Product feature: Cat Advansys pumps and motors
Cat pumps and motors are designed by Caterpillar to deliver optimal Cat machine performance
For optimal hydraulics system operation, the performance and durability of pumps and motors is critical. Since they’re precisely designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of Cat equipment, genuine Cat pumps and motors offer high standards of quality and reliability, its manufacturer says.
Here’s another critical point: don’t wait for failure. As Caterpillar’s aftermarket services consultant for hydraulics Chloe Xie says, "Waiting for failure can result in unplanned downtime and additional costs. So be sure to watch for warning signs and repair indicators."
It’s sound advice. The table below highlights some of the key repair indicators and possible causes. Keep an eye out for them or talk to a Cat dealer about the right service options.

Their diagnostic services can pinpoint problems and provide solutions. Many Cat dealers use specialised equipment such as a testbench for testing and tuning pumps and motors, which helps them be more precise in their repair and replacement recommendations.
