Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor for Caterpillar Equipment

Sanden 4487 SD7H15 A/C Compressor for Caterpillar Equipment

This complete ear-mount assembly is offered for Caterpillar aftermarket replacement programs where the 4487 reference, 24V clutch and PV8 132 mm pulley must stay together. The Sanden 4487 is an ear-mount SD7H15 heavy-duty compressor used in Caterpillar mobile A/C systems. Elecdura supplies the complete assembly with a 24V clutch, eight-groove 132 mm specified pulley and R134a compatibility. The configuration is intended for equipment distributors and service networks that need a replacement compressor, not a loose clutch or repair component.

4487 is commonly linked with Sanden 4726 and Caterpillar references 141-9676 and 218-0234. These numbers help purchasing teams consolidate inquiries from different catalogs, while the ear mount and smaller PV8 pulley distinguish the unit from direct-mount Caterpillar compressors.

Sanden 4487 Ear-Mount Compressor Specifications

Why the Ear-Mount Body Defines Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor

Many Caterpillar compressor requests arrive with a model family and voltage but no mounting description. On the 4487 configuration, the ear-mount body is a central fitment feature. Direct-mount 7H15 compressors cannot be treated as automatic alternatives, even when they use a 24V coil and eight-groove clutch.

The 132 mm pulley provides another checkpoint. Buyers should compare the original unit and belt path before confirming the order, then retain that dimension on the purchasing and warehouse records. It helps distinguish this ear-mount configuration from nearby eight-groove 7H15 assemblies.

Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor Cross References and Caterpillar Application Checks

A service document may show 141-9676, a removed compressor may carry 4487, and a distributor database may use 4726 or 218-0234. These references can lead to the same general configuration, but the final order should still state 24V, PV8, 132 mm, ear mount and GK horizontal pad. That complete description is more reliable than any one number on its own.

Caterpillar applications include wheel loaders and other construction equipment. Model lists are helpful for screening, but individual machines can differ by production period or previous repair. Confirm the machine record and original compressor before dispatch, especially when the unit has no readable label.

Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor RFQ Views for Pulley, Mounting and Ports

• The original Sanden, Caterpillar or aftermarket reference.
• The Caterpillar machine model and serial range, if available.
• A straight-on photo of the eight-groove pulley.
• A side view showing the ear-mount pattern.
• A rear view showing the GK head and both pad ports.
• A clear image of the 24V connector and wire position.

This information lets the supplier confirm the actual assembly and helps the buyer avoid return freight, workshop delay and repeated refrigerant handling.

Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor Supply for Importers and Distributors

Elecdura supports wholesale quantities, distributor stocking orders and private-label compressor programs. Neutral cartons can be labeled with the confirmed 4487/4726 cross references, while branded projects can include customer artwork and buyer item codes. Packaging details are agreed before production so the product can move directly into the importer’s stock system.

Mixed heavy-duty orders are available subject to commercial review. Each compressor configuration remains separately identified on the packing list and carton. This is especially important when 4487 ear-mount units travel with direct-mount 4301 or 4302 compressors that have similar body architecture but different installation requirements.

Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor Receiving and Service-Readiness Checks

At receiving, compare the carton and unit references, then inspect the 24V connector, PV8 132 mm pulley, ear-mount body, GK head and horizontal pad ports. Keep the ports sealed and separate any unit with freight damage or a physical configuration that differs from the purchase order.

SP15 or PAG100 with a 300 cc compressor fill reference supports identification and service planning for the 4487/4726 family. For this ear-mount version, the technician should review the Caterpillar system information and any oil retained in other components before deciding the final service charge.

Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor Commercial Terms for Ear-Mount Programs

Sanden 4487 can be planned for importer, distributor and fleet-service orders with a standard MOQ of 50–100 pcs, an indicative 7–15 day lead time after order confirmation and an 18-month warranty under agreed sales terms. Neutral packaging, OEM-label or ODM presentation and customer item codes can be reviewed for qualified programs. The ear-mount body and PV8 132 mm pulley should remain visible in the order description and receiving label.

Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor Buyer FAQ

Why is the ear-mount body the decisive feature on Sanden 4487 A/C Compressor?

The ear mount separates 4487 from direct-mount Caterpillar SD7H15 compressors that may share a 24V clutch and eight-groove pulley. Photograph the original mounting ears from the side and mounting face, then compare their number, position and orientation. The final RFQ should retain ear mount with 4487, 4726, 141-9676 and 218-0234 so the cross-reference group remains tied to one physical installation form.

How should the PV8 132 mm pulley be confirmed for the 4487 A/C Compressor?

Count all eight grooves and compare the 132 mm diameter, clutch offset and belt alignment from a square front photograph. Keep PV8, 132 mm and 4487 together on the purchasing and receiving records because another Caterpillar 7H15 compressor can use eight grooves with a different pulley or mount. A visibly similar housing should remain on a separate enquiry until the drive and installation interfaces agree.

Can one of the Caterpillar cross references replace a physical comparison for the 4487 A/C Compressor?

No. References 141-9676 and 218-0234 help a buyer locate the 4487/4726 group, but the order still needs the 24V connector, PV8 132 mm pulley, ear mount and GK horizontal pad ports to agree. Original-unit photographs and machine information let the quotation team compare the actual installation interfaces and keep a different 7H15 version on a separate enquiry.

Which views best confirm the GK head and horizontal pad connection for the 4487 A/C Compressor?

Take a square rear photograph showing both pad ports and their orientation, followed by a side view that includes the head, mounting ears and electrical lead. Keep protective caps in place while photographing a new unit. These views help technical and purchasing teams compare hose-manifold alignment without guessing from an oblique product image that hides one port or makes the head appear rotated.

How should the SP15/PAG100 300 cc reference be used for the 4487 A/C Compressor?

SP15 or PAG100 and a 300 cc compressor fill reference support identification and service planning for the 4487/4726 family; they are not an instruction to add a full charge to every system. The technician should consider oil retained elsewhere in the circuit and use the applicable Caterpillar service information. Product selection and final system oil balance are related checks, but they are not the same decision.

What information should an importer include in a 4487 A/C Compressor RFQ?

Provide the original Sanden, Caterpillar or aftermarket reference, machine model and serial range where available, quantity, destination and packaging requirements. Attach straight-on pulley, ear-mount, rear-head, port and connector photographs. Elecdura will quote the specified 24V PV8 132 mm ear-mount complete compressor and can align carton marks or private-label artwork with the confirmed reference group.
