Perhaps you would prefer so-called "Dividend Aristocrats" that have a long track-record of high dividends.

Not high dividends, but increasing dividends.

For example, Caterpillar is of them, but its yield is under 3%.

If you are a long term investor, dividend growth rate is an important metric when evaluating the aristocrats. At a 7.2% growth rate, your absolute payout will double in ten years regardless of the stock value appreciation. That may or may not be a good stategy for many inestors, but may be smarter than chasing yield.
