport machine with the capability of taking on many common utility applications. The engine complies with Tier 4 interim standards. Its compact design makes the 314E LCR ideal for busy construction sites and projects in a space-constrained environment. The cab of the machine is also designed to meet the latest Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) standard, ensuring operator's safety. The 730C articulated dump truck introduces a new generation of performance and ease of operation. It is aimed particularly at the productivity customer - where tonnes/hour and tonnes/litre of fuel burned are key drivers to business success. With this in mind, both driving and retarding power have been substantially increased, thus significantly reducing cycle times compared to the previous model. The multi-talented emcees, Lee Pei Fen and Liu Ling Ling kept the guests entertained throughout the night.
