Touring Australia's Biggest Caterpillar Dealer!

During our recent visit to Australia, Westrac Caterpillar was kind enough to host us at their ENORMOUS Tomago branch outside Newcastle, New South Wales.

I've visited many Cat dealer facilities across four continents, but this one might take the cake regarding all-around capabilities.

We checked out their parts operation, rebuild center (centre), shop, and build pads, which were LOADED with massive gear.

We had a fantastic day, so I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed our visit!

Thanks for visiting our NSW head office at Tomago. It was a pleasure having you and the BuildWitt team - apologies for the double evacuation. Safety first, right? ^CG

It was a pleasure giving you the run down of rebuilds. Thanks for visiting !

Great video, Aaron. Thanks for taking us along with you. You are number one with explaining the company and what they are about. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!!

Not every day you see a Cat dealer normally stock mining equipment like that 24 motor grader in the yard. But I got to say, Australia has really cool ways of doing things including how they mine. Westrac is probably one of the biggest Caterpillar dealers in the world if I'm not mistaken. Thank you for showing this Aaron.

The scale of that Caterpillar dealership is mind-blowing. Thanks for giving us an inside look at how these massive machines are maintained and sold. Truly fascinating! 💪

I work at one of the dealerships in the US. Very cool to see how another dealership does things!! Definitely have a lot of questions of some of the processes they use compared to the way we do it. Thanks for the video!

AMAZING!! Great vid Aaron. I'm floored by the parts robots, great innovation by Westrac. You guys bring the best info!! THANKS 👍👍

This has been fun to watch. I work in building SS in Peoria. I see tours all the time coming through. It's cool to see an Australian dealer.

[davidanalyst]

those robots were incredible. I have seen those little overhead crate moving robots in amazon and like food delivery services, but I never thought they would be great for gaskets, screws, and other small stuff for equipment. Thats incredible.

oh beautiful job guys thank you Lower Carrajung Victoria

[simmoshomeworkshop]

Nice! Did my apprenticeship through WesTrac, and still with them years later today, excellent opportunity for young Aussies to get a trade, experience on Cat equipment, and a good start in the industry.

[peejay]

I've driven past there a few times before, great to see inside it!

[BKetch]

They take their Fire Drills pretty serious there. Where I work unless we smell fire we just keep working. Then when the fire turcks show up we think maybe we should leave the building.

[johnnymurff]

Awesome video awesome, your taking every day people who will never be there and showing them. That's got to be a of oool operation. Looking at those huge machines is fun. All the way from Florida

[ptminiaturasportugal]
