Caterpiller hour meter readings for several machines on a specific date

What can I do to verify the working hours on a used Caterpillar machine?

Verifying the working hours on a used Caterpillar machine is important to assess its overall condition and determine its resale value. Here are several steps you can take to check the machine’s working hours:

What is an Hour Meter, a so-called SMU:

  • Most Caterpillar machines come equipped with an hour meter that records the total operating hours of the equipment. Locate the hour meter on the machine’s dashboard or control panel.
  • Check for any signs of tampering or manipulation around the hour meter. Look for broken seals or unusual wear that might indicate attempts to reset or alter the readings.

Check Service Records with the seller or previous owner:

  • Request service and maintenance records from the previous owner or dealer. These records often include information on the machine’s working hours at the time of each service.
  • Look for inconsistencies or gaps in the service records that could indicate potential issues with the machine’s history.

Caterpillar Electronic Technician (CAT ET):

  • Caterpillar provides a diagnostic tool called Caterpillar Electronic Technician (CAT ET). If you have access to this software and the necessary cables, you may be able to connect to the machine’s electronic control module (ECM) to retrieve detailed information, including working hours.
  • Keep in mind that using CAT ET may require technical expertise, and it’s usually done by professionals or authorized technicians.

Physical Inspection:

  • Examine the overall condition of the machine, including wear on components like the seat, pedals, and controls. Excessive wear may be indicative of higher usage.
  • Check for signs of heavy use or abuse, such as worn-out undercarriage components, hydraulic leaks, or excessive play in critical components.

Consult your local Caterpillar Dealer:

  • Contact a Caterpillar dealer with the machine’s serial number. They may be able to provide information about the machine’s history, including working hours, if it has been serviced or repaired by Caterpillar dealerships.

Third-Party Inspections:

  • Consider hiring a third-party inspection service such as MEVAS to assess the machine’s overall condition and verify working hours. These professionals can provide an unbiased evaluation of the equipment. We provide TA1 and TA2 inspections.

Remember that working hours are just one aspect of a machine’s condition. A comprehensive MEVAS inspection, along with a review of maintenance records and other relevant information, will give you a more accurate picture of the machine’s history and condition. If you’re unsure, consulting with Caterpillar dealers or professionals with expertise in used heavy equipment can be beneficial.
