When it comes to replacing hydraulic parts on your heavy equipment, you may be unsure whether to go with genuine or aftermarket parts. For example, should genuine travel motors and main pumps be used, or would cheaper aftermarket components suffice? We've compiled 3 important reasons why genuine parts are preferable for your heavy equipment.
a. Quicker and easier to replace.
Repairs and replacements take less time and involve fewer steps when using genuine components since they always fit and don't need any "finishing touches." As a result, the repair process is quicker and easier and no frustration at all.
b. Genuine parts rarely malfunction & last long time:
Since you have the same parts as it's installed on your equipment originally, those Genuine components are durable and seldom malfunction, which makes testing and adjustment operations safer and minimizes the possibility of having to reopen renovated units.
c. Aftermarket parts' quality varies which is hard to differentiate for non-expert.
There are numerous companies that sell spare parts for almost any existing brand, with the quality ranging from superb to completely unacceptable. Some aftermarket spare parts using hydraulic components even originate from the same factories that supply the genuine components and are therefore of similar quality, we called it OEM. In many cases, however, aftermarket hydraulic parts originate from random market manufacturers and their quality can vary from poor to excellent.
Likewise, the fact that you receive a batch of excellent quality spares from a manufacturer or reseller one time does not guarantee that you will always get the same quality in the next batches.
The only and last disadvantage of using genuine parts is their astonishing high prices.
However, going ahead with hydraulic replacement parts using aftermarket or non-genuine parts without careful consideration of all the issues involved can be a costly mistake. Ultimately, as a buyer, you need to make an informed decision based on the amount of money the parts will save you if they live up to expectations, versus what it will cost you if they don't. If you save $500 now buying an aftermarket part that breaks down 50% earlier, how much will the downtime cost you in productivity while awaiting new parts and repairs?
So the question is: genuine parts are too much expensive while aftermarket parts are hard to differentiate, seem stuck in limbo?
