How to Identify the Right Salvage Part for Your Machine

Matching salvage parts correctly is critical for success. Here are tips:

  1. Confirm make/model/year: Ensure your excavator’s brand, model number, serial number and configuration match or are compatible with the part.
  2. Check part number: Many components have OEM part numbers; cross-reference these with the salvage part.
  3. Verify condition: Ask for photos, inspection records, hours of use or run time remaining on key components.
  4. Warranty & support: At VI Equipment we back our parts with a one-year warranty on remanufactured components. 
  5. Shipping & logistics: Salvage parts often require careful shipping; confirm freight options, packaging, international shipping if needed.

Benefits of Working with a Specialist Supplier

When you partner with a supplier like VI Equipment who specializes in excavator salvage for brands like Caterpillar, John Deere and Hitachi, you benefit from:

  • Large parts inventory and fast turnaround—reducing machine downtime.
  • Global shipping capabilities (Canada, USA and worldwide) as your page states.

How to Care for and Install Salvage Excavator Parts

To maximize the lifespan of salvage parts, it’s wise to follow best-practice installation and maintenance steps:

  • Clean and inspect the site of installation (mounting surfaces, linkages, pin/bushings).
  • Use fresh fluids, filters and gaskets—don’t reuse worn consumables.
  • Ensure proper torqueing of bolts and fasteners per OEM specs.
  • Monitor the part during initial hours of use (e.g., hydraulic cylinder, final drive) for leaks, vibration, unusual noises.
  • Schedule regular inspections – even a good salvage part will benefit from preventive maintenance.
  • Keep documentation of part origin, serial numbers, installation date and any warranty terms

FAQs for Excavator Salvage Parts

Q: What does “salvage part” mean for excavators?
 A: A salvage part is a component taken from an excavator that has been dismantled, often at its end-of-life for the machine. The part is inspected, and if suitable, resold for reuse in another machine. It differs from brand-new OEM and from full remanufactured parts.

Q: Are salvage parts reliable for heavy equipment like Caterpillar, John Deere and Hitachi excavators?
 A: Yes—when sourced from a reputable supplier, properly inspected and correctly matched to the machine. The key is verifying condition, compatibility, and confirming any warranty or return terms.

Q: How much can I save by using a salvage part?
 A: Savings vary, but using salvage or remanufactured components versus new OEM can reduce cost significantly—sometimes by 30% to 60% or more.

Q: What should I check before buying a salvage part?
 A: Confirm make/model compatibility, part number, condition of the component, hours of use (if available), warranty/return policy, shipping details, and inspect whether the supplier provides any warranty or guarantee.

Q: Does VI Equipment ship these parts internationally?
 A: Yes. According to your page, VI Equipment ships worldwide, including to the USA and Canada. 

Q: Can I install salvage parts myself, or should a technician do it?
 A: While some experienced mechanics may handle installation, heavy equipment components often require expert installation, correct torquing, system bleeding (for hydraulics), and proper testing. For best results and to preserve warranty, professional installation is recommended.

Q: Do salvage parts come with a warranty?
 A: At VI Equipment your page states that remanufactured excavator components come with a one-year warranty. It’s best to ask explicitly about used salvage parts and what warranty (if any) applies.

Q: How can I be sure the salvage part fits my excavator?
 A: Provide the supplier with your machine’s serial number, make, model, year, and details of the part you need. Ask for the part number of the salvage piece, verify any differences (attachments, revisions) and ask for photo documentation or inspection report.
