A warranty protects you from long-term cost risks and unexpected expenses. A used heavy equipment warranty reduces post-purchase risks on a machine that is already cost-effective, but there are some options to keep in mind. Here's how warranty and service options differ when buying used equipment.

Common Types of Used Equipment Warranties

Warranties are a strategic prevention tactic to avoid far greater costs. Make sure you know exactly what you're getting with yours.

Comprehensive and Certified Warranties

These are typically found on Cat^® Certified Used equipment. These warranties come with:

• A standard Equipment Protection Plan (EPP) that covers parts and labor for many major components.
• Steering and hydraulic controls coverage, with electronics protection depending on your plan tier.
• Protection from unexpected repair costs due to defects in materials or workmanship.
• Repairs from trained Cat dealers using authentic Cat parts.
• A rigorous inspection covering up to 140 points before sale.

This type of coverage means that a Cat used equipment warranty is similar to what you get when buying new.

Limited Powertrain Warranties

This warranty for used equipment covers the engine, transmission and drive axles. It typically excludes wear-and-tear items, fluids, routine maintenance, cosmetics and most electronics. These warranties are subject to time and mileage or hours-used limitations, expiring once either threshold is met.

The No Warranty Option

An as-is purchase has no warranty. If a critical hydraulic line fails a week after you buy it, the entire cost of parts, services and downtime is yours. If your purchase has a Wagner-backed warranty, servicing used construction equipment is simple and predictable. With a Wagner-backed Customer Value Agreement (CVA), our technicians can come directly to your jobsite with a fully equipped service truck.

The Value of a Trusted Service Partner

The right warranty and partner is the ultimate combination for long-term value, reduced risk and increased uptime. Here's how Wagner has been the trusted service partner for clients since 1976.
