Cat® Hydraulic Excavator Life Extension

Your Cat® hydraulic excavator is built for the toughest of projects. Still, that hard work takes a toll, so it’s important to have a plan in place when your machine requires service.

At Puckett Machinery, we offer a highly trained service team that can restore key components of your machine to increase its reliability and capability for your projects.

Our team works with you every step of the way to ensure that the work we do to revitalize your machine aligns with your budget. We also provide a Cat credit line you can apply for to cover the cost of the work upfront, allowing you to pay it back at a rate that works for you.

Is It Worth Rebuilding an Excavator?

The short answer is yes. Having Puckett Machinery rebuild your hydraulic excavator has several benefits.

First, you will pay considerably less to restore your machine’s key components than you would to purchase new equipment. You’ll also avoid depreciation expenses while making the most of your original investment.

Since we perform rebuilds with genuine Cat components, we can guarantee their performance. Your rebuilt excavator will be capable of a new level of productivity and efficiency. We even provide a warranty on all replaced parts to give you absolute confidence in our work.

If you’re looking to extend the life of your excavator, a professional rebuild is an excellent way to do so.

In addition to engine and hydraulic pump restoration, our team is qualified to provide a range of additional services:

  • Removing and cleaning the cooling package
  • Replacing CEM / DEF
  • Replacing main hydraulic pump lines
  • Resealing all hydraulic cylinders
  • Resealing the pilot control valve

A Comprehensive Rebuild Process

The meticulous Puckett Machinery rebuild process ensures your rebuilt hydraulic excavator arrives ready to go to work. The steps we follow are carefully executed by experienced technicians, and we’ll clarify the entire process before starting so you know exactly what to expect.

Our approach is designed to completely revitalize your machine inside and out. Here’s every step in the complete rebuild process:

  1. Inspect, evaluate and completely disassemble
  2. Recondition all parts to be reused
  3. Rebuild the engine and hydraulic pump
  4. Incorporate the latest engineering updates
  5. Install Product Link™ hardware so you can monitor machine condition
  6. Reassemble and conduct quality and performance tests
  7. Repaint and apply Cat Certified Machine Component Rebuild ID plates and decals

From taking your equipment apart to find every possible concern to updating it with new technology to support your team’s productivity, we equip you to get work done successfully and on time.

By the time we’ve applied a fresh coat of paint and decals, you’ll have a rebuilt excavator that looks as good as it performs.
