Volvo Construction Equipment is offering quarries an affordable, reliable and sustainable alternative to buying new machinery.
When equipment reaches the end of its initial service life, businesses are often faced with a difficult decision: should they purchase new machinery, or is there a more cost-effective, yet reliable, option? Volvo Construction Equipment’s (Volvo CE) Volvo certified rebuilds offer a solution that combines the best of both worlds.
Volvo certified rebuilds are a comprehensive process designed to restore Volvo equipment to near to original condition, using only genuine Volvo parts and certified technicians. The rebuild process involves a thorough inspection, disassembly, replacement of worn parts, and reassembly to ensure that the machine meets the same high standards as when it was first manufactured.
The result is equipment that performs like new at a fraction of the cost of buying brand-new machinery. The certified rebuilds allow quarries to get maximum value from existing machines by extending their lifespan.
The benefits
One of the most significant advantages of Volvo certified rebuilds is the cost savings. New equipment can be a major investment, especially for larger machines like excavators, wheel loaders, and articulated haulers. The certified rebuilds provide a more affordable alternative, offering the performance and longevity of a new machine at a fraction of the cost.
Volvo certified rebuilds restore equipment to near-new condition, significantly extending its operational life. The rebuild process involves replacing worn components, such as the engine, transmission, hydraulics, and structural parts, ensuring the machine runs smoothly for many years. This is especially beneficial for businesses that want to maximise their initial equipment investment return. After a Volvo certified rebuild, the machine will perform just like it did when it was first delivered. With the replacement of major components and thorough inspection, rebuilt machines offer improved efficiency, reliability, and productivity. Quarries will be able to operate with peace of mind, knowing that the equipment will meet demands, day in and day out, without compromising performance.
It also offers sustainability benefits, as Volvo certified rebuilds minimise waste.
By breathing new life into existing equipment, the program significantly reduces the environmental footprint created by manufacturing new machines. This approach champions a circular economy, maximising resource efficiency and extending the useful life of valuable assets.
One of the major advantages of opting for a Volvo certified rebuild is the warranty. When customers invest in a certified rebuild, they receive a warranty that covers the parts and labour used during the process. The process also includes customisable packages that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of equipment. Volvo CE works with customers to design a solution that fits their requirements and budget. Customers can choose the scope of the rebuild, focusing on the areas that need the most attention or opt for a full restoration to maximise the machine’s lifespan.
When should you rebuild?
Volvo certified rebuilds are ideal for machines that have reached a certain age or have experienced extensive wear but are still in relatively good structural condition.
If a machine shows signs of wear in key components like the engine, hydraulics, or transmission, but the frame and structure are intact, a rebuild could be the solution.
- Common signs that it might be time to consider a rebuild:
- High maintenance costs for repairs and parts replacement
- Increased downtime or frequent breakdowns affecting productivity
- Declining performance in terms of fuel efficiency, power or speed
- Worn-out components that are critical to the operation of the machine
The process
The Volvo Certified Rebuild process is thorough and transparent. The first step after customers choose to rebuild their machine, sees the machine undergo a complete inspection to assess its condition and identify any worn or damaged parts needing replacement.
The machine will then be carefully disassembled to allow for detailed inspection and replacement of components. Worn-out parts, such as the engine, transmission, hydraulic system, and other critical components, will be replaced with genuine Volvo parts. Once the necessary parts are replaced, the machine will be reassembled and tested to ensure that it meets Volvo’s high standards for performance and safety.
A final inspection ensures that the rebuilt machine performs like new, with improved reliability, efficiency, and productivity.
By restoring equipment to its original condition, using genuine Volvo parts and expert technicians, quarries can save on capital expenses, reduce downtime, and reduce their environmental impact.•
