Cat Reman is Caterpillar's remanufacturing program that restores used components—known as "cores"—to like-new condition, adhering to original performance specifications. This process involves disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, and updating parts with the latest engineering advancements before rigorous testing ensures they meet stringent quality standards.
The primary objectives of Cat Reman are to offer customers cost-effective, high-quality alternatives to new parts and to promote sustainability by reducing waste and conserving resources. By remanufacturing components, the program supports a circular economy, helping to minimise greenhouse gas emissions and lessening the demand for raw materials.
Customers benefit from Cat Reman through lower costs—typically 20-35% less than new parts—without compromising on quality or reliability. Additionally, these remanufactured parts come with a same-as-new warranty, providing peace of mind and ensuring continued performance in demanding applications.
