Revolutionising GET Storage: WesTrac’s Cradle Storage Solution

If you’ve ever dealt with Ground Engaging Tools (GET) scattered across damaged wooden pallets, you know the frustration. Not only is it messy, but it’s also unsafe and inefficient. That’s why WesTrac has developed a smarter way to store and transport GET kits. Introducing our custom-built cradle storage solution.

Why traditional storage doesn’t cut it

Wooden pallets might be the go-to for many sites, but they’re prone to damage and don’t offer the protection Ground Engaging Tools (GET) components need. GET are heavy, valuable, and essential to your operations. When they’re not stored properly, you risk premature wear, safety hazards, and lost productivity.

A smarter, safer alternative

WesTrac’s cradle storage kits are designed to solve these problems. Engineered in-house and built to last, our GET storage solutions for your Cat® or mixed fleet machines offer the following benefits:

  • Durability and rotability – built tough for repeated use
  • Dustproof and waterproof protection – keeps components clean and dry
  • Ergonomic and sustainable design – safe handling and reduced waste

Each cradle is custom built to fit specific GET components and includes a waterproof hardware box for bolts, nuts, and washers. Plus, every unit is certified to AS/NZS 1170.0 and AS4100 standards by a third-party engineer. WesTrac also offers wear reports for used GET if customers return worn edges to their local branch on the empty stand.

Built-to-order and ready to rotate

Our cradle kits aren’t just built to store; they’re built to move. Once GET components are used, the empty cradle is returned to your local WesTrac branch for replenishment. The rotable cradle storage kits are built to suit different Cat machinery types including:

  • Cat 16, 18 and 24 Motor Graders
  • Cat R1700, R2900 & R3000 Underground Loader
  • Cat D10 and D11 Dozers (full and turn kits)

And yes, Caterpillar® GET may include user-friendly lifting links compatible with all components, making handling even easier and safer.

Track your cradles anywhere

Worried about losing track of your kits? We’ve got that covered too. WesTrac offers GPS tracking on cradle storage kits, so you always know where your assets are, whether they’re on-site, in transit, or at a branch.
