Rebuilt Loaders Cut Production Costs: Extend wheel loader life with remanufactured components

摘要

The current economy, coupled with the increased price of Tier 4 technology, has many considering the feasibility of refurbishing their wheel loaders rather than replacing them. "Rebuilding a wheel loader vs. buying a new unit may well be the best answer at this time," says Bill Metzgar, service trainer, Hyundai Construction Equipment. "As more manufacturers develop stronger reman programs, along with offering warranty on the products, contractors tend to look more closely at rebuilding wheel loaders vs. replacing due to the savings rebuilding a unit may afford them."
