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.
