Nine operators remain to compete in the final round of Caterpillar’s Global Operator Challenge live-streamed on Cat.com, from CONEXPO, the week after next, in Las Vegas. They rose out of a field of 5,500 original contestants.

After narrowing down the contestants to just 5,500 participants in the first round hosted by Cat dealers around the world, 84 semifinalists advanced to regional competitions held at Caterpillar sites in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. 

Competitions have included digging trenches to targeted depths, hitting target material loads, and hauling or maneuvering the equipment through a variety of obstacles.

To make the finals even more interesting, the three challenges and the machines involved will not be revealed to the finalists until just two days before the event.

Further, Jaus Neigum, the 2020 World Champion, helped design one of the challenges for this year’s finals, and he has assured us it will test every operator’s skills.
