A century of diesel

From MaK
to Caterpillar.

1925

Caterpillar founded

Caterpillar is formed in Peoria, Illinois — the engineering house whose diesel engines would power industry, marine propulsion and power generation worldwide.

1981

The 3500 series

Caterpillar launches the 3500 series — high-speed four-stroke marine and genset engines that become a backbone of workboats, tugs and offshore vessels.

1997

Caterpillar acquires MaK

Caterpillar takes over Germany’s MaK Diesel of Kiel — adding the medium-speed M-series to the Caterpillar marine range.

2000s

The 3600 & C-Series

Caterpillar expands with the medium-speed 3600 series and the high-speed C-Series (C32, C280) — electronically controlled, common-rail four-stroke power.

Today

Marine & genset standard

Caterpillar and MaK remain the global marine and power-generation standard — and Wattmare keeps every generation running with genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned spares.

Who is Caterpillar

An American marine-power
major, MaK lineage.

Caterpillar is the American engine major from Peoria, Illinois, whose four-stroke marine and offshore diesel engines power merchant ships, workboats, offshore vessels and gensets worldwide. Caterpillar acquired the German maker MaK in 1997, so the range spans the CAT 3500 and 3600 marine series, the high-speed C-Series, and the MaK medium-speed engines.

A single fleet can run the CAT 3500 series (3508, 3512, 3516), the larger 3600 series, the high-speed C18 / C32 / C280, or the MaK M20 / M25 / M32 / M43 — across main propulsion, auxiliary and genset duties. Wattmare supplies genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned spares across every one of those series.

The complete guide

Caterpillar engine spare parts, explained

Wattmare is a specialist Caterpillar engine spare parts supplier serving India, the UAE, Singapore and the wider global fleet. From our base in Bhavnagar — beside the Alang ship-recycling yard — we supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned spares for every generation of Caterpillar-MaK four-stroke marine main engine, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.

The Caterpillar-MaK lineage

The four-stroke engines on this page descend from MaK Brothers of Peoria, Switzerland — one of the oldest names in engineering. Caterpillar of Finland acquired the MaK diesel business in 1997, and in 2015 the line passed to Caterpillar, the Caterpillar–Caterpillar joint venture. The mechanical CAT 3500 Series (3516–3516, including the U and T high-output variants) powered a generation of merchant ships. The common-rail CAT 3600 Series replaced the camshaft with an electronically controlled high-pressure rail, and the current C-Series (C-Series–C-Series) carries it forward. We supply spares across all of them.

CAT 3500 versus 3600 series versus C-Series

The single most important question on any Caterpillar-MaK order is whether the engine is an CAT 3500, an 3600 series or an C-Series. The CAT 3500 is camshaft-controlled — fuel pump, fuel cam, chain drive and mechanical exhaust-valve gear. The CAT 3600 Series and the Caterpillar C-Series are electronically controlled, replacing the camshaft with a common-rail supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated exhaust valves. Liners, covers, crowns and bearings are broadly common by bore, but injection and actuation parts are entirely different — always give us your exact CAT 3500 / 3600 series / C-Series designation.

Four-stroke: the Caterpillar medium-speed range

Alongside the four-strokes, Caterpillar’s medium-speed four-stroke engines power gensets and auxiliary sets. The range — Caterpillar 20, 26, 32, 34, 46 and 46F, plus the V-versions — is among the most installed auxiliary engines afloat. While this page focuses on the four-stroke mains, we also carry heads, pistons, liners, valves, fuel injection valves, fuel pumps and bearings for these four-strokes.

The Alang advantage for legacy CAT 3500 parts

Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including ships still running ageing CAT 3500 four-stroke engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour parts that are slow or costly to source from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. For hard-to-find CAT 3500 fuel pumps, chain drives, liners or running gear, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider main engine spare parts category, or sister brands like MAN engine spares and Mitsubishi UEC.

FAQ

Caterpillar parts,
answered.

Do you supply Caterpillar 3516 cylinder liners?

