Caterpillar has extended its machine standard warranty to 24 months or 2,000 hours for skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, multi-terrain loaders and mini excavators sold in the U.S. and Canada by authorized Cat dealers. Starting Jan. 1, 2018, the enhanced warranty terms apply to new machine purchases.

“Our mission is to help customers succeed,” said Korey Coon, Caterpillar BCP Product general manager. “We design and build Cat compact machines to be productive, reliable and durable, and Cat dealers offer unmatched service capabilities. The enhanced warranty builds our support of customers’ businesses even further.”

The enhanced standard warranty also helps customers protect their budgets from unforeseen expenses created by repair costs and/or downtime. And when it’s time to trade-in a machine, warranted, dealer-serviced machines command greater value.

Beyond the standard 24-month, 2,000-hour warranty, Cat Financial Services offers a full range of equipment protection plans.
