categories:
Spare parts
Components replaced only when they fail or break, such as engines, hydraulic pumps, and gearboxes. Their purpose is to reduce downtime and enable quick repairs.
Wear Parts
Parts that naturally wear out due to friction and heavy use and must be replaced regularly, such as bucket teeth, drill bits, and crusher liners. They help protect the main equipment and maintain efficiency.
Consumables
Items that are used up during normal operation and need frequent replacement or refilling, such as fuel, oil, grease, filters, and coolant. They keep machinery running smoothly and prevent damage.
Business Importance:
Proper management of these items reduces equipment downtime, improves productivity, and creates continuous revenue opportunities in heavy equipment industries.
