WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE PLUS LOW OWNING & OPERATING COSTS
The longer your undercarriage lasts, the lower your total cost of ownership. Because Cat® undercarriage is designed and manufactured by Caterpillar to specifically match your machine requirements, your Cat dealer can provide you with inspections and services that ensure every component lasts as long as possible before replacement.
Proper shoe selection and smart operation will make your undercarriage work better and last longer. Here are four ways to get the most from your Cat undercarriage investment.

If repair is not an effective option for your undercarriage, ask these questions to help decide which Cat undercarriage is the right fit for your work and your machine. Precisely defining these parameters will help lead you to the best choice for your needs.
For heavy equipment with tracks, getting dirty is a part of the job. But to protect the life of the undercarriage, regular cleaning and maintenance will go a long way to extended wear. Caterpillar recommends to power wash on a regular basis and always promptly remove any large rocks, mud or debris that get logged between the tracks. Many operators carry a shovel for just this purpose.
