Used Caterpillar Air Filters in Sonora, Mexico

Overview

Air filters for crawler loaders protect the engine and intake system from dust, dirt, and abrasive particles common on construction and earthmoving sites. They come as panel, cartridge, cylindrical or foam types and use paper, synthetic or multi-layer media. Choosing the right filter for your loader model and working conditions improves engine life, power and fuel efficiency while reducing downtime and costly repairs.

FAQ

How do I choose the correct air filter for my crawler loader?

Match the OEM part number or loader model/year, confirm filter type (cartridge, panel, foam) and filtration rating, and consider your site conditions (high-dust vs clean).

Should I buy OEM or aftermarket filters?

OEM gives guaranteed fit and specs; quality aftermarket filters can be cost-effective but verify filtration efficiency, build quality and warranty before buying.

How should I ship air filters to avoid damage?

Ship in original or padded packaging, seal to prevent moisture and crushing, use palletization for bulk orders, and choose a carrier with tracking and insurance.

How often should I inspect, clean or replace the air filter?

Follow the loader manufacturer’s hours-based schedule, inspect more often in dusty conditions, clean only reusable types, and replace paper/disposable filters when clogged or per interval.
