Cost Effective Rebuild
One that sticks in my mind was a Caterpillar waste compactor that was in the process of being rebuilt during a visit to the Leeds branch of Finning UK & Ireland back in 2018. It was incredible to see the attention to detail during these Certified Rebuild procedures and the quality of the finish really is a sight to see.

Well, the team at Leeds have been involved in another project more recently with a Certified Powertrain and Hydraulic rebuild of a Cat 988K wheeled loading shovel that has put in a lot of hard work for Finning customer British Steel having amassed around 17,000 hours on the meter during its first working life from new.
Finning have produced a short video that tells the story on why British Steel decided to opt for a Certified Rebuild programme, and documents the work that was done with timelapse footage, a fantastic video which you can checkout below.
