Barber-Greene founded in 1916 by American mechanical engineers Harry H. Barber and William B. Greene, was a company formed to sell standardized material-handling machines to mechanize small manual tasks in an economical way. It is best known for its contributions to the asphalt field. Based in Preston, Lancashire they have been manufactured continuously in the UK since 1941.
Caterpillar acquired Barber-Greene in 1991. Another company based in England, named BGP-group, began marketing a line of machines in the U.K. These machines carried similar design cues and model identification to the old Barber Greene models and have since undergone several upgrades and BGP-group continues as an independent company.

BouwmachineWeb.com is the construction machinery portal for the Netherlands and Flanders. You will find interesting news, reports, impressions and other information on construction machinery and construction operations. The emphasis is mainly on (Caterpillar) Earthmoving, Demolition and Recycling machines and Construction and Heavy Haulage transport.
Started at the end of 2007 by a small group of enthusiasts who very modestly tried every working day to publish news and make reports of open days, events and trade fairs in the industry.
Many years later, a broad network has been built up, enabling BouwmachineWeb.com to provide its visitors with even better professional news. The emphasis is on Dutch-speaking visitors from the Netherlands and Flanders, but the statistics show that the website is also well visited far beyond these national borders.
The BouwmachineWeb.com team works in the industry and has a lot of technical knowledge in-house, so that when they look at (Caterpillar) machines, vehicles and related products it will be with a critical users view. The team itself also has the feeling to operate and/or control equipement, which rightly makes BouwmachineWeb.com unique.
