French customer doubles wear life with Caterpillar® SystemOne™ undercarriage

French customer doubles wear life with Caterpillar® SystemOne™ undercarriage
Gérard Audureau, equipment manager for Guintoli Company in Western France, is responsible for a large fleet of machines. In particular, he is in charge of seven Caterpillar track-type tractors equipped with factory-fit SystemOne undercarriage. The local Cat® dealer Bergerat Monnoyeur conducted undercarriage measurements on one of these machines, a D6R XL with 2,427 service hours, and revealed the outstanding improvements in the undercarriage wear life: the links were worn only 25 percent and the idlers, the segments sprocket and the bushings are worn less than 8 percent.

"We have used Caterpillar D6H and D6R tractors for many years, mostly in abrasive applications. Compared to the conventional undercarriage, the SystemOne undercarriage lasts more than 100 percent longer. This definitely lowers my owning and operating cost. We are now considering retrofitting SystemOne to other machines in our fleet," Audureau explains.

SystemOne undercarriage is the latest advancement in a century of undercarriage technology leadership, and another example of Caterpillar's commitment to offering the best products and solutions to our customers. With over 150,000+ hours of operation on customers' job sites and 24+ patents, SystemOne sets new industry standards for reliability and durability.
