Caterpillar Launches Bundled Repair Kits for Land Drilling Adapted from Information by Caterpillar Oil & Gas Frequent site switches, tight sched- ules, and operations that never stop leave your crew little time for overhauls, but it doesn't mean your engine doesn't need one. Made for more uptime, Caterpillar Oil & Gas has introduced bundled repair kits for the Cat ® 3512 oil and gas engine in land drilling applications. The Cat bundled repair solutions are a customized, comprehensive solution for customers looking to maximize uptime in land drilling operations. Customers are able to choose a top end or major founda- tional kit and customize it with the com- ponents necessary for top end or major engine overhauls. In addition to being competitively priced and engineered for high-quality overhauls, the kits are also backed by a one-year standard warranty. “The bundled repair solution presents significant benefits to the customer as we have designed the bundled repair option to be customized to each indi- vidual overhaul, yet easy to order from our global Cat dealer network,” Brent Skold, Caterpillar Oil & Gas product sup- port marketing consultant stated. “Our goal was to develop a flexible, quick solu- tion that would deliver results for our cus- tomers when they needed it most.” Comprised of a 100% replacement parts kit prepackaged and segmented for convenience, the bundled repair solu- tion is easy for either a service technician or a customer to assemble. Caterpillar’s worldwide parts distri- bution network is able to deliver the kits to most companies within just a couple of days. New bundled repair solutions will continue to be released to support land drilling customers. Look for coverage for the Cat 3508, as well as the Cat C18 oil and gas engine soon! Join WWDR for a fun time during the Meet and Greet. Chowder will be served! In addition to the trade show offer- ing displays of products and services for today’s groundwater industry, there’s a technical program with more informa- tion to expand your knowledge. There will also be an awards dinner with “Kitchen Party Style” entertainment, dinner, dancing, and a silent auction.
