CAT® LINKAGE PINS & BEARINGS

DON’T FORGET
THE LINKAGE PINS
AND BEARINGS
The key to less unplanned downtime is planned downtime. Poor linkage pin and
bearing maintenance can cost you up to 34 hours of time for services that could have
been avoided. So, when you decide to replace your Cat® large wheel loader bucket,
it’s the optimal time to consider replacing your Cat linkage pins and bearings. Doing
your replacements all in one go will reduce downtime and save you money — and
a headache — down the road.
Cat linkage pins and bearings were designed to reduce the risk of component
malfunction and wear, something especially important in avoiding inaccuracies that
lead to overload or underload situations for wheel loaders. Using Cat linkage pins
and bearings will drive to achieving the intended owning and operating costs,
and top-quality machine control.
