Equipment Lifecycle Management

Health & Condition Monitoring

One of the primary goals of a successful maintenance organization is to schedule as many of its maintenance and repair activities as possible. When equipment downtime is unscheduled, costs go up, productivity and efficiency go down, and component life suffers. Through regular monitoring of machine conditions, mines can adopt a more proactive approach to maintenance and repair.

Equipment health data is a key contributor to condition monitoring. But sorting through all that data can be a challenge in and of itself. Caterpillar and Cat dealers provide services to assist with condition monitoring, combining their expertise with sophisticated analytics to help them in this effort.

Cat Remanufactured Parts

Remanufacturing takes advantage of the second life built into Cat diesel engine parts and other components, returning used parts to like-new condition—sometimes even better. When you buy a Cat Reman component, you get the same quality, warranty, performance and reliability at a fraction of the cost of the new version of the part. Virtually the only difference between a new part and a Cat Reman part is the price.

Retrofits & Upgrades

Caterpillar continually makes improvements to existing components and offers new features that make Cat machines safer, more reliable and more productive. You can take advantage of these new offerings today by talking to your Cat dealer about the retrofits and upgrades available for your machine. You’ll also find information on available options for each product on Cat.com/mining.

Mining Ground Engaging Tools

Ground Engaging Tools (GET) and other consumables are as essential to productivity as your mining machines themselves. Cat GET are built by Caterpillar and engineered to perform in tandem with your Cat machines. We offer a wide array of integrated equipment add-ons designed for your machines and your applications.

Service Training

Caterpillar service and maintenance online training courses are available to help inform and educate your technicians about taking care of your equipment. Through Caterpillar University, they’ll learn tips and techniques on how to better maintain your equipment and how to safely, effectively, and efficiently perform a visual walk-around inspection.
