It is heavy equipment that are perhaps the backbone of any construction or mining company and vital parts of the machine are indeed the backbone of these heavy equipments. Thus, we can say that the machine that we can see in the construction site is nothing but amalgamation of different parts into one and if one part goes faulty, it might risk the life of the entire machine. Hence, it becomes imperative to take proper care of your heavy equipments which includes timely servicing and proper maintenance of the machine. Taking good care of the heavy equipment increases its life which in turn earns more profits for us.
We would be talking in detail about the various options a buyer has to buy parts of caterpillar equipments.
Directly from Caterpillar:- Getting the parts directly from Caterpillar is the most ideal option a buyer has with him. That will offer him some sort of guarantee for the part he is buying and also if he/she gives a bulk order, there are chances of him getting some discounts on the products. In case, if there happens to be any problem with the part, that could be addressed directly to the company who in turn will either get it fixed or replace it with a new one. Thus, there are hardly any chances for the customer being taken on a ride.
Buying it from a dealers:- Buying parts from a dealer who is known to you makes more sense that doing business with a person you don’t know much about. If you have just started a construction business and do not have much contacts with the dealer, its better that you take a reference from someone who has been dealing with a dealer from a long time. Such references work big time and it always helps you to get better deals. Caterpillar distributes parts of various machines to the dealers all across US so that buyers from a rural land can also have access to CAT machines and in case there happens to be any issue with its parts that can get fixed by getting it replaced with a new one.
Alternatively, you can also surf the net and check for the authorized Caterpillar dealers in your city/area. It’s also advisable to take along an expert with you who knows the in and out of your machine and also which part would be appropriate for your machine. You may allow him to do the talking with the dealer and hopefully you’ll end up getting a good deal.
Online selling sites:- There are plenty of online websites from where you can buy Caterpillar parts. All you need to do is hunt for the part and once you’ve found it, you can pay via your credit card and the item will be shipped to your mailing address. However, before you make the purchase, you should check the feedback of the seller. Only make a deal if you are convinced with his feedback score. Many people are content with doing online shopping and have purchased brand new Cat machine parts at a lesser price.
