Cat® machine owners are given a number of benefits when seeking to undertake a Cat Certified Rebuild.
Whenever a major machine upgrade is required, Cat® machine owners have the choice to replace, rebuild or repair.
There are many factors that influence this decision, including cashflow and the expected lifespan of the machine, but many operators in the mining industry choose one of the cost-effective rebuild options offered by Cat dealers.
Advances in technology are also important, with so many new technologies available that support productivity gains and reduce operating costs.
As a business grows, its fleet must evolve with it and navigating the challenges of machinery management requires making the best use of existing machines, while also planning for future operations.
A machine or component rebuild offered by Cat dealers gives the peace of mind of a quality solution with a lower capital outlay.
Plus, owners don’t have to buy a new machine to benefit from new technology and other improvements.
Rebuilding is an opportunity to add engineering upgrades and other advances that will help a fleet run smarter and smoother.
In other words, operators enjoy many of the benefits of a new machine at a much lower cost.
The decision to rebuild also means avoiding the issue of training staff on completely new equipment, making it easier to get up and running and keep productivity on track.
Even better, rebuilding can free up capital for other investments.
Cat dealers offer a broad range of rebuild solutions, including Cat Certified Powertrain, Cat Machine Component and Cat Full Machine Rebuilds.
All three solutions are available for a wide range of machines, including 336 excavators, 777 dump trucks, 988 wheel loaders, dozers and motor graders.
