KEY BENEFITS

BCat® Abrasion™ is built on proven Cat Rotating Bushing technologythat extends undercarriage wear life. Combined with an advanced
proprietary cartridge design that dramatically improves sealability,
Cat Abrasion delivers the lowest cost per hour in high-abrasion,
low-to-medium impact applications.

LESS MAINTENANCE
Eliminates the need for bushing turns
in abrasive applicationsADB

EXTENDED WEAR LIFE
Patented relieved tread idler design extends lifeup to 2x longer compared to traditional idlers

LOWER COSTS
Better sealability means less maintenanceand reduced costs over the lifecycle

SMOOTHER RIDECDEliminates contact between idlers and link rails
providing a smoother ride for operators

INNOVATIVEIMPROVEMENTS
IMPROVED SEALABILITY COMBINED WITH THE PROVEN WEAR LIFE
OF ROTATING BUSHING TECHNOLOGY MEANS CAT ABRASION NEEDSLESS TIME FOR MAINTENANCE AND COSTS LESS TO OPERATE.

CATERPILLAR UNDERCARRIAGE
ASSURANCE (UA) PROGRAM
Cat Abrasion offers leakage and breakage
coverage for 4 years/6,000 hours,or 100% worn, whichever comes first.

CUSTOM TRACK SERVICE (CTS)
UNDERCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT
Used by dealer undercarriage specialists,
CTS offers customers an efficient inspection
process for measuring and managing wear
components, identifying equipment issues,
predicting undercarriage wear-out timing
and calculating cost per hour.

PARTS COMPATIBILITY

Cat engineers spent thousands of hours talking
to customers, designing and testing undercarriage
performance in high abrasion, low-to-medium impact
applications. Their mission was to figure out themost effective ways to reduce dry joints and improvesealability to create the lowest cost-per-hour
undercarriage. Their efforts paid off.
