Earthmoving parts are the parts used to service and repair machines like excavators, wheel loaders, graders, tracked loaders and other machines working in the construction industry. There are many aftermarket and genuine parts available in either new or used condition that work to keep earthmoving equipment running smoothly.
Just some common parts include, brake systems, transmissions, tracked rubber, gear boxes, air filters, final drive systems, hydraulic valves, tyres and pumps.
If you're looking for earthmoving parts, it's always important to check the condition and compatibility of the part with your machine before purchase. Some used equipment will come reconditioned, meaning that all components have been dismantled, cleaned, checked for safety and repaired to original condition. These reconditioned parts are often cheaper than new parts, and they work just as well, so they are a great option if you're on a budget. Just make sure you ask your dealer or seller about the service history of the part to ensure it has been properly reconditioned and tested before sale.
On the other hand, if you are buying new it's important to check that it's either a genuine part or if it's aftermarket, that it's actually compatible with your machine. Some new parts may not work with older model machines, so it's always best to check with the dealer about which models are compatible. Of course, there are many benefits to buying new parts over used parts, like the inclusion of warranty in some cases, but they do tend to come at a higher price than used earthmoving parts.
Having quality earthmoving parts on hand will ensure that your fleet is never out of action for very long. Most commonly, it's recommended to keep spare undercarriage, power train and final drive systems. Other popular parts include transmissions, hydraulic systems and suspension systems. With equipment that is being used on a daily basis for heavy work it may be best to keep spare earthmoving parts for these areas of the machine to ensure a quick replacement and minimal downtime.
As with anything, the earthmoving parts you choose to purchase will depend on the make, model and condition of your machine. Costs for new and used earthmoving parts can vary from $500 through to $75,000 depending on what you require. The good news is there are a wide variety of choices on the market, so make sure you do your research and speak to local dealers in your area before deciding on a purchase.
