CAT REMAN EXPANDS TURBINE AIR STARTER PRODUCT LINE
Announcement & Recommended Action
Cat Reman announces the release of an additional Reman turbine air starter to provide additional coverage for engines used in OHT applications. The addition of the Reman option will give dealers another service option to offer customers who are looking for lower cost service options or need a quick off-the-shelf service solution. Parts Managers are asked to review their auto-replenish indicators on the newly released part and consider converting replenishment to the Reman part to assure ready availability for your customers.