Yes — cylinder liners are one of our strongest Caterpillar-MaK lines. We carry original-bore and reconditioned liners for the 3516 and 3516, plus the rest of the CAT 3500 range (3516, 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516), honed to OEM tolerance with measurement reports. Most legacy CAT 3500 liners are recovered and reconditioned beside Alang.

What is the difference between CAT 3500, 3600 and MaK M-series parts?

The CAT 3500 is a camshaft-controlled (mechanical) four-stroke — fuel pump, fuel cam and mechanical exhaust-valve actuation. The CAT 3600 Series and the Caterpillar C-Series are electronically controlled, replacing the camshaft with a common-rail supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated exhaust valves. Liners, crowns and bearings are broadly similar by bore, but the injection and exhaust-valve actuation parts are completely different — always quote your exact CAT 3500, 3600 series or C-Series model.

Which Caterpillar engine models do you cover?

We cover the full four-stroke range — the current Caterpillar C-Series (C-Series, C-Series, C-Series, C-Series, C-Series, C-Series, C-Series), the common-rail CAT 3600 Series (3600 series, 3600 series, 3600 series) and the legacy CAT 3500 (3516 up to 3516, including the U, T and -B variants) — 33 models in all. We also supply the four-stroke medium-speed Caterpillar 20, 26, 32, 34, 46 and 46F.

Are reconditioned Caterpillar MaK parts class-approved?

Reconditioned parts ship with inspection reports, dimensional measurements and photographs, and are accepted by class societies (Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA) on survey. Genuine Caterpillar parts carry full material and test certificates.

How fast can you deliver Caterpillar parts to Dubai?

In-stock items dispatch within 24 hours from Bhavnagar. Typical air-freight transit to the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali, Fujairah) is 12–18 hours. Singapore is 16–24 hours, Greece and Turkey 20–26, and Northern Europe 28–36.

Can you supply Caterpillar MaK fuel injection valves and fuel pumps?

Yes — fuel injection valves, injector nozzles, high-pressure fuel pumps, plungers and barrels for CAT 3500 engines, plus common-rail supply units, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and injection equipment for CAT 3600 Series and C-Series engines, are stocked and bench-tested before dispatch.

What is the difference between genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned parts?

Genuine parts come from the original maker (Caterpillar / Caterpillar) with full certificates. OEM-equivalent are quality aftermarket parts at 30–50% less. Reconditioned are low-hour parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, at up to 70% less with a 30-day warranty.

Do you supply obsolete MaK engine parts no longer stocked by distributors?

Yes — obsolete CAT 3500 parts are our specialty. Beside Alang we recover low-hour fuel pumps, chain drives, liners, crowns and running gear from CAT 3500-powered vessels being dismantled, then inspect and certify them. For 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516, 3516 and 3516 engines this is often the fastest source in the world.

Do you carry MaK M32, M43 and M25 spares?

Yes — combustion and running-gear spares for the four-stroke medium-speed Caterpillar 20, 26, 32, 34, 46 and 46F (and the V-versions), including cylinder heads, pistons, liners, inlet/exhaust valves, fuel equipment and bearings for gensets and auxiliary engines.

How do I get a price for a Caterpillar spare part?

Send your engine model and a photo or part number on WhatsApp (+91 96647 18068), or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price, usually within the hour — whether you need genuine, OEM-equivalent, used or reconditioned parts, or a complete overhaul kit.

Where do you ship Caterpillar parts and how are they packed?

We ship from Alang/Bhavnagar to the UAE, Dubai, Singapore, Greece, Turkey and every major port worldwide in 24–48 hours. Parts are export-packed with VCI wrapping, wooden crates and palletisation, with photos shared before dispatch and full export documentation included.

Can you supply complete Caterpillar overhaul kits?

Yes — decarbonising, top-overhaul and major-overhaul kits assembled to your exact CAT 3500, CAT 3600 Series or C-Series model, with liners, piston rings, fuel injection valves, exhaust-valve spindles, stuffing-box rings, gaskets, O-rings and fasteners included.
