Ground Engaging Tools

3/06/2007

Choosing the right Ground Engaging Tools (GET) is important to getting the highest return on your machine investment. GET protects the expensive parts of your blades, buckets and ripper shanks. And the resulting longer life reduces your maintenance costs. GET also plays a big part in determining how well your machine performs in a specific application.

Caterpillar dealers offer many GET options, because every machine and application has special needs. Our GET specialists and product support representatives are trained and experienced in matching the right tools to the application. Dealers can provide technical assistance in selecting the tool you need for each specific job. Caterpillar warrants most ground engaging tools against breakage. That is, if any should break during normal operation, at any time during their life, Caterpillar will provide a new replacement free of charge. Details of each warranty is available at any Caterpillar dealer. For specific GET options for Cat machines, please visit your Cat dealer. Remember, never operate a bare bucket!
