Caterpillar certified Rebuilds

RebuildBeforeAfter When most competitive models would require replacement, Cat® equipment can be rebuilt to deliver a cost-effective second life!

Rebuild or replace? Empire’s rebuild programs offer equipment owners several lower-cost alternatives to purchasing new machines.

A Caterpillar Certified Rebuild is the most complete procedure. The old machine is completely disassembled, and all non-metal components are replaced. Some large metal components (frames, rippers, blocks, etc.) can be reconditioned and reused. This is the most expensive of Empire's three equipment rebuild procedures, but is far less than the cost of a new machine.
A Certified Powertrain Rebuild is similar to the full Certified Rebuild, but includes only components that are part of the powertrain. Many machine owners find that the Certified Powertrain Rebuild strikes the right balance between price and performance requirements.
A Second-Life Rebuild is usually the least expensive of the three options. It generally involves a combination of rigorous inspections and reconditioning or replacing parts and components as appropriate.

Your Empire Product Support Representative will work with you to help determine what each of our rebuild options will cost and what benefits you can expect. Contact us for more information at 1-800-EMPIRE 1.
