Introduction
This Guideline enables dealers and their customers to benefit from cost reductions made possible through an established parts reusability and salvage program.

Since the Company makes ongoing changes and improvements to its products, this Guideline must be used with the latest technical information available from Caterpillar to ensure such changes and improvements are incorporated where applicable.

Summary
The following pages contain visual examples of dealer manufactured products used to improve efficiency of specialization shops. These racks are currently being used by dealers to clean, inspect, and store engine components.
Caterpillar does not recommend any one design, but each design should be compatible with the methods and cleaning equipment available at the dealership.
When designing any engine component rack, remember to consider damage to the parts as one of the most important factors. Racks that allow parts to come into contact with each other may cause significant part damage.
Note: Inspect racks, lifting devices, and all other related equipment for damage and repair per manufacturer?s recommendations before use.
