“We’ve worked hard to create solutions that meet customers’ changing needs. Today, customers want a suite of options to fit their fleet. Now, we’ve got more parts than ever to keep them running efficiently.”

—Trent Tippey, Director of Parts and Service, Cat® Reman





Why Choose Cat® Reman? Here’s A Quick Refresher.

 

  • Like-new performance: Cat® Reman construction parts are remanufactured to meet Caterpillar performance specifications and incorporate critical engineering updates. They’re genuine Cat parts tested to perform like new.

  • Fraction-of-new cost: When you return your core (a used equipment part), Cat Reman components cost between 45-85% of the cost of new parts.1

  • Peace of mind: Every Cat Reman part is backed by a same-as-new Caterpillar Limited Warranty.2

  • Drop-in ready: Cat Reman construction parts are available on Parts.Cat.com or through your local Cat dealer.

  • Sustainability benefits: Cat Reman keeps cores in circulation with a remanufacturing process that uses less greenhouse gas process emissions, less new material by weight and less process energy than the manufacture of new parts.3

“Cat Reman parts make my job easier,” says Levi Lawson, shop foreman at Eutaw Construction, a Cat customer. When customers return their core, Cat Reman parts are not as expensive as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, but they’re comparable to OEM parts as far as service and longevity.

 

Supporting Construction Applications Day In & Day Out

 

Whether you’re running a small wheel loader, mid-size dozer or large excavator, the Cat Reman construction portfolio has you covered. We offer parts — from hydraulics and engines to drivetrain and electronics — to repair machines working in applications ranging from landscaping to site development to quarry and aggregates. As Trent Tippey, director of Cat Reman parts and service, notes: Customers may be used to seeing options for Cat D8 and D7 Dozers, but they may not be aware that Cat Reman offerings can support D6 and smaller equipment. The engineering team has made a concerted effort to provide lasting solutions for customers of all sizes.

Here’s just a sample of what’s available for Cat construction equipment:

  • Engine: complete engines, long blocks, short blocks and overhaul kits plus individual remanufactured engine parts like air compressors, camshafts, cylinder heads, injectors, turbochargers, oil coolers and pumps, alternators, water pumps, and more

  • Hydraulics: rods and cylinder groups, pumps and motors, valves, and accumulators

  • Drivetrain: transmissions, torque converters, driveshafts, final drives and wheel groups, steering clutch and brake groups, and more

  • Electronics: alternators, displays, electronic control modules, joysticks, sensors, starters, and more

Unlike wear parts such as hose and couplings, undercarriage tracks and ground engaging tools, Cat Reman products for construction are designed for long-lasting performance — just like new Cat parts. They’re high-value replacement parts that integrate seamlessly with your other machine components.

Tippey explains, “For do-it-myself customers who might not be able to dyno test their own engine, Cat Reman engines offer significant time savings, particularly for someone who might not want to invest in new.”

 

Time Saved = Money Saved

 

Like-new performance at a fraction-of-new price (with core return)1 is the obvious benefit when you choose Cat Reman components as a repair option for your construction equipment. But for companies like Eutaw Construction, the time savings are just as compelling. Ready-to-install parts — available at Cat dealers or online at Parts.Cat.com — can help reduce labor costs and downtime.

 



“The convenience of Cat Reman is essential to our everyday functionality. The longer we wait for a product, the longer we're down, the less production we get, and the more it costs us in the long run.”

—Levi Lawson, Shop Foreman, Eutaw Construction



 

For example, Tippey explains that a Cat C32 engine typically takes about 190 labor hours to rebuild. Repairing with a Cat Reman engine instead can take around 20 hours — 10 to remove the old engine and 10 to install the replacement.

 

Built To Streamline Your Next Rebuild

 

You can use Cat Reman components to save time and money with various Cat construction equipment repair options — including machine and component rebuilds. Because they’re drop-in solutions, Cat Reman parts are designed to be quick and easy to install. That helps reduce labor time and costs compared to rebuilding major components, without sacrificing quality or performance.

 



“Cat Reman parts are really the way to go, because they help us hold to our rebuild timeline and the customer is able to get the machine back up and running.”

—Joe Hainer, Product Support Sales Representative, N C Machinery



 

BDZ Construction — based out of Bothell, Washington, USA — recently tapped into the wide range of Cat Reman construction parts available, including engines, hydraulic pumps and motors, to rebuild three 336 excavators. The result:

  • Speed: It took just eight weeks to rebuild the first excavator from the engine all the way down to the axle.

  • Cost-effectiveness: Cat dealer N C Machinery projected that the money saved by rebuilding the excavators with Cat Reman parts (versus buying new) would allow BDZ to purchase and grow its fleet by one more machine.

  • Performance: BDZ’s operators noticed immediate improvements in hydraulic response and power on the rebuilt excavators.

8,000 Cat Reman Solutions … And Growing

 

Today, the Cat Reman portfolio for all industries includes over 8,000 different part numbers. That amount continues to rise, with more affordable offerings becoming available to meet customers' needs and fill gaps in our product line - with new offerings like the 300+ Cat Reman hydraulic cylinders and rods parts released in 2025!

“The product line is growing at a pace that nearly matches the development of new offerings available — as fast as customers return used core for remanufacturing,” Tippey says.

That’s because Cat Reman engineers work hand in hand with Caterpillar’s new product introduction teams — planning for the future remanufacturing of new components even while those parts are still in the design stage. They also use machine data and condition monitoring technology to predict the most in-demand replacement parts and move those to the top of the Cat Reman development list.

“We leverage data so we can make sure that the greatest customer need is matched to the latest Cat Reman options,” Tippey says.
