Small quantities (resin/synthetic resin) are already possible with ScaleMasters from 100 pieces (depending on model). Of course larger quantities (1500 pieces or more) are also possible. They can make these in resin, die-cast (metal) or a combination of both.
Good examples are the PoweredbyCat Crambo 5200, Terminator and Topturn X4500 that ScaleMasters produces EXCLUSIVELY for Komptech GMBH Austria.
Sheepsfoot
A sheepsfoot compactor is a piece of equipment that consists of a roller, or drum, that has raised pegs or pads on the surface.Rollers are also used in landfill compaction. Such compactors typically have padfoot or "sheep's-foot" drums, and do not achieve a smooth surface. The pads aid in compression, due to the smaller area contacting the ground.
Shiphold
Shiphold or abbreviated "SH" as an addition to the machine type stands for a Caterpillar Track-Type Tractor or Track Loader specially designed for shiphold bulk material handling. An optimal combination of traction, high reach and balance of the machine makes these Caterpillar Shiphold Track-Type Tractors or Track Loaders ideal for work in Shipholds and ports. With special equipment such as a Pin-on multi purpose bucket or Pin-on trim blade for all material they can scrape ship's walls and process all kinds of materials during the loading and unloading work in the ship's hold. The Heavy Duty Bumper gives outstanding protection for the rear of the machine and Lifting eyes located on the frame provide easy lifting of the machine in and out of the shiphold.

Striker Bar
On a Caterpillar Dozer, Striker Bars can optionally be mounted on the front and rear above the Tracks. The Striker bars prevent too much sand (and therefore dirt) remaining on the tracks and Undercarriage of the Dozer while driving, which prevents extra wear on the Undercarriage.
