Rebuild

Caterpillar designs and builds its equipment to be rebuilt, providing equipment owners with a sustainable, cost-effective way to keep operations going. A Cat® certified rebuild restores a machine or single component so you can continue using it after it reaches the end or near the end of its life cycle. Rather than investing in a costly new machine, you can save money, continue capitalizing on your existing equipment, and increase your return on investment (ROI).

Cat® Certified Rebuild Program From Thompson Tractor

Thompson Tractor’s Cat certified rebuild program can help you rebuild entire machines from the bottom up or rebuild single components depending on your needs. If general wear and tear and years of heavy usage have left your dependable Cat machine in need of care, our cost-effective solutions can help you restore your equipment’s original capabilities while saving money.

Maximize Your ROI With a Cat Certified Rebuild

Rebuild ROI

Extending a machine’s life span for as long as possible results in a higher ROI, helping you get the most value out of your original investment. Rather than purchasing an entirely new machine, Thompson Tractor’s experts can help you rebuild your existing machine at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. You can do the following with a Cat certified rebuild:

  • Update your machine’s components: An equipment rebuild can help you update your machine’s powertrain, hydraulics, engine, or all of these components at once.
  • Use your machine longer: Rebuilding a piece of equipment enables you to use it longer, giving you more time before you need to make a new large investment.
  • Increase your equipment’s resale value: Rebuilt equipment typically has a higher resale value because it features updated components and technology.

This sustainable remanufacturing process is a cost-effective solution across all industries and offers the following advantages:

  • Reduced waste: A Cat Reman uses 80% to 90% less raw materials than rebuilds.
  • Reduced cost: Remanufacturing a Cat machine is 45% to 85% of the cost of purchasing a new machine.
  • Warranty: A 12-month parts warranty is included with every Cat Reman.
