Midwest Caterpillar dealer Foley Equipment expanded its Kansas City location to accommodate machine rebuilds. The dealership says it surpassed its current capacity for machine rebuilds.
“One of the many great things about Cat machines is they are built to have multiple lives,” said Matt McNett, vice president of service and power solutions for Foley Equipment. “The Cat Certified Rebuild Program returns machines to like-new condition with full warranty and other benefits like upgraded electronics and features, allowing customers to maximize the value of their Cat equipment.”
“We are fortunate to have customers doing incredibly important work across the region and this facility gives us additional capacity to serve them,” said Ann Konecny, CEO of Foley Equipment.
Foley Equipment offers full machine or individual component rebuilds. During a Cat Certified machine rebuild, equipment is stripped down to the frame and all non-metal components are replaced.
Foley recently opened its 16th location in Missouri.
