Selling the Value: Cat® Mini Hydraulic Excavators

500 Hour Grease Interval on Implements

Oil Impregnated Pin Bearing In Cylinder Eye Feature: 500 Hour Grease Interval on Front Implement.

Benefit: Cat® Mini Hydraulic Excavators have additional value built

into the greased pin joints with oil impregnated bearings that
allow for 500 hour service intervals in some cases vs. daily
greasing needed by competitors. Greasing a machine can be
a messy and time-consuming task, neglecting to maintain the
proper bearing lubrication could lead to damage resulting in
downtime and costly repairs. With oil impregnated bearings
the Cat machine reduces the frequency that a pin joint needs
to be greased and minimizes wear.

Oil Impregnated Pin Bearing On Machine Structure Value to Customer:

1. Reduce time spent greasing machine allowing operator to
focus more time on getting the excavating job done –
Increased Productivity
2. With less bearing wear the machine maintains low friction pin
joints which reduces the energy consumption when using the
front implement - Efficiency
3. Less wear, tight joints over time – Premium Quality
4. Bearings can be replaced – Higher Resale Value
