Application Scenarios & Case Studies
Caterpillar equipment utilizing C7 and 3126 engines are workhorses in diverse industries, demanding reliable engine performance. The 200-4497 oil pump is crucial in these demanding environments:
Construction Sites: Motor graders and excavators equipped with these engines are constantly subjected to heavy loads and varying temperatures. A functional oil pump ensures continuous lubrication, preventing engine overheating and wear during long operating hours on road construction, site preparation, and trenching projects. Case Study Snippet: A construction company experienced frequent engine issues with an older grader. Replacing the worn oil pump with a new 200-4497 unit restored proper oil pressure, significantly reducing engine temperature and preventing further internal damage, extending the equipment's service life on a major highway project.
Mining Operations: Wheel loaders and dozers in mining environments face extreme dust, dirt, and continuous heavy-duty cycles. Reliable oil circulation is vital to protect engine components from abrasion and heat build-up. The 200-4497 pump's robust design supports the engine's need for consistent lubrication in these harsh conditions.
Agricultural Applications: Tractors and other farm equipment using C7 engines operate in dusty fields and often for extended periods during planting or harvesting seasons. Maintaining proper engine lubrication is key to preventing breakdowns during critical times.
Marine Industry: C7 and 3126 marine engines require highly reliable oil pumps for continuous operation in varying sea conditions. The 200-4497 ensures the engine remains properly lubricated even under heavy loads and prolonged use on fishing vessels, workboats, and yachts.
