To get started with a CVA for your mining equipment, get in touch with your Cat® dealer. Together, you can customize the plan that best suits your needs. There are five different kinds of CVAs to choose from:

  • Maintenance for Mining, Hoses and Couplings and ground engaging tools (GET) and Bucket CVAs make sure you always have essential maintenance and wear items on hand. 

  • Powertrain Guarantee and Undercarriage CVAs help control owning and operating costs for major machine components.

Each of these CVAs focuses on targeted benefits. They can be further refined with a range of options for your operation. Your Cat dealer will help you with the specifics.  

No matter the CVA, there are four common benefits:

 

HASSLE-FREE OWNERSHIP 

The first goal of any CVA is to make owning your Cat equipment as simple as possible. Every CVA includes flexible payment terms. Some may be rolled into your machine financing. You can also get incentive pricing on longer-term plans, which can last up to five years. Everything is designed to help maximize uptime, extend component life and reduce total ownership costs. 

Other CVA ownership benefits include: 

  • Reduced parts inventory 

  • Inventory buy-back programs 

  • Cost-per-hour guarantees

  • Helpful advice on equipment and operations  

 

HASSLE-FREE MAINTENANCE

Whether for routine maintenance or component rebuilds, a CVA can simplify the process. It all starts with guaranteed on-time parts and supplies delivery. Your CVA guarantees you’ll have what you need, when you need it.  

And when you let your dealer handle the basics — such as hose repair or GET replacements — you can free up your people for other tasks. Taking advantage of dealer labor can help you run a leaner operation.

Other CVA maintenance benefits include: 

  • Service training and instructions

  • Dealer parts inventory management 

  • Genuine Cat tooling

 

SECURITY OF EXPERT DEALER SUPPORT 

Your Cat dealer is ready to provide whatever support you need. Component life guarantees, shared risk plans and consulting services are optional add-ons for your CVA. And of course, your dealer can provide expert troubleshooting, diagnostics and repairs to get downed machines back into service quickly.

Other CVA support benefits include: 

  • Asset protection and optimization plans

  • Guaranteed replacement downtime 

  • Fitting services

  • Support for every machine in your fleet 

 

PEACE OF MIND FROM EQUIPMENT HEALTH MANAGEMENT

When you use monitoring technologies, a CVA gives you the inside story on the condition of your machines. Add a range of other equipment health management options, and you’ll be able to manage your equipment like never before. 

CVA dealer equipment health benefits include:

  • Inspection services 

  • Alert notifications

  • S•O•SSM fluid sampling and analysis 

  • Wear specialist and advisory reports

 

WORK WITH YOUR CAT DEALER 

Your Cat dealer can walk you through the CVA options that best meet your operation’s needs. Whether you’re running new or used equipment, Cat CVAs are as flexible and comprehensive as you need them to be.
