Equipment Protection Plans (EPP) offer coverage options that help you plan ahead for unplanned repair costs, backed by the expertise of your Cat dealer.
The right coverage helps you stay focused on the job—not the “what if.”
Machines within the first year of the Caterpillar Limited Warranty are eligible for New EPP through your local Cat dealer. With multiple coverage options, EPP is designed to fit your equipment and business needs.
Used machine EPP programs offer simple pricing and enrollment processes, along with multiple coverage options for Cat Certified used and individual used machines.
The Cat Certified Used program is built to simplify your used equipment purchase. By bringing together protection, planned maintenance support, machine quality standards, and a broader selection of eligible equipment, it gives you added confidence and peace of mind.
The Individual Used EPP covers eligible used machines outside of the Caterpillar Limited Warranty.
Rebuild machine EPP programs help protect your investment with coverage options tailored for rebuilt equipment.
Cat Certified Rebuild machines are disassembled and rebuilt by Cat dealers for customers to achieve a second full life. Rigorous testing and inspections are performed to ensure a high level of quality and like-new conditions.
A Cat Dealer Rebuild (CDR) gives equipment a second life through a comprehensive rebuild completed by a Cat dealer. Built to Caterpillar guidelines, CDRs help customers maximize the value of their investment while benefiting from proven performance and trusted dealer support.
EPP is also available for your select work tools for the long haul, giving you peace of mind and ensuring your investment is safeguarded beyond the Caterpillar Limited warranty period.
For eligible work tools, EPP covers defects in Caterpillar material and manufacturer workmanship for key components outside of wear and tear maintenance items.
