Used equipment that has the Cat^® Certified Used (CCU) badge is an instant signifier of quality and reliability. But what does used Cat equipment with this certification actually offer? Here's what Cat Certified Used really means for buyers with long-term value and dependability in mind.

Comparing CCU vs. Standard Used Equipment

Cat Certified Used equipment offers four key differences compared to standard options:

• Inspection: A CCU's 140-point inspection is far more comprehensive than a standard check or an as-is purchase.
• Warranty: CCUs come with a manufacturer-backed warranty. Standard used machines have none.
• Age and hours: Standard equipment doesn't always have a clear operational history. CCUs have strict age and operating hour criteria.
• Financing: A Cat Certified Used equipment dealer has special financing options for more flexibility.

A Rigorous Inspection Process

Cat Certified Used machines back their premium price tag with a guarantee of peace of mind. This is bolstered by trained technicians, who conduct comprehensive inspections covering:

• The engine
• Hydraulics
• Undercarriage
• Cab
• Fluids
• Electronics

Components that don't meet the premium standards of Cat Certification are repaired or replaced immediately. These parts are directly sourced from Caterpillar to provide the best possible performance.

The CCU Warranty and Extra Support

Machines like Cat Certified Used dozers, other equipment and replacement parts come with a factory-backed warranty guarantee. An Equipment Protection Plan (EPP) provides additional coverage for a CCU machine. For business owners looking for the best possible value, this offers:

• Protection from the cost and downtime of unexpected major repairs.
• A range of levels to choose from for customized coverage.
• Coverage for defects and the manufacturer's workmanship.

Any official Caterpillar coverage will be fulfilled by your chosen authorized dealer partner.

A Smart, Lower-Risk Investment
