Caterpillar Launches Cat Fleet Bucket Program for Mixed Fleets

Caterpillar, Irving, Texas, announced in July its Cat® Fleet Bucket Program, which allows customers to benefit from Cat ground engaging tools (GET) on third-party buckets sourced from local bucket manufacturers. A new or rebuilt bucket, whether a Cat bucket or other brand, can now be equipped with Cat GET, available in multiple designs to meet the needs of specific applications.

The program is available to meet a range of machine bucket needs, including those for compact, wheeled and backhoe loaders, excavators, hydraulic mining shovels and rope shovels. Caterpillar and the Cat dealer work with hundreds of local bucket manufacturers globally to offer GET options to fit their customized bucket designs. This enables customers with mixed fleets to standardize on Cat GET to help increase wear life, decrease downtime and even increase productivity.

Cat dealers can also set up customer fleets with the Bucket Pro App, which allows dealers to monitor GET wear to help plan maintenance, manage inventory and identify the best GET solutions for the work at hand.
