Unleashing Maximum Value: Why Vikfin Used Excavator Parts Are the Key to Cost-Efficiency and Performance




In the world of earthmoving, keeping excavators running smoothly can be a significant challenge, especially when considering the rising costs of repairs and maintenance. As machinery operators, plant hire companies, and construction managers know, downtime can make or break profitability. That’s where Vikfin steps in, delivering high-quality, refurbished, used OEM excavator parts at prices that make financial sense.


1. The Perks of Choosing Used OEM Parts

Choosing used doesn’t mean settling for subpar quality. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts ensure the highest standards of quality and fit because they are made specifically for your excavator model. Opting for Vikfin’s used OEM parts gives you all the reliability of brand-new components at a fraction of the cost.


At Vikfin, our parts are rigorously inspected and refurbished, ensuring they meet strict standards for performance and longevity. We also pride ourselves on sourcing parts from respected brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, JCB, Doosan, Hitachi, and more, covering models ranging from 20 to 30-tonne machines.


2. Economic Efficiency Without Compromise

For any business, cost control is crucial. The decision to invest in used excavator parts is a strategic move that allows you to extend the life of your equipment without overspending. In comparison to buying new, Vikfin’s used parts offer substantial savings, enabling businesses to allocate their budget to other critical areas like expansion, workforce training, or operational improvements.


3. The Environmental Edge

Sustainability is no longer an option but a necessity in the modern world. By choosing refurbished OEM parts, you contribute to reducing waste and the energy consumption associated with manufacturing brand-new components. The heavy machinery industry is notorious for its environmental impact, so every step towards greener practices makes a difference.


Reusing and recycling old parts reduce the strain on natural resources, and at Vikfin, we ensure that each component is given a new lease on life. By integrating this eco-friendly approach into your business operations, you’re not only making a smart economic decision but also championing environmental stewardship.


4. A Comprehensive Inventory for All Needs

Vikfin stands out for its extensive inventory of used excavator parts, including hard-to-find components like:

  • Engines: We understand the vital role engines play in your excavator’s performance. That’s why our used engines, such as the Volvo D6E from an EC210B, are fully tested and ready to be installed for reliable power output.

  • Hydraulic Cylinders: From boom to dipper arm to bucket cylinders, our range covers every hydraulic need. We refurbish cylinders to ensure optimum performance, eliminating the risk of breakdowns that cost valuable time and money.

  • Steel Tracks and Undercarriage Parts: Our 190mm pitch steel tracks, for example, are compatible with most 20-tonne excavators. Built to withstand rugged terrains, these components are crucial for the longevity of your machine’s undercarriage.

  • Transmissions: If you operate Bell dump trucks, our B40D transmissions are a top choice, meticulously refurbished and ready for heavy-duty use.


5. Why Trust Vikfin?

With a new workshop in Johannesburg and a skilled team dedicated to customer service, Vikfin ensures that each transaction is smooth and satisfactory. We differentiate ourselves in several ways:

  • Expert Knowledge: Our staff is highly knowledgeable about earthmoving machinery and parts compatibility. We guide you through the selection process to ensure the best fit for your needs.

  • Speedy Delivery: We know that in the scrap metal and construction sectors, time is money. We work tirelessly to provide rapid solutions that minimize your equipment’s downtime.

  • Guarantee of Quality: Every part that leaves our facility is vetted for quality and performance. We stand by our products, offering peace of mind for our clients.


6. Unique Selling Points: Cost and Reliability

Vikfin is known for delivering high-quality parts at the lowest guaranteed prices. But our service goes beyond affordability. Our reputation is built on reliability—whether it’s providing a slew motor to keep your excavator’s cab rotation smooth or a wiring harness that keeps your electrical systems running flawlessly.

We also offer specialized solutions. If your excavator breaks down unexpectedly, our team is skilled at quickly diagnosing the issue and sourcing the right part to get your machine back in action. This agility in service can save you countless hours and resources.


7. Meeting the Challenges of the Market

Our business is not immune to challenges. The influx of cheap aftermarket parts from regions like China has made the competition fierce. However, we stand by our conviction that OEM parts, even used ones, outperform aftermarket alternatives in durability and compatibility. If you’re running an earthmoving operation, you know that compromising on quality can lead to even costlier repairs in the long run.


8. Excavators in Critical Roles

Excavators play essential roles in various industries—from construction to waste management to mining. To keep these machines performing optimally, every component matters. Vikfin’s comprehensive offerings ensure that when parts need to be replaced, you have a reliable source that understands the stakes involved.


9. Promoting Our Current Stock

Our current inventory boasts a wide range of parts, including:

  • Liebherr 944 Parts: We’re actively stripping a Liebherr 944 for components. If you need any parts for this model, now’s the time to inquire.

  • Hyundai Robex 210 Parts: Similarly, we have a wide selection of parts from this model, which are perfect for repair or replacement jobs.


10. Let’s Partner for Success

Whether you manage a single excavator or an entire fleet, keeping your equipment operational is crucial. Trust Vikfin to be your go-to partner for high-quality, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solutions. Our customer-focused approach ensures that you get the right part at the right price, with service that’s second to none.
