Anyone knows of Caterpillar bikes?

[PanoIgano]

Hi everyone,

I stumbled across this bike (caterpillar P5000 Power Loader)
on the Radavist and was wondering if anyone knows actually made these bikes for Caterpillar?

There is nothing much I can find online about this specific model either.

Thanks in advance for any information!

I would assume it is a promotional bike connected to the company making the huge construction equipment or else a project someone did as homage

I Trek/Fisher/Klein had an unusual lh rear dropout that takes their rear disc brake adapter.
Why don't you have the front wheel and fork in the photo? It looks like something is going on there.

From what I can see of the front fork, it looks like a cargo bike with a smaller front wheel. My guess is that it is someones custom innovation/ restoration. VERY COOL, I'd own it!

No photo of the headtube badge either.

P5000 brings up a Cat front end loader.
I see a proper cable disc brake up front too.

Apparently made of Easton aluminum tubes:
