Repromanuals.com offers one of the largest selections of construction and agricultural equipment manuals available on the internet. We maintain the largest collection of OEM (original equipment manuals) in the world (more than 15,000)! These are now being made available to equipment owners by making deluxe copies in their world-wide headquarters. Many of the manuals are custom printed for you when ordered.

Two broad classes of material are offered by Repromanuals.com, namely, reproductions of original caterpillar equipment manuals, and original caterpillar equipment manuals, i.e., titles of others, which we purchase from the OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturers) via their authorized distributors and pass on to you our customers. In connection to our content, we strive to locate, secure and clear the titles we make available to you directly as reproductions.

As to the former, namely our reproduction titles, we do offer copies of public domain content, more particularly, titles published prior to 1989 and without copyright notice. For decades, an outstanding feature distinguishing United States copyright law from that of the rest of the world has been an emphasis on formalities, among other things a requirement that the public be given formal notice of every work in which copyright is claimed. This facet of the law has origins in the original Copyright Act of 1790, and has remained in the successive Act revisions of 1831, 1870, 1909, 1976 (effective 1978). Many of the formalities under the 1909 and 1976 Acts have been lifted with the accession of the United States to the Berne Convention, via passage of the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988.

Before 1978, federal copyright was generally secured by the act of publication with notice of copyright, assuming compliance with all other statutory conditions. United States works in the public domain on January 1, 1978 remained in the public domain under the 1976 Copyright Act. As of March 1, 1989, the effective date of the Berne Convention Implementation Act, copyright notice, among other things, was prospectively eliminated as a condition to copyright protection. However, where a copyright notice is required, essentially for all published Pre-Berne content, and its omission is not excused, the legal consequence is to inject the work into the public domain.

In connection to our business, namely the offering of manuals, we by necessity make use of trademarks and/or trade dress of others to describe our goods. In doing so, no representation of affiliation, association or the like is intended.
