What Is a Cat® TA Inspection?
A TA Inspection is a comprehensive health check for your heavy equipment. Our certified technicians perform a thorough, structured diagnostic assessment. They follow a detailed checklist that covers every critical component of the machine.
Our advanced technology and trained technicians enable us to perform TA inspections quickly and easily, in the shop or in the field. This thorough approach ensures we catch potential issues early, helping to prevent unexpected breakdowns and guiding maintenance decisions.
Choose Your Inspection
We offer two service levels to meet different needs. TA-1 is our thorough, walk-around visual assessment. TA-2 is an in-depth, diagnostic evaluation.
TA-1: Visual Inspection
TA-1 inspections are visual assessments ideal for routine checkups and catching warning signs early. They cover the following:
- Structural checks: Our technicians check for visible wear and tear or irregularities.
- Component inspection: We identify broken, loose or missing parts that may affect functionality.
- Fluid analysis: Our technicians assess fluid levels, colors and conditions to ensure they’re up to spec.
- Noise detection: We check for unusual noises during operation that may indicate mechanical issues.
- Leak inspection: Our team evaluates seals to detect potential fluid leaks.
TA-2: Comprehensive System Analysis
The TA-2 inspection includes everything in TA-1 plus a deep diagnostic analysis. Our technicians evaluate your machine’s critical systems to ensure peak performance and safety. This report provides a complete, data-driven picture of machine health. In-depth inspections include:
- Safety feature verification: We inspect the equipment’s safety system to ensure compliance with life cycle standards.
- Diagnostic testing: Our team identifies fault codes and electronic system issues.
- Engine and system analysis: We use S·O·S℠ fluid samples and pressure readings to evaluate engine performance, transmissions and pumps.
- Component examination: Our technicians conduct detailed checks on implements, undercarriage, tires, tracks and frame components.
- Performance assessment: We measure cycle times, cylinder drift and overall operational efficiency.
