BUILT TO BE RE-BUILT
Caterpillar machines prioritize sustainability and are engineered to be reused and remanufactured to extend their lifespan.
Get a 2nd or 3rd life out of your machine
Modernize equipment features & technology
Rebuilds cost significantly less than the price of a new machine
Can be completed in 8 – 12 weeks, typically
Operators don’t have to learn a new machine
Warranty on replaced Cat parts
A CAT® CERTIFIED REBUILD COSTS ABOUT 55-60% OF A NEW MACHINE
REBUILDINGVSREPLACING THE PROS OF
MORE VALUE FROM YOUR INVESTMENT YOU GET
Caterpillar engineers equipment & components to perform for multiple lives.
Your rebuilt machine receives a unique identifier, like a Rebuild ID Number or new serial number, helping it retain its value for future resale opportunities.
YOU CAN
KEEP THE EQUIPMENT YOU LIKE USING
You don’t have to invest time & effort learning how to operate new equipment when you rebuild. There’s no downtime for training & no adjustment period before operators and technicians can go to work.
UPDATE OLDER MACHINES YOU CAN
UPGRADE OPTIONAL FEATURES + TECH YOU CAN
Cat machines get more productive, safer to operate and easier to service every year. Having engineering updates introduced after equipment was manufactured means your rebuilt machine may perform better than when it was new.
For example, you can add grade control or payload weighing. Or install a seat belt reminder or a camera system. Make operation safer or more comfortable. You can do all that and more when you upgrade features and tech during a rebuild.
+ You get same-as-new support and services from Riggs. We have the parts, service and expertise to keep your rebuilt equipment on the job.
