Why Vikfin's OEM Final Drives for 20-Ton Excavators Outperform the Competition




In the demanding world of heavy machinery, excavator owners face tough decisions when replacing critical components like final drives. The choice between new OEM parts, aftermarket alternatives, or high-quality refurbished OEM parts from Vikfin can significantly impact performance, downtime, and budget. Here’s why Vikfin’s OEM final drives for 20-ton excavators are the superior choice.


Engineering Precision: The OEM Advantage

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are engineered to the exact specifications set by the manufacturer of the excavator. Unlike aftermarket parts, which often cut corners in design and material quality, OEM final drives deliver:

  • Precision Fit: OEM parts seamlessly integrate into the machine’s existing system, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of damage.

  • Superior Materials: Manufacturers use high-grade metals and alloys that withstand extreme pressure and wear, ensuring longevity and reliability.

  • Consistent Performance: OEM components undergo extensive testing during development, guaranteeing that they meet stringent performance standards.

At Vikfin, we go a step further by rigorously refurbishing and testing all OEM final drives to ensure they meet or exceed the original standards.


Vikfin’s Rigorous Quality Checks and Testing Process

Refurbishing a final drive is no small feat. At Vikfin, we understand that our clients depend on these components to keep their machines running smoothly. Here’s how we ensure every final drive we sell is up to the task:

  1. Comprehensive Inspection: Every incoming part undergoes a meticulous inspection to identify wear, damage, or defects.

  2. Precision Refurbishment: Skilled technicians rebuild the drives using top-quality components, ensuring the part operates as if it were brand new.

  3. Advanced Testing: Final drives are subjected to rigorous testing under simulated working conditions to guarantee performance and reliability.

  4. Warranty Coverage: To further instill confidence, Vikfin offers competitive warranties on our refurbished final drives.

This process ensures that our clients receive final drives that perform reliably under the most demanding conditions—at a fraction of the cost of new parts.


Economic Advantages of Vikfin’s OEM Final Drives

Choosing a new final drive might seem appealing until you consider the price. A new OEM final drive for a 20-ton excavator can cost upwards of R150,000, while aftermarket alternatives often fall into the R80,000 - R100,000 range. However, these savings come at the expense of quality and durability.

Here’s where Vikfin’s refurbished OEM final drives shine:

  • Cost Savings: Our refurbished final drives typically cost R70,000 to R90,000, offering substantial savings without compromising on quality.

  • Longevity: Refurbished OEM parts often outlast their aftermarket counterparts, making them a more economical choice in the long run.

  • Reduced Downtime: With parts that fit perfectly and perform reliably, your excavator spends less time in the workshop and more time generating revenue.

How to Select the Right Final Drive for Your Excavator

Choosing the right final drive can be daunting, especially with the variety of options available. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the right choice:

  1. Know Your Machine: Identify the make, model, and year of your excavator. Check the existing final drive’s part number if possible.

  2. Assess Your Needs: Consider the type of work your excavator performs and the conditions it operates under. For heavy-duty tasks, prioritize durability.

  3. Set a Budget: While it’s tempting to opt for the cheapest solution, remember that quality often translates to long-term savings.
