Cat® Certified Rebuilds for Asphalt Paving and Maintenance Equipment

If you are currently owning and operating a Cat® Asphalt Paver, Cold Planer, or Reclaimer / Stabilizer, you can realize the benefits of rebuilding your entire machine. Cat Certified Rebuild programs return end-of-life machines to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost of buying new. Seasonal transitions are ideal for considering your options.

How a Cat Certified Rebuild Adds Value

Here are some of the benefits that increase the value of a Cat Certified Rebuild:

  • Thorough inspections: A complete machine rebuild includes more than 350 tests and inspections.
  • Automatic replacement of parts that don’t meet reusability guidelines: For a machine rebuild, that amounts to approximately 7,000 parts — which can be a mix of new Cat parts and Cat Reman products to help you manage repair time and cost.
  • Rebuilds include all engineering updates to current specifications: You also get the choice to upgrade or retrofit with new features and options available on today’s models.
  • A like-new warranty comes on all replaced parts: A Rebuild Identification Number (RIN) provides your rebuilt machine with a brand-new identity.

How a Rebuild Saves You Money

You’ve already made a significant investment in your road building equipment and rebuilds can help you get a greater return by extending the working life of your machines. Here are some additional ways a rebuild puts more money in your pocket.

  • No depreciation: A new machine depreciates from 20-40% in value during the first year. When you rebuild, you’ll avoid this depreciation.
  • Fewer repairs: Replacing old, worn or damaged parts and components should mean you won’t need to repair your equipment as frequently, especially as it continues to age. You’ll spend less money on upkeep, which contributes to a healthier bottom line.
  • Enhanced equipment value: Upgrading equipment with new parts and components increases its value. You’ll get more in return if you decide to trade your machine in or put it up for sale.
  • Save money by repairing/reconditioning BEFORE failure: If you let parts progress to failure, you could be spending as much as 2.5 times more for the cost of your repair. As machines work more hours, wear and fatigue can lead to bigger, more costly problems.
  • Financing your rebuild: Various financing options are available from your Cat dealer, allowing you to get the rebuild you need to fit your budget.
