The newly-introduced Certified Rebuild Program from Volvo Construction Equipment protects the finances of equipment users by restoring the original strength, durability and power of their existing Volvo machines.

Volvo Construction Equipment has launched its new Certified Rebuild Program to ensure a long lifespan for Volvo machines. Comprised of three packages – Certified Hydraulics Rebuild, Certified Powertrain Rebuild and Certified Machine Rebuild – the Volvo Certified Rebuild Program extends the life of Volvo machines without compromising the environment or customers’ finances, says the company.

Large or small, the Certified Rebuild Program finds the gap in a Volvo machine’s performance, bringing equipment back to its best and optimising the long-term investment value at a fraction of the cost of a new model. By reducing the total cost per hour by 8%, the program enables customers to optimise their cash flow and extend their budget.

The program not only lowers costs, but is also said to maximise the productivity and uptime of existing equipment, rebuilt to perform almost as if it had just left the production line. With the Certified Rebuild Program, customers can experience all the performance and uptime expected from a new machine.

Under the programme, Volvo dealers plan machine restoration to fit customers’ schedules and provide regular progress updates to ensure the rebuild is completed on time. As an added bonus, customers have the opportunity to modify their machines during the rebuild process to match specific applications and jobsite requirements.

Volvo offers a range of flexible Certified Rebuild packages tailor-made to meet customers’ needs. As with all the Certified Rebuild packages, a team of skilled Volvo technicians perform a detailed machine assessment and consider individual working environments for potential modifications. To optimise the value of the equipment owner’s investments, Volvo certified dealers consider everything – from budget and machine status to business objectives and applications – and customise an offer perfectly matched to the particular needs.

Certified Hydraulics Rebuild

For users of equipment concerned about the operating speed of their excavator, Certified Hydraulics Rebuild is an offer to consider. With a quick and simple assessment of the machine’s hydraulic components performance, a Volvo technician can evaluate the amount of work needed to achieve optimum performance. With Certified Hydraulics Rebuild, customers can expect an efficient solution that requires minimal technical operations and delivers 100% restored hydraulic performance, the company says.

Certified Powertrain Rebuild

If a customer is experiencing a decreased level of machine productivity, a certified Volvo dealer can help by assessing the vital components and develop a solution to bring the full built-in Volvo quality back to life. With this option, customers can experience the performance and uptime they would expect from a new machine. Using the latest engineering updates, Certified Powertrain Rebuild restores fuel consumption, offers better flexibility with a range of Volvo Reman components and secures high uptime of the machine.

Certified Machine Rebuild

Certified Machine Rebuild is specifically designed for customers who want their older assets to look and perform like new. The company says machine users who opt for this offer receive a complete rebuild of their machine inside and out, including the powertrain and hydraulics, as well as the latest engineering updates and a fresh coat of paint.

Equipment Africa says: On the back of constrained construction and mining markets, rebuilding of equipment is an option increasingly being adopted by many customers within these industries. With OEM-certified rebuilds, machines can be bought back to “as new” condition. Key benefits include reduced capital requirements for the same annual period of time; meeting operational targets without the need to replace a machine, and improved availability and reliability of your machines.
