Caterpillar offers new repair options to keep Cat^® machine control and guidance systems up and running and owning and operating costs down. Two economical solutions, repairing components or using remanufactured ones, provide customers the flexibility to choose the option that best suits their needs.

Caterpillar^® remanufactured components are available off the shelf, warranted and are about half the price of new. Additionally, the Cat Machine Control & Guidance Repair Center has expanded its capabilities and now offers timely, warranted repairs of displays, radios, GPS receivers, laser products, antennas and blasthole drill system components. These two new repair options are available for the AccuGrade^TM Grade Control System, AQUILA^TM Drill and Dragline Systems, Computer Aided Earthmoving System (CAES), and MineStar^TM System.  

Cat Reman machine control and guidance components incorporate all critical engineering updates as they are factory-remanufactured using genuine Caterpillar parts. Each remanufactured component is tested extensively to ensure same-as-new performance, and each comes with a same-as-new, one-year warranty.

For repairs, factory-trained technicians at the Cat Machine Control & Guidance Repair Center rely on test systems that replicate real-world applications for accurate diagnosis of each problem and equally accurate repair estimates. Components are repaired to Caterpillar quality standards and are tested rigorously to ensure they meet those standards. Each repaired component has a 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Cat Reman components and factory repair options deliver solid reliability, ready availability and cost-controlling affordability.
