CAT® UNDERCARRIAGE

LOWER COST. LONGER LIFE.

 

Undercarriage typically represents an average 50% of a machine’s owning and operating costs, so it makes sense to invest in a system that will deliver the most value. Every Cat® undercarriage is designed by Caterpillar engineers and built to exacting specifications to match your machine and application — and deliver the lowest operating costs.

 

Outlasts Competitors

Because Caterpillar manufactures its own undercarriage, every component meets strict specifications and quality standards that no competitor can match. Durable, reliable components result in lower operating costs.
