Salvage parts remanufacture

How are salvage forklift parts manufactured?

Salvage forklift parts are not just retrieved from the old forklifts and sold directly to the buyers. Some are remanufactured, which means after retrieval, the wearable parts are replaced by new ones regardless of whether they are still new or not, making them last longer. This is different from rebuilding in which just the worn-out parts are replaced.

Cleaning

The salvaged forklift parts will go through various cleaning processes to scrap off all grime and dirt, and expose all surfaces before testing and remanufacturing begins

Replacement

The replacement process involves the removal of all parts that can be dismantled during remanufacturing so that more durable forklift parts are produced. For instance, the engine can be dismantled and the pistons, rings, spark plugs, valves filters and valve springs are replaced with OEM forklift parts during remanufacturing.

Testing

A test run of the remanufactured part is done to ensure conformity to specifications of the OEM. This ensures the durability of the salvage part and guarantees a life span which is justifies the purchase.
