 oil filter carts
Designed for filtering machine system
oils on Cat® machines—such as off-
highway trucks, excavators, motor
graders, track-type tractors, wheel
loaders, and wheel tractor scrapers—
these carts clean oil by kidney
looping, a process that extends the life
of the machine, lowers costs, and
allows for scheduled maintenance.
Other features include:
• Large-capacity high-efficiency
filters that remove and hold more 194-2897 ......................................................... page 4
contaminants, saving time
and money
• 12-inch pneumatic tires for easy
maneuvering
• Quality Cat hoses that stand up to
heat and abuse
• Air-powered pumps for high-volume
low pressure
• Flush-face, quick disconnect fittings
to speed hookup and maintain
cleanliness
• Machine connection adapters that
can be purchased separately
• Tool boxes and hose storage for 188-3242 ......................................................... page 5
