Cat Rock Drill Advantage
Cat Rock Drills are power matched to the applica-
tion for energy-efficient drilling. They are simple and
durable, with extended service intervals, and service on
the feed is quick. Major components are designed to
last the life of the machine, and Caterpillar is the only
manufacturer that offers rock drills that can be serviced
on-site. With triple the lifespan and less than one-half
of the parts costs of competitive rock drills, you cannot
overlook the value of a Cat Rock Drill for reaching
maximum uptime and low costs.
Rock Drills That Are Owner Serviceable
Owner-serviceable rock drills yield a significant cost
savings as others require downtime for round trip trans-
portation to a clean room environment for service. With
Cat Rock Drills, stocking multiple or back up rock drills
is not required and all maintenance can be done in your
shop and even on the feed including, and up to, a major
rebuild.
Rock Drill Service Cost Advantage
Cat Rock Drills require 3.5 times less service hours
per year because they are robust and require fewer serv-
ice intervals. Each service takes only half of the time of
other rock drills due to simplistic design with four hous-
ings and only half of the internal parts of other brands.
Overall the Cat Rock Drills service cost is 60 percent less
than competitive models year over year.
