Finning launches new C9.3B power pack, bolstering training capabilities and offerings in the industrial sector
Finning UK & Ireland, the world's largest dealer of Cat® power solutions, has launched its new C9.3B power pack, which is a bespoke drop-in power unit designed to enhance training capabilities and support machinery in the industrial sector. Developed for the Finning training department in Cannock, UK, this new power pack is a standalone solution which will be used primarily for training purposes.
The C9.3B power pack is the latest addition to the company’s range of flexible, configurable solutions that can be installed into machines. This new unit has been specifically designed to support comprehensive training programmes, which cater to internal Finning teams, apprentices, customers and Caterpillar personnel, as well as Caterpillar dealers from across the EMEA region. The training department can also use the power pack to connect an engine to their dyno, hydraulic pumps or an alternator to create load to test the engine and/or another system.
“Our new C9.3B power pack represents further progress in our ability to provide hands-on, practical training for the industrial sector. By developing this unit in-house, we're not only showcasing our engineering capabilities but also ensuring that our training programmes remain at the forefront of industry standards”.
Steffen Barrett, Sales Manager, Industrial Engines, at Finning UK & Ireland
The power pack’s versatile design makes it an ideal tool for training purposes, allowing technicians and operators to gain valuable experience with a system that closely mirrors real-world applications. Its adaptability also makes it particularly well-suited for low-volume applications in various industrial settings.
“What sets this power pack apart is its dual purpose,” Steffen added. “While it serves as an excellent training tool, it’s also a fully functional unit that can be integrated into a wide range of industrial machinery.”
The training department at the Cannock facility plays a crucial role in developing the skills and expertise needed to operate and maintain advanced machinery efficiently. The introduction of the C9.3B power pack enhances these capabilities, allowing for more comprehensive and hands-on training experiences.
“By investing in our training infrastructure and developing specialised equipment like the C9.3B power pack, we’re not just improving our own capabilities,” Steffen continued. “We’re also ensuring that our customers have access to the most knowledgeable and well-trained technicians in the industry, ultimately helping them to maximise uptime and reduce operating costs.”
The C9.3B power pack is now available and is being integrated into training programmes at the Finning Cannock facility.
