Elecdurauto Caterpillar Starter Motors – Frequently Asked Questions
What are Elecdurauto Caterpillar starter motors?
Elecdurauto Caterpillar starter motors are premium OE-specification replacements designed for the full range of Cat® earthmoving, construction, mining, marine, and power-generation equipment.
They deliver exceptional torque and reliability in extreme temperatures, high-vibration environments, and continuous-duty cycles typical of heavy equipment worldwide.
Why choose Elecdurauto over genuine Cat® or remanufactured starters?
Elecdurauto starters meet or exceed Caterpillar engineering standards while offering 35–55 % cost savings compared to new Cat® dealer parts.
Contractors, rental fleets, and mining companies benefit from shorter lead times, no core return requirements on most models, superior warranty terms, and batch-tested quality that reduces unplanned downtime.
Are they genuine Caterpillar parts?
No – they are high-performance aftermarket replacements built in ISO/TS 16949-certified facilities using the same materials and processes as original Cat® starters, ensuring perfect fit and performance.
Which Caterpillar machines and engines are covered?
Our range supports virtually all popular Cat® equipment including D6–D11 dozers, 320–390 excavators, 966–992 wheel loaders, 777–797 mining trucks, articulated trucks, motor graders, C9–C32 engines, and 3500-series generator sets.
Common replaced part numbers: 207-1556, 338-3454, 0R5217, 10R-0398, 6V-0890 and 200+ more – full cross-reference available.
What voltage and power ratings are available?
Elecdurauto supplies Caterpillar starters in:
• 24 V standard-duty: 4.5 kW – 9.0 kW (most construction machines)
• 24 V / 32 V heavy-duty: 10 kW – 12 kW (large mining trucks & marine)
• Air-start and hydraulic-start options for select engines
Are Elecdurauto starters direct drop-in replacements?
Yes – every starter matches original Caterpillar mounting flange (SAE 1, SAE 3), nose cone dimensions, solenoid position, and electrical terminals.
No wiring modifications or adapter plates are required, and detailed torque specifications are provided for professional installation.
What design features ensure durability in harsh environments?
All units feature sealed heavy-duty solenoids, high-temperature bearings, corrosion-resistant coatings, wet-clutch protection, and reinforced planetary gear trains.
Advanced thermal overload protection and dust-proof nose cones provide exceptional performance in quarry, mining, desert, and arctic conditions.
How do they perform in extreme cold starts?
Tested to deliver full torque down to –40 °C, Elecdurauto Caterpillar starters ensure reliable first-turnover even with thick cold oil in C27/C32 and 3500-series engines.
What is the typical service life in heavy equipment applications?
In severe mining and construction duty cycles, our starters routinely exceed 15,000 start cycles or 20,000 engine hours between replacements.
Major global contractors report MTBF more than double that of many remanufactured units.
What warranty does Elecdurauto offer B2B customers?
We provide a standard 18-month / unlimited-hour warranty for registered contractors, rental fleets, dealers, and mining operations.
Optional 24-month extended coverage and rapid-exchange programs are available at no extra cost for volume customers.
