Are you ready to take the Cat “Operator Challenge”?

The Operator Challenge is an international event run in conjunction with other Caterpillar dealers across Europe. Operators are invited to take part and to demonstrate their skills at the controls. This year according to Caterpillar, it’s a game changer. New Range, New Rules! For many this will be the first chance to get some “stick time” in Caterpillars new 20 tonne hydraulic excavators and Finning will use this event to officially showcase the range to the UK market. The 2018 Operator Challenge will grant customers the opportunity to get into the seat of and experience the most advanced machine yet; putting their skills to the test in the new Cat 320. There will be a total of eight events across the UK & Ireland kicking off in Ashford in Kent on 17th April. Finning is calling on Plant Operators to register for a chance to compete in this international competition. UK finalists will win a flight to the finals in Malaga in October 2018, with the crowned ‘Operator of the Year’ awarded with a stunning a trip for two to the USA. With the qualifying rounds taking place at regional Finning depots there will be plenty to see and do as the company will also be showcasing its range of Ready2Go compact machines and insight into Parts.Cat.Com. In addition, experts will be on hand to discuss “connectivity” in 2018, showcasing a range of technology and machine monitoring solutions that will enhance customer’s performance and productivity on site. Personally, I will be heading to the Llantrisant depot in Pontyclun for the second round on 19th April, so I hope to see some of you there.
