What is remanufacturing?
Remanufacturing can be defined as “Returning a product to at least its original performance with a warranty that is equivalent or better than that of the newly manufactured product.”
Remanufacturing effort involves dismantling the product, restoring, and replacing components, testing individual parts and the entire product to ensure it fits within the original specifications.
Bobcat remanufactured parts are built only from genuine Bobcat components. The use of original cores allows us to reduce the costs of production without compromising quality, durability, or performance.
Core returns – not required for now.
Every remanufacturing program needs a source of returned cores to keep running. To motivate customers to return the cores, certain surcharge is a part of the purchase price. Bobcat's program is no different, but this obligation will not be applied in the 1st phase of the program.
Dealers are not required to return cores to Bobcat. We recommend putting in place adequate processes, allowing dealers to collect cores from customers, and stocking the cores on-site.
During 2022 we plan to introduce core returns as a part of the program. When introduced, dealers will be incentivized for returning cores to Bobcat.
Pricing
There is always the obvious price benefit when purchasing remanufactured parts. On average, remanufactured parts cost 25% less than new ones.
During the 1st phase of the program, the price is final and no surcharges must be considered, as core returns are not required.
With the core return process planned for 2022, the pricing structure will change and price benefits will be achieved only after a core is returned to Bobcat.
Warranty
All remanufactured parts are backed by the same warranty as new Bobcat parts.
Ordering process and numbering
Remanufactured parts are identified by a Bobcat 7-digit number, the same as in case of new part and “REM” suffix.
Example: 6685190 is a new starter PN. The remanufactured alternative is 6685190REM
Remanufactured parts can be ordered directly through the Dealer Portal system – DoosanShop. The ordering process is the same as for new parts.
If a part is offered as both new and remanufactured, both options will be displayed when searching by Bobcat 7-digit number.
Benefits for dealers
Remanufacturing is important to your dealership because it gives you the ability to offer new and remanufactured equivalent parts to your customers, who can choose based on their preferences.
You will now be able to offer the consumer a brand new, off-the-shelf replacement part or a high-quality remanufactured part that meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
This gives you a competitive advantage allowing you to offer quality parts at competitive prices, opening up your dealership to a new martket of price sensitive consumers.
Range
Remanufactured alternatives are available for selected fuel, hydraulic and electronic components, starters, alternators, and turbochargers. In case of some no longer produced parts, a remanufactured version may be the only option offered.
