Get The Job Done
With GET, you get greater productivity, better fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs.
By Caterpillar | Posted: February 07, 2022
As you would expect with Caterpillar, we have taken our mix fleet GET to a new level with Cat® Advansys™. This system is the highest standard in hammerless ground engaging tools, which comes in 11 different sizes that cover a wide range of different machines. And are built specifically for demanding production applications meaning you can move more material with less machine downtime.
Another key feature of this system is the simplified installation that has been designed to ensure the adapters can utilize the same fittings as the K series. This makes them quick to install and easy to remove and so helps to optimize the performance of hydraulic excavators and wheel loaders even further.
Benjamin Reminiac, Caterpillar GET product expert, explains more. “The Cat Advansys system offers exclusive performance features such as tapered tip sides, which offer less drag and so, higher productivity. In comparison, the stronger adapter noses offer an impressive 50% stress reduction over the earlier series. And of course, the retainer lock, which requires no special tools, allows for quick and easy, hammerless tip removal and installation.”
To get an on the ground view of the Cat GET mix fleet, we spoke to Laurent Lucand, Wear specialist for Bergerat Monnoyeur France, a dealer who had considerable success with the Cat GET. “We have a really good product and offer a great service supported by real expertise. All of which makes our customers’ lives easier.”
One of those clients is ‘Carriere de Chailloué’, who operate the Chailloué site in the northwest of France. Created in 1991, the site has a maximum capacity estimated at 2.5 million tonnes a year, with current production at around 1.9 million tonnes. The equipment manager Laurent Hallie, “A few years ago, we decided to replace our previous system, the K series, with the Cat Advansys system, which had just been launched in France. Within the industry it generated a lot of interest. Here was a brand-new system being put to the test in one of France’s best-known quarries.”
Of course, being Caterpillar rising to the challenge and delivering is what we do best. And the demands of the Chailloué site was no different.
We have a lon relationship with Bergerat Monnoyeur, and over the years, a real trust developed,” adds Constance Berard, production manager, Carriere de Chailloué.“Their aftersales team are always available and often on site. I would say there’s a real synergy between our team and theirs.”
Something Laurent also acknowledges. “we pride ourselves on being experts in our fields, so we are always there with advice for our clients. It’s part of what makes Caterpillar so special.”
