Used CATERPILLAR Hoods: Quality Spare Parts

CATERPILLAR engine hoods effectively protect your machine's internal components from debris, dust, and weather conditions. Their robust design withstands the most demanding construction site environments. Made from durable materials, these hoods maintain their structural integrity even after years of heavy use.

Our expertise in reconditioning allows us to offer hoods with optimal performance. Each component undergoes a thorough inspection of hinges, seals, and opening mechanisms. The reconditioned hoods regain their original functionality while maintaining easy access to the engine compartment for routine maintenance.

Hoods by CATERPILLAR Machine Models

• Hoods for 320D and 336E hydraulic excavators have specific dimensions tailored to C6.6 and C9.3 engine compartments.
• Wheel loader models 950M and 966M require reinforced hoods to withstand significant vibrations.
• Backhoe loaders 428F and 432F feature side-opening hoods for easier access to air filters.
• Each hood model corresponds to a specific serial number ensuring compatibility with your machine.
• CAT TH414C telescopic hoods have an optimized forward tilt to improve operator visibility.
• Mini excavators 305E and 308E use lightweight composite hoods while retaining mechanical strength.

Hoods for CATERPILLAR Excavators 308E, 314C, 325F

These three CAT hydraulic excavator models feature distinct hood configurations based on tonnage and engine type. The 308E, an 8-ton mini excavator, uses a rear-hinged hood that greatly facilitates access to daily maintenance points.

The 314C, a mid-size 14-ton machine, benefits from a hydraulically assisted opening hood. This feature is especially useful when working on the cooling system or particulate filter. The 325F, a 25-ton excavator, features a reinforced hood with improved sound insulation.

Our used hoods for these models retain their original damping systems. The reinforced hinges reliably withstand repeated opening cycles. Peripheral seals maintain the necessary tightness to protect onboard electronic components, particularly on recent versions equipped with advanced diagnostic systems.

Hoods for CATERPILLAR Wheel Loaders 924H, 963K

• The 924H uses a one-piece engine hood with reinforced locking that resists vibrations during loading operations.
• The 963K hood features oversized ventilation grilles to dissipate heat generated by the C7 engine.
• These wheel loader models require hoods with enhanced thermal insulation to protect onboard electronics.
• Machine-specific hinges endure higher mechanical stresses due to bucket movements.
• Our reconditioned hoods for 924H and 963K include original CAT pneumatic opening shock absorbers.
• Compatibility is verified by chassis numbers to ensure perfect fit with engine compartments.
• These hoods resist abrasive material splashes typical in earthmoving and quarry applications.

Attachment Parts and Paint for Hoods

Attachment components form the foundation for durable assembly of any Caterpillar equipment hood. Reinforced hinges, safety pins, and pneumatic springs ensure smooth opening even after thousands of hours of use. These metal parts effectively resist thermal and mechanical stresses on construction sites.

Aesthetic restoration gives new life to worn hoods through specialized treatment processes. Complete stripping removes rust and old paint layers before applying high-performance anti-rust primer. The finish faithfully replicates original CAT colors with UV and impact-resistant polyurethane paint.

This reconditioning approach guarantees optimal corrosion protection while preserving the characteristic visual appearance of Caterpillar machines.

Caterpillar Hood Attachments: Original Systems and Fixings

• CAT cam locks provide a quick, tool-free closing system for frequent interventions.
• Stainless elastic pins prevent spontaneous loosening of hinges under intense site vibrations.
• Double-acting hydraulic dampers precisely control engine hood opening and closing speeds.
• Special O-rings maintain seal integrity on pivot points despite exposure to hydrocarbons and high temperatures.
• Sintered bronze self-lubricating bushings eliminate maintenance on rotation axes for 5000 operating hours.
• Calibrated tension springs automatically balance the hood’s weight for ergonomic handling by a single operator.
• Anti-fall systems secure the hood at maximum opening even in case of pneumatic cylinder failures.
