Think a used machine automatically means higher service costs? Think again. Every Cat Certified Used machine is backed by a Caterpillar warranty that helps you control repair expenses, manage risk and protect your livelihood.

Called an Equipment Protection Plan, or EPP, this comprehensive coverage protects more than 70 different powertrain and hydraulics components. Expert repairs completed at your Cat dealer are done right the first time, by highly-trained technicians using genuine Cat parts.

Buying used can be a hit-or-miss proposition. Who knows how the previous owner operated the machine or if he stuck to the recommended preventive maintenance schedule? Well, with a Cat Certified Used machine, you DO know.

Many machines come right from your dealer's rental fleet, so you’ll know exactly where your machine was used, what it was used for and how it was maintained.  We share that with you before you buy, so you can make an informed decision. You’ll also receive a copy of the Operation & Maintenance Manual (OMM).

Bonus: When you’re ready to sell, you’ll have the complete service record in hand — a critical component in getting the highest resale value.

Your dealer puts every Cat Certified Used machine through a comprehensive up to 140-point inspection. If that reveals any issues, highly-trained technicians perform the necessary service using only genuine Cat parts. They complete all the most recent maintenance, too, so you don’t need to worry about changing oil or filters until the next service interval. Your machine is ready to hit the jobsite the moment you take it off the dealer lot.

Availability is high for Cat Certified Used equipment, too — in some cases you can shop for a machine and put it to work that same day.

With every new generation of equipment, manufacturers upgrade performance. New models are more productive, comfortable and fuel efficient. But just because you’re buying used doesn’t mean you have to settle for “old” levels of performance and efficiency.

Every Cat Certified Used machine is a late-model product that delivers like-new quality and reliability, as well as many of the same technology and operator comfort features as today’s models. If your Cat Certified Used machine comes equipped with telematics, your dealer will make sure you’re connected. If not, your dealer can upgrade your machine to include it — giving you fast, easy access to equipment hours, location and health data.
