Cat Retrofits and EMCP Upgrades
Cat retrofits allow new or updated parts to be fitted to older Cat engines.
Retrofitting your equipment means you can add features that were available, but not purchased, when you procured your Cat product; and add features introduced on newer equipment that were not available when you purchased, rented or leased your Cat engine.
Retrofits are a key component of Caterpillar’s longstanding and ongoing commitment in research and development, to extend product lifecycles of existing Cat generators and engines. As a Cat product owner you stand to benefit from of this research and development by taking advantage of our extensive retrofit product and service offerings.
When to Retrofit?
- You can’t get the new engine you want in time
- Your existing engine is too good to sell
- Your existing engine is making excessive noise or emissions
- Your existing engine has productivity and maintenance issues
With selected retrofits for Cat engines and components, you can extend working hours and service life. Cat retrofit programs and retrofit kits are expertly engineered to:
- Enhance reliability, durability and ease of assembly
- Update safety, performance, maintenance, and appearance of your existing equipment
- Extend useful product life
- Cat retrofit kits and service parts are backed by Cat parts warranty
