The 988B RTCH Rough Terrain Container Handler is used for handling standard 20 ft and 40 ft ISO containers with a maximum weight of up to 22.6 t. This container handler is used by supply, ammunition and transportation units. Production of the RTCH commenced in 1981 and ceased in 1985. A total of 320 rough terrain container handlers were delivered to the US Army.

Basically the 988B RTCH it is a modified commercial Caterpillar 988B Wheel Loader without lifting arms and bucket, mated with a Caterpillar model AH60 (60,000 lb. Capacity) forklift mast. Later production models were based on the Caterpillar 988F Wheel Loader. The 988B RTCH Rough Terrain Container Handler can stack and unstack containers two high. There was a variant of this container handler, fitted a low-mount fork assembly. It could lift half-height containers. The vehicle is operated by a single operator. This machine carries no armament as it is intended to operate in supply units and is designed to operate over rough terrain and in water up to 1.5 m deep. This allows the vehicle to operate at beaches.

Specification highlights:

• Engine: Caterpillar 3408 Turbocharged diesel engine
• Power: 393.0 hp
• Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight: 116.844 lb
• Lifting capacity: 26.2 tonnes
• Maximum road speed forward: 24.8 mph
• Gradient: 30%

DJB Engineering Ltd was founded in 1973 in Peterlee, County Durham in England by David John Bowes Brown.

The Firm built its first Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) a model D250 in 1974, based on a Caterpillar drive train. The trucks were marketed exclusively through Caterpillar dealers world wide as the major components were all Caterpillar.

The range was expanded and sales grew steadily with Caterpillar buying the rights to the design & branding them as Caterpillar DJB in 1985 and eventually buying the company out in 1995.

Thales Australia has developed a civilian fire fighting variant of the Bushmaster called the FireKing: the world’s first purposely designed and built bushfire fighting vehicle that rapidly and safely delivers trained and well equipped resources to bushfire areas in a wide variety of environments and conditions.

The FireKing is powered by a Caterpillar 3126E six cylinder turbo intercooled diesel developing power 300hp and offers unprecedented levels of crew and vehicle protection, while operating efficiently from a proven driveline and platform that will provide extended service life and reduced whole-of-life costs.

Specification highlights:

• Powered by: Caterpillar 3126E Engine
• Net Power: 330 hp
• Water capacity: Main 3.000L + reserve 700L
• Main pump type: Waterous CPK-2. Max flow 2,400 L/min @ 700 kPa (528 gpm @ 100 psi)
• Fuel capacity: 200L (diesel) with anti explosion material in-tank
• Range: 500 km (approx)
• Chassis/body construction: Purpose-built steel monocoque body incorporating chassis and fully enclosed underbody with integrated insulation in key areas.

The Israeli Armored D9—nicknamed "DOOBI" (Hebrew: ????‎, for teddy bear)— is a Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer that was modified by the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli Military Industries and Israel Aerospace Industries to increase the survivability of the bulldozer in hostile environments and enable it to withstand heavy attacks, thus making it suitable for military combat engineering use.

The DOOBI D9R in IDF service, has a 410 Hp and drawbar pull of 71.6 metric tons (about 716 kN). The DOOBI D9 has a crew of two: operator and commander. It is operated by the TZAMA (In Hebrew: ??"?‎ = ???? ???? ?????, mechanical engineering equipment) units of the Combat Engineering Corps.

The main IDF modification is the installation of an Israeli-made vehicle armor kit which provides armor protection to the mechanical systems and to the operator cabin. The operator and commander are protected inside an armored cabin ("the cockpit"), with bulletproof glass windows to protect against bombs, machine guns, and sniper fire. The IDF also developed and installed slat armor add-on to deflect rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) rounds. The fitted armor package adds roughly 15 additional tons to the production-line weight of the DOOBI D9R. The modified Caterpillar D9R bulldozers can be fitted with disparate features, such as crew-operated machine guns, smoke projectors, or grenade launchers. The Israeli armor and durable construction of the DOOBI D9R makes it impervious to landmines, IED and large belly charges.

The IDF uses the DOOBI D9R for a wide variety of combat engineering tasks, such as earthworks, digging moats, mounting sand barriers, building fortifications, rescuing stuck, overturned or damaged armored fighting vehicles, clearing land mines, detonating IEDs and explosives, handling booby traps, clearing terrain obstacles and opening routes to armored fighting vehicles and infantry, as well as structures demolition, including under fire.
