Heavy Duty Undercarriage Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Heavy Duty undercarriage?
It’s a robust solution for moderate-to-high impact applications, delivering superior durability and extended wear life while maintaining Caterpillar quality and reliability.
When should I choose Heavy Duty over General Duty or HDXL?
Select Heavy Duty for demanding conditions where strength and longevity matter. For lighter applications, General Duty offers a lower upfront cost. For extreme environments and maximum wear life, HDXL is the best choice.
Is Heavy Duty compatible with other Cat undercarriage systems?
Yes. Heavy Duty components are interchangeable with General Duty systems, making upgrades simple without retrofitting your Cat® machine.
How long does a Heavy Duty undercarriage last?
Track wear depends on application, operating conditions, and maintenance practices—regular inspections and correct track tension are essential for optimal performance.
Does Heavy Duty come with warranty coverage?
Yes. Caterpillar offers standard warranty coverage along with optional Undercarriage Assurance Programs for extra peace of mind.
Do you offer financing?
Absolutely. Customers can take advantage of flexible financing through the Cat® Card, an unsecured line of credit for parts, service, and rebuilds. Eligible accounts enjoy promotions like 0% financing for up to 36 months and earn Cat Vantage Rewards on qualifying purchases.
What makes Heavy Duty different from General Duty?
Heavy Duty undercarriages deliver up to 20% longer wear life for tough, high-impact conditions, while General Duty is designed for lighter applications at a lower initial cost. Both systèmes use interchangeable components for easy conversion as your needs evolve.
