Why buy a CAT engine for your mining operation? The answer is surprisingly simple. Over the past 20 years rebuilding CAT engines for mining companies around the world, we’ve learned from our customers that the mining business is just as complex as the mining equipment we service.
Tools and machines are expected to run full throttle for months at a time and are then slowed for days or weeks to balance output based on demand.
Productivity is measured by the amount of removed ore and waste from the mine and transported to processing outlets in relation to costs.
One of the biggest threats to impressive productivity numbers and profitability is when important pieces of mining machinery require replacement. Our mission is to keep your engines operating to maximize your mining productivity.
As a CAT engine remanufacturing shop, we would like to offer our unique perspective as to why we feel Caterpillar engines are the best choice for mining.
Top 3 Benefits of Caterpillar Engines:
Caterpillar is one of the largest, if not the largest, off-highway engine manufacturers in the world. This fact by itself provides many benefits. We feel the three most important of these include:
- Longevity: CAT engines have earned the reputation over the past 95 years as equipment made for heavy work loads over long periods of time. Mining management and owners have peace of mind knowing their investments will work for the long term.
- Availability: Due to CAT’s sheer production volume, purchasing of CAT engine replacement parts is a simple process for us as a remanufacturing shop. Most items are already in-stock when we order them direct from Caterpillar or require only a short wait for delivery. We are able to turnaround most engine rebuilds within two to three weeks, largely due to parts inventory we are able to keep on-hand and the speed of delivery for parts we need to order from Caterpillar.
- Predictability: Our customers expect perfection when we send them a remanufactured CAT engine. There is no room for error. Every engine needs to be drop-in ready. We are only able to deliver flawless product because of the focus Caterpillar has on providing precise product specifications.
Maximize Your ROI with Cat Engines
Those who work in mining and the heavy construction industry recognize the yellow gold engine color of a Caterpillar engine. But, CAT’s reputation extends far beyond visual appeal. Mining is business. Equipment used to power mining companies must earn its keep and produce financial results.
