Choosing between repairing, rebuilding or replacing machinery depends on several factors. Repair is a cost-effective solution when it comes to minor faults that do not affect the overall performance of the machine. On the other hand, rebuilding can be ideal for machinery whose chassis and structure are still in good condition, but which require an upgrade of key components such as engines, transmissions or hydraulic systems.
Complete replacement is necessary when the machinery has reached the end of its useful life or when repairs become too frequent and costly. Another aspect to consider is the technology of the new equipment: a replacement allows the acquisition of more efficient machinery with new functionalities that can significantly improve productivity and reduce energy consumption. A long-term cost assessment, based on operational benefits, can help decide which of these options is most favourable for the company.
