On September 24, 2015, Caterpillar’s Building Construction Products (BCP) Division Desford facility kicked off the celebration of 30 years of backhoe loader production at the facility with a two-day anniversary event. Customers, dealers and employees from around the globe gathered at the Leicester facility to mark this milestone occasion.

BCP Desford began production of the backhoe loader in September 1985 and sold its first 416 machine to a customer in New Jersey, USA. Since then, the facility has gone on to produce a total of seven series of backhoe loaders over the past 30 years. This year will also see the facility produce its 300,000th backhoe loader machine.

Today, Cat Backhoe Loaders command a global footprint, with 11 models manufactured across three plants - Desford, UK; Thiruvallur, India; and Campo Largo, Brazil - supported by a Cat dealer network of approximately 180 worldwide dealerships.

As part of the 30th anniversary celebration, Caterpillar unveiled two customized units: a 420F2 IT center-pivot and a 432F2 side-shift. Built in Desford, these two machines were presented in anniversary colors and are fitted with a premium Cat branded leather seat, leather steering wheel, LED lighting and anniversary decals.
