Save up to 50% Komatsu Parts
Do you really believe Komatsu manufactures all their own parts?
If you do, I have a bridge to sell you. But it’s not your fault; millions of dollars have been spent to try and convince you of this very notion. The Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are the only supplier of good quality Komatsu parts. Komatsu if the second largest manufacturer of construction equipment worldwide. We can attest to the quality and longevity of the product, and it is our opinion that Komatsu equipment are among the best engineered in the world. But if Komatsu made all their own parts, we wouldn’t see names like Bosch and Zexel, Cummins, ZF, Rexroth and so many others on their machines. The fact is OEM manufacturers can’t develop these components cost effectively, so they are farmed out to other component manufacturers. The result is that the same injector you buy for your Komatsu can be calibrated to work on a Caterpillar or John Deere machine and the same can be said for most components.
Do you believe all Komatsu Parts are engineered by Komatsu for Komatsu?
While Komatsu and other OEMs will provide engineering specs for all their components, many of these specs often match the spec of a competitor’s machine. It’s only natural that the manufacturers of these components will make their parts in such a way that they will serve a variety of manufacturers. If you can crack the code, you can walk into any Cummins distributor in the world and walk out with the right part for your Komatsu engine. Not just one that will work, but the exact same part with a Cummins logo instead of a Komatsu logo. But Cummins doesn’t make it easy, and some parts may in fact be more expensive that purchasing it from Komatsu. That is where our expertise comes in. We do the work, so you don’t have to.
Why are Komatsu dealer parts so much more expensive than aftermarket Komatsu parts?
CPP brand parts on average are about 50% the cost of the new Komatsu part. Its true that not all parts are equal and that sometimes what we find to be cheap results in being much more expensive in the long run. Komatsu dealers are among the safest places to buy your parts. Not only do they have all the parts books and service manuals to ensure you get the right part for your machines, but they have factory trained technicians to diagnose and fix your machines. But the premium they change is too often unreasonable. Aftermarket Komatsu Parts are readily available and can result in savings of thousands of dollars per year on parts. But not all are created equal. It is important to vet your source of parts. Not just where they come from, but the quality of said parts. For example, the Chinese market is built on a throwaway system. Machines are run to end of life and thrown away. It’s not cost effective to fix them and often there are no replacement parts available because it was never meant to be repaired. And yet, Komatsu, Caterpillar, Doosan, and every other major manufacturer have plants in China. So is it that all Chinese parts are bad or is that you must know what you’re buying and who you’re buying from.
