ADVANTAGES OF REBUILD FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY

WANT TO GET MORE OUT OF YOUR ORIGINAL MACHINE INVESTMENT?

Then it's time to consider rebuilding of your equipment.

Machines designed to be rebuilt
Did you know that Cat® machines are designed to last for several life cycles? A basic rebuild will help you extend the life of your machine, which means getting the most out of your initial investment. With the basic rebuld, the machine can be comprehensively overhauled at Avesco's certified workshop in accordance with Caterpillar's strict quality standards, tailoring the service according to the customer's needs, from the overhauled of a single component to the rebuilding of the entire machine, whereby the machine's service life, reliability and performance are restored to a like-new level.

With the Cat Certified Rebuild program, you can restore most Cat earthmoving, mining and power equipment and power systems to like-new condition.

    The 5 most important advantages of a machine rebuild

    Why should you consider rebuilding your machine versus buying a new machine? Get to know the five most important benefits of a rebuild:

    1. You save money

    The price of a Cat Certified Rebuild is usually around 55-60% of the price of a new machine. With flexible financing options, you can manage your cash flow and pay on time, making it easier to fit your renovation into your budget.

    2. Restore - or even improve - performance

    The Cat Certified Rebuild process is comprehensive and is performed by Avesco's Cat-trained professionals. They have access to the latest technical information, specialized equipment and strict quality control procedures, guaranteeing like new performance. In addition, every overhaul takes into account the technical updates made after the original manufacture of your machine, which means that your machine can work even better than when you bought it.

    3. Update to current standards
    Want to increase efficiency by upgrading machine to meet current emissions standards or adding a payload system? What about a background camera or LED lights to make working safer? During a Cat Certified Rebuild, you can upgrade optional features and technologies, an easy way to improve performance without investing in new machines. 

    4. Increase resale value
    Avesco carries out the overhaul according to Caterpillar's strict standards, which guarantees high quality standards. When it´s time to sell, with a Cat Certified Rebuild, you can achieve a higher resale value for your machine. 

    5. You get the same benefits as a new machine
    Cat Certified Rebuild machines not only perform like new, but we also offer them new benefits. You get the same warranty as a new one on all replaced parts, and you can add Extended Extended Protection (EPP) for peace of mind. Avesco also offers excellent availability of spare parts, preventive maintenance packages, repair options and much more to keep your rebuilt machine operational.

    Cat-certified rebuild options

    The benefits of overhauling heavy equipment are not limited to a complete overhaul of the machine. The Cat Certified Rebuild program also includes options for other rebuilds such as:

    • Transmission systems from radiator to axles.
    • Excavator hydraulic systems.
    • Individual machine parts including engines, transmissions, torque converters, axle assemblies and final drives.
    • Generator sets, pumps and other commercial power systems.

    Who is a machine overhaul suitable for?

    Any owner of medium and large construction machines can take advantage of the benefits of a basic overhaul. However, Cat Certified Rebuild can be especially valuable if:

    • You use your machines for a high number of hours. The resale value may not increase very much if you use the machine to the end of its expected life. Selling a machine with a high number of hours does little to compensate for the purchase of a new machine. In such a situation, rebuild may make more sense in terms of the result.
    • You want to keep machines that your operators and technicians are already familiar with. You and your team can be comfortable with the current machines, and you don't have to invest in training or worry about downtime while operators and technicians familiarize themselves with the new machine.
