Extended Protection
Protect your investment – and your peace of mind.
Running a business that depends on machinery always involves risk. With a Cat® Equipment Protection Plan (EPP), you can secure that investment and keep your operations running smoothly – even when unexpected repairs occur.
A Cat Equipment Protection Plan provides coverage beyond the standard machine warranty for parts and labor. It protects you from unplanned repair costs caused by occasional defects in Cat material or workmanship.
Is an equipment protection plan just for new Cat equipment?
No. You can also add a Cat EPP to:
- Used Cat machines
- Cat Certified Used machines
- Cat Certified Rebuilds: machines, powertrains, machine components and hydraulics
- Cat work tools and attachments
- Cat dealer rebuilds
What does a Cat EPP cover and for how long?
Coverage and terms depend on your plan. There are levels of coverage to align with the way you use your equipment and your budget. Unlike some extended warranties, there’s no deductible with a Cat EPP, no matter which option you pick.
For new Cat machines, an EPP starts with powertrain coverage. It covers more than 50 components, including engine, transmission, drive train, steering, braking and electronic components. From there, you can move up to Powertrain + Hydraulics or Powertrain + Hydraulics + Technology. Premier coverage is also available for new machines and has the same coverage as Powertrain + Hydraulics + Technology, while also covering certain electrical and structural components.
Is an equipment protection plan the same as an extended warranty?
We don’t call an EPP an extended warranty, but the idea is similar. New Cat machines come with a Caterpillar Limited Warranty* that covers parts and labor costs for 12 or 24 months (or a specific number of operating hours). What happens if an issue arises after that warranty expires? If you’ve added a Cat EPP, your costs for covered components could be taken care of. Terms and conditions apply. Contact our team to learn more about covered components.
Your Benefits
Consistent quality: Certified Cat dealer technicians perform all covered repairs. They bring your machine back to correct operating specifications and use only genuine Cat parts.
Documented repair records: When it’s time to sell, you have a detailed history of any repairs completed. That can help increase your chances of getting top dollar for your equipment.
Transferable plan: In many cases, an EPP can transfer with the equipment when you sell it within the same region it was purchased. That may make your machine more attractive to buyers. Terms and conditions apply.
