Undercarriage

D8N/R/T GENERAL DUTY

UNDERCARRIAGE INTRODUCTION
Caterpillar introduces Cat® General Duty Undercarriage. Caterpillar created the new line
for Cat machines operating in lower usage or lighter duty applications where the full
value of Positive Pin Retention Undercarriage is not realized. General Duty
Undercarriage is Caterpillar designed and available exclusively through Cat dealers.
Additional machine models will follow this offering in the future.

Key Features of General Duty Undercarriage

• General Duty (GD) is built as a “run to destruction” undercarriage
– In some circumstances, a turn can be completed with lower post-turn life
expectations compared to PPR
• Requires minimum maintenance using standard inspections
– Checking for loose or broken hardware, leaks, dry joints, shoe overlap,
etc.
• CTS Wear Charts are available
• Service major groups
– Track Groups & Link Assemblies
– Idler Groups
– Roller Groups
– Sprocket Segments
• General Duty groups and assemblies can be repaired with Cat® Genuine Non-
Positive Pin Retention components
– Individual GD components not serviced
– Avoids GD parts being built into new PPR or non-PPR assemblies and
groups at factory assembly
– Avoids dual inventory and administration of similar low volume parts

Repair Parts

support General Duty. Links, pins, bushings, shoes are all repairable with Cat® Genuine
Non-PPR components.
