What Are Rebuilt Forklift Parts?
Main assemblies consist of multiple components, and if one part breaks, it can cause the entire assembly to fail and shut down your forklift. During a rebuild, the assembly is disassembled to identify the worn or damaged piece, which is then replaced. The entire unit is cleaned and reassembled, ready for resale.
How Trustworthy Is The Forklift Parts Source?
Since different suppliers follow varying standards, it's important to ask how the forklift part was rebuilt to build trust with the supplier. Some sources may only replace the failed component, while others provide fully remanufactured parts. A remanufactured part not only replaces the failed piece but also addresses any normal wear items. It's helpful to know if the part is built to the Original Equipment (OE) specifications and whether it was sourced from a new unit or a salvaged one.
What If The Rebuilt Forklift Part Fails?
Like new parts, forklift rebuilt parts should be backed by the supplier’s warranty. Your supplier should also be aware of the sources’ overall reputation and parts failure rate.
Can You Help My Older Forklift?
Based on the unit’s age and hours, the supplier can advise if a rebuilt forklift part will be durable for your application. A light to average application lends itself to rebuilding your forklift’s part when finding a replacement isn’t an option.
How Will My Company Benefit?
In the short term, you can save up to 50% on replacement parts by opting for rebuilt components. If the supplier can source a rebuilt part rather than using the original from your forklift, the downtime of the unit will be reduced. Additionally, using rebuilt parts benefits the environment by reducing the need for new part production.
