JCB Reman Program

JCB North America’s Reman Program gives customers the ability to purchase genuine JCB remanufactured parts with the same quality and warranty as new parts — but at a fraction of the cost. JCB’s remanufacturing process disassembles the eligible component into individual parts. Then, using state-of-the-art cleaning equipment and inspection techniques, it’s fully restored and reassembled. This brings the part back to the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) standards. Buying remanufactured parts instead of new helps to reduce ownership and operating costs while improving resale and maintenance values, ensuring the JCB machine remains an attractive investment.

Cat Bar-Style Rubber Tracks

Caterpillar offers a bar-style rubber track for all compact track loader models as both a factory option and as a replacement part offering. The bar-style rubber track incorporates steel imbeds and longitudinal steel cords similar to the block-style track. However, the bar-tread rubber track differentiates itself in its ability to minimize ground disturbance, making it ideal for landscapers who perform finish grade work. The bar-style track leaves behind a series of narrow, parallel ridges that are easily knocked down with a rake prior to installing sod or other finishing product. The bar-style tread also offers extra traction when operating in snow, especially when compared to a traditional block-tread pattern. The bar-style track will allow Cat track loader models, both old and new, to be even more versatile. For more info, contact your local cat dealer or visit cat.com.

Cool Engine Application

The new Cummins Guidanz mobile app is streamlining the service process for Cummins engine customers.

The customer can email this information directly from the app to their off-site operations manager or service provider in order to initiate the service process, rather than having a service technician come on-site to diagnose the fault code. In addition, the app features a service locator tool, allowing the operator to quickly locate a nearby certified repair center. The customer can also choose to connect directly with Cummins Care to initiate the service process.
