Pairing Cat® Planned Maintenance (PM) Kits with your planned system maintenance ensures you are prepared with the right parts for your equipment when you need them. Complete – and customizable – with all the right parts for your specific machine and power system maintenance interval, Cat PM Kits save you time and eliminate guesswork. These kits are a convenient way to keep your fleet in optimal condition to maximize operational efficiency and reduce downtime.
Plus, regular maintenance with genuine Cat parts helps your components to last longer and keeps your equipment running at peak performance, maximizing productivity and opportunities to grow your business.
What comes in a Cat PM Kit depends on your particular machine, generator set or power system and specific maintenance interval. You’ll always find Cat filters and sometimes Cat fluids. Other items may include:
The best part is that all of the components in your planned maintenance kit are backed by the standard 12-month Caterpillar® parts warranty.
When you build a kit on parts.cat.com, it will automatically populate with all the required and necessary parts. If you need everything on the list, click “Add All to Cart.” Otherwise, if you already have specific items on hand or want to grab an extra, you can add or remove items to your kit using the “+” and “–” buttons.
Prefer to have some additional confirmation or assistance you’re getting the right parts you need? You can always call or stop by a Warren CAT dealership location and have one of our knowledge and friendly parts reps help you with assembling the right kit for your equipment.
Ultimately, what goes in your kit is up to you.
Sure, you can buy planned maintenance parts one-by-one, but that can take an extended amount of time, research and planning to prepare your parts list – and comes with additional risk something important might be overlooked.
With a Cat PM Kit, not only is all that work done for you, saving you valuable time and reducing risk, but all the parts required for your equipment’s specific maintenance interval are boxed up in one convenient package. The only thing you need to decide is whether pick it up at your nearest Warren CAT dealership or have it shipped directly to you.
Additional reasons to create a custom Cat PM kit include:
Cat PM Kits may include Cat fluids like oil, coolant and grease. Tests show Cat fluids can extend oil drain intervals 1.5X to 3X versus the competition.* That means you could reduce the number of oil changes you perform from three down to one, a big time – and money – saver.
Every Cat PM Kit features Cat filters designed to deliver better equipment protection and performance. Competitive testing shows that Cat filters can lead to up to 45% longer fuel injector life, translating into up to 80% lower injector cost per hour.*
Cat PM Kits may include Cat fluids such as oil, coolant and grease. They’re designed to rigorous standards as part of the overall Cat system. Fluids, filters and components complement each other to help you maintain efficiency, maximize life and extend intervals on repairs.
We make it easy for you to track planned maintenance intervals with two free options — parts.cat.com and the Cat App — that give you instant access to machine hours, location, health and more right from your laptop or phone. Visit parts.cat.com to learn more and sign up.
