en.Wedoany.com Reported - Finning UK & Ireland is investing over £200,000 in advanced Caterpillar engine testing technology. Cat equipment dealer Finning is upgrading dynamometer engine testing solutions across its network as part of an improvement initiative aimed at expanding the range of engineering support available to customers.
The latest test cell development at the company's Cannock headquarters in Staffordshire, UK, includes a high-power dynamometer worth £160,000, used to verify the build quality, strength, and power of engines overhauled in Finning's Component Rebuild Centre division.
Finning specializes in Cat equipment, offering new and used equipment, repair, replacement, and rebuild options, as well as a wide range of aftermarket and support services. This includes providing technical support for customers using Cat's self-service repair options. As part of this service, professional-grade dynamometer engine testing equipment is available to ensure engines rebuilt by customers themselves are safe and operational.
Dave Carter, Rebuild, Repair & Response Manager at Finning UK & Ireland, said: "Dynamometer testing can optimize engine performance, ensuring the most efficient settings are used for better fuel economy, while collecting critical data on power, torque, and force. Dynamometer testing is also a diagnostic tool, helping to fine-tune engines by providing key insights into reliability and how the engine meets specifications. Our quality control standards are extremely high. Maximizing equipment uptime, extending equipment life and performance are at the heart of the services we provide."
Dynamometer testing is conducted in a controlled environment to verify engine performance. It ensures the equipment can withstand real-world applications and operate safely under maximum load. The equipment installed in Cannock is part of a new Rebuild Centre of Excellence workshop currently under construction, designed to meet the growing demand for machine rebuilds and major overhauls. This investment in the 1,230-square-metre unit comes as more customers are opting for Cat Certified Rebuild services under Finning's 'Rebuild and Ready' programme, enabling customers to immediately access fully rebuilt Cat machines that perform like new.
