Engines are a major part of what makes heavy equipment run. If they aren’t taken care of or are damaged the entire machine is put in jeopardy. Like every piece of equipment though, engines won’t last forever. But what do you do when an engine stops working? Buying a new engine is expensive, but buying a used one is risky. You could try to just replace the parts that aren’t working, but if the new parts aren’t specifically designed to work with the remaining old ones you risk serious damage to your entire engine. The parts won’t work together as smoothly, resulting in loss of power and performance.
This is where engine remanufacturing comes in. Through the process of disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, repairing or replacing parts, and reassembling, you can return your engine to a like new state. And there are plenty more benefits to the engine remanufacturing process.
Save Money
Replacing the entire engine, or even just parts of it, can be expensive. But it can often feel like you have no other choice if you want to ensure you’re getting a high-quality product. This is not the case with engine remanufacturing.
Don’t waste your resources purchasing and then waiting for a new engine that could take ages to arrive. Find the parts of the engine giving you trouble and hire someone to repair and restore them to their former glory. This won’t only be cheaper, but it will also take less time. Just because you are saving money doesn’t mean you’re compromising on quality. Remanufactured engines fit your equipment’s exact specifications and are built with the latest update so you don’t have to worry about it breaking down anytime soon like you would with a used engine.
Reduce Downtime
Remanufacturing engines also saves you time with its relatively quick process. Any time your piece of equipment isn’t working costs you money. You already have to pay to get the equipment fixed or replaced, but you will lose even more money during this downtime. This isn’t helped by the fact that buying new parts or a new engine takes time while you wait for the product to be in stock or to be delivered. The remanufacturing vendor on the other hand already has the part to work with and restoring or repairing will can take less time. After the part is ready it can quickly be reinstalled, and your machine can get back to work.
Improve Quality of Engine
You need all of your equipment to work the best it can so you can work the best you can. Remanufacturing your engine also means giving it an upgrade so it’s up to par with modern models. This way you can get the benefits of a brand-new engine without spending all of your money. This won’t just improve how your equipment operates though; it will also prolong your engine’s life cycle. Engine remanufacturing makes the old product like new, giving you more time before you need to buy a new one.
Keep the Engine’s Warranty
Not only does engine remanufacturing prolong your product’s life cycle, but it also prolongs your product’s warranty. Since you are restoring your engine to match present specifications instead of replacing non-functional parts, your warranty stays intact. Now if you decide to replace a part or two instead, you will have to ensure the parts and replacement are covered under your warranty. If you try to do the replacement and don’t get a quality part, you will be on the hook for all the expenses.
Make Your Engine Environmentally Sustainable
Replacing engines, or even engine parts, means there are components that are discarded and will end up in a landfill. With eco-friendly practices becoming necessary it is more important now than ever to consider how harmful this is to the environment. Throwing away used parts and using new ones adds to your carbon footprint and even costs money as you have to pay to dispose of these pieces of heavy equipment.
On the other hand, remanufacturing engines can greatly reduce your carbon emissions as it recycles and upgrades your present components. This not only prevents more parts ending up in landfills but also helps conserve the raw materials that are becoming scarcer and more expensive every day. Remanufacturing uses 60% less energy than what’s required to make new products, according to the Environmental Impact Assessment Review. Not only does the remanufacturing process save you time and money, but it also helps save the planet.
