The Steps Behind a Cat Certified Rebuild
The Cat Certified Rebuild process involves these stages to deliver like-new performance:
- Inspection: Your rebuild team will perform visual inspections, fluid analysis and maintenance reviews. The Cat Certified Rebuild inspection process involves more than 350 tests.
- Disassembly: Next, the shop will completely disassemble your machine or components. They will replace or recondition as needed to meet Caterpillar’s high standards.
- Reconditioning: The Cat rebuild reconditioning process includes work that many companies don’t include in overhauls. Your rebuild experts will replace electronic control modules, worn linkage pins and many other components.
- Engineering updates: Cat machines, including your rebuild, continuously improve over the years. The rebuild shop will add any improvements to your model that Caterpillar introduced after its manufacture.
- Power train tests: Your rebuild shop will thoroughly inspect the engine, transmission, fuel system and other parts of your power train. They will then recondition or replace components that don’t meet specifications.
- Reassembly: During assembly, the rebuild team will maintain all necessary clearances, torques and pressure settings. They will also replace engine wiring harnesses.
- Performance testing: Once your rebuild experts reassemble your machine or system, they’ll perform quality control tests. These inspections use multiple methods to ensure that field and shop results match.
- Repainting: Your rebuild will receive an updated appearance in addition to its enhanced components. It will get a full repainting with identity graphics and a Cat Certified Rebuild decal.
- Serial or product identification number: At the end of the rebuild, your shop team will give your machine a new serial or product identification number.
- Client evaluation: The shop will not complete the rebuild process until you feel satisfied with your rebuild on the job.
