97% UPTIME IS NOT ENOUGHTo most people, even those in marine propulsion - 97% sounds pretty good. We are not most people. At Caterpillar Propulsion, we expect more for our propellers and for our customers that use them to drive their business safely and profitably. We believe a vessel's propulsion system can work all the time - and we're already 99% of the way there.UNIQUE DEMANDS? WE’LL DELIVER YOUR BEST SOLUTIONWe optimize performance through dialogue with you. We go the extra mile, studying the vessel’s design, the waters it travels, the job at hand – anything and everything that affects the hydrodynamics. Using all our expertise, we’re not finished until you are completely satisfied and our solution is as optimized and reliable as possible.Often that means starting from the engine output all the way to the complete propellers. Plus thrusters, gearboxes, shaft alternators and any other items your customized system needs.IF WE PUT MORE IN, YOU GET MORE OUTCaterpillar Propulsion has a simple dimensioning principle to ensure maximum uptime: we use more material. Our propellers are built to last, holding against stress and fatigue even in the most extreme conditions; with costly, unplanned stops kept to a minimum. Lighter propellers and smaller shafts would be cheaper to manufacture, but we will not pass on the far larger cost to the customer of standstills and lost revenue.BIG CHALLENGES? WE MEASURE PERFORMANCE IN MICRONSOur propellers are big, chunky and very shiny, but looking good from a distance is nothing compared to how delicately fine-tuned and calibrated they are up close. We know that it is our attention to details that boosts performance and delivers those few extra percent of uptime – from the micron of tolerance in the blades to its feathering, the stream of water and the turbulence.PERFORMANCE YOU CAN RELY ONA propulsion system is only as strong and reliable as its weakest link. That’s why Caterpillar Propulsion delivers everything from control systems to propellers and thrusters, ensuring an unbroken chain of performance and uptime. And, of course, that quality starts at our state-of-art production facilities in Sweden and Singapore.
