Align your asset-specific fire strategy with blanket kits to suit engine groups. For example, you may specify turbo, manifold, engine pipe, and muffler blankets for Caterpillar dozers. Blanket kits are also available to replace damaged lagging.
Turbo & junction blankets for Caterpillar
Thermal blankets for turbos and junctions are a vital protective measure against extreme temperatures. In the event of a fuel leak, higher temperatures increase the fire risk. Aletek blankets are snug-fitting and have quick-fit springs to facilitate removal.
Manifold blankets for Caterpillar
As with turbos, manifolds also generate substantial heat. Insulate manifolds with Aletek’s impenetrable, multi-layer blankets to reduce surface temperatures below flashpoints. Install manifold lagging carefully to ensure a snug fit and adequate coverage.
Engine pipe blankets for Caterpillar
Engine pipe blankets provide additional protection against engine fires. We recommend lagging pipes near high-voltage lines for electric drive assets such as Cat 794 AC. You may consider exhaust system blankets for zones near fire hazards, such as grease pumps and junctions.
Muffler & tailpipe blankets for Caterpillar
Muffler and tailpipe blankets are popular additions to compact engine bays, such as those found on Cat D10T and D11T dozers. Muffler blankets may be necessary to fix radiant heat issues near a driver’s cabin. Aletek blankets are custom-made to suit each component of Caterpillar engines.
Lagging for Caterpillar Dozers
We tailor our thermal blanket packages to suit Caterpillar dozers. Our line-up covers models from Cat D6 to D11T. We offer turbo wastegate covers with our D11T lagging kits for additional fire protection.
Lagging for Caterpillar Excavators
Add Aletek blankets to your Caterpillar excavators to improve fire safety. We have engine lagging solutions for 305.5E2 Mini excavators up to 6060 hydraulic mining shovels. Our signature glove-like fit is backed by quality Australian manufacturing.
Lagging for Caterpillar Graders
Want to protect your Caterpillar motor graders from engine fires? We provide blanket kits that shield engine components such as turbos, manifolds, pipes, mufflers and tailpipes. Thermal blankets are available for Cat 140H to 160 graders and 12H to 24M graders.
Lagging for Caterpillar Haul Trucks
Creating thermal blankets for Caterpillar haul trucks is what we do best. With Aletek blankets, you can protect the entire exhaust pipe setup, including the bellows. We improve our designs through a continuous feedback loop. We offer lagging kits for Cat 725 to 797F trucks.
Lagging for Caterpillar Wheel Loaders
Aletek creates thermal insulation products for single- and dual-engine Caterpillar wheel loaders. Make sure your loaders are fireproof from manifold to muffler. We offer blanket kits for Cat 924K through to 994K models.
Other Caterpillar Assets
If it has a Caterpillar badge, there’s a good chance we can lag it. In addition to drills and compactors, we manufacture blankets for scrapers and wheel dozers. We’ve heard many success stories from maintenance crews who use our drill rig blanket kits to prevent nasty burns.

The Aletek Advantage
Our Commitment
A blanket promise of superiority
We are committed to creating superior thermal blankets. Everything from material procurement to precision sewing and final assembly must be coordinated perfectly to create the highest-quality blankets.
Design and R&D make our products better
A combination of testing and refinement has helped shape our current thermal lagging products. For example, we learned that a thinner coating could decrease the likelihood of burning. The use of thermal imaging has allowed us to detect heat concerns and optimise designs between adjoining segments.
Templates automated with CNC technology
We create thermal blankets using our highly skilled sewing and finishing teams. An automated CNC cutter precisely makes our blanket templates. Our sources suggest there is no other CNC like it in the lower half of the globe.
Final thoughts on thermal blankets
We begin the product design process with 3D scanning and end it with our experienced CAD operators. Controlled blueprints, lean methods, and quality assurance guide our production flow. We’re committed to maintaining high standards with product design and template creation.
