Caterpillar is also a pretty well known brand of construction equipment. I could imagine the tools of the future could be named after all sorts of animals.
There could even be some funny environmental storytelling there, administrators could call things by formal names, workers who grew up on earth could call them by similar animals, workers who grew up on the space-station might have become familiar with the equipment before knowing about the animals, so their associations might be backwards.
But it all like it’d have to be done intentionally, generating these associations procedurally seems like a total mess.
