Get More from Your Machine Investment with a Rebuild
CUT YOUR COSTS IN HALF (OR MORE)
For many customers, choosing Cat® equipment over other brands isn’t just about getting a machine that’s productive and efficient on the job. It’s about getting a machine that can be productive and efficient over the course of multiple lifetimes — and making the most of a smart investment.
“One of the reasons we really look at Cat equipment is the possibility of rebuilding it numerous times,” says Mark Schildberg, president of Schildberg Construction, a limestone quarry operation that runs its machines up to 10 hours a day, seven days a week. “We have numerous pieces of equipment that have gone through three total rebuilds.”
Schildberg Construction’s experience
Schildberg Construction recently completed a Cat Certified Rebuild on a 980H wheel loader with more than 23,000 hours. The team at Cat dealer Ziegler restored the machine to like-new condition, plus incorporated many of the latest engineering updates.
Schildberg also chose to upgrade the rebuilt loader with new LED lighting, tire pressure monitoring and seat belt reminder systems, and a backup camera to improve productivity and safety on the job. (Watch the video below for a closer look at the 980H rebuild.)
“We don’t tend to just buy a machine and trade it off,” says Scott Armstrong, shop supervisor for Schildberg Construction. “We rebuild multiple times, and you can do that with Cat equipment.”
Advantages of a Cat® Certified Rebuild
If you haven’t considered a Cat Certified Rebuild for your equipment, perhaps it’s time you did — especially if you tend to run your machines to high hours like Schildberg Construction and you enjoy getting maximum economic value out of your original investment. Cat Certified Rebuilds:
- Return your end-of-life equipment to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost of buying new
- Let you keep the equipment you’re comfortable using while restoring — or even improving on — its original performance and productivity levels
- Incorporate engineering updates introduced after your equipment was first manufactured
- Give you the option to upgrade optional features and technologies to current standards — a great way to reduce costs, boost productivity and enhance efficiency at a much lower price than buying new
- Come with like-new product support from your Cat dealer, as well as rebuild financing options available through Cat Financial
- Include more than just complete machine rebuilds — Certified Powertrain, Commercial Engine, Hydraulic and Machine Component Rebuilds are available as well
Here’s another benefit: Cat Certified Rebuild machines tend to capture significantly higher resale value because they’re rebuilt to a strict set of standards required by Caterpillar, then updated, serviced and supported to a higher level than other rebuild programs. That’s why choosing a Cat Certified Rebuild performed by your local Cat dealer is the best way to take advantage of the multiple lives built into your Cat equipment and get the maximum return on your investment.
