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.

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.”

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.

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.
