Discover some must-have parts for construction equipment rental


For rental companies, everything depends on the availability of their fleet. Whatever construction equipment they rent out, it is vital to keep it going at all times. This means that sooner or later, the need for replacement parts and accessories is inevitable. Some must-haves are even universal and can be used on all common construction machines in rental fleets, including small earth-movers, mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers. Read all about the must-have parts and accessories in this blog.

Engine components

Engine components

Keeping the engine of small earth-movers, mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers in good condition is essential to avoid engine failure and unnecessary downtime. In addition, high-quality engine components optimise the performance of machines and extend their life. Turn to TVH to find all necessary engine products, including water pumps, fuel pumps, belts, gears, gaskets, pistons, and more.

Electrical components

Electrical components

All construction machines are full of various electrical components, such as batteries, fuses, relays, speed limiters ... To guarantee the flawless operation of small earth-movers, MEWPs and telehandlers, it is essential that these components work perfectly. Find a full range of electrical components at TVH, including batteries, chargers, starters, alternators, sensors, electrical switches, etc.

Hydraulics

Hydraulics

The hydraulic system is crucial for the effective operation of any construction machine. On small earth-movers, it provides the required power to move various parts and attachments, allowing these machines to continuously dig, level, scoop, etc. The hydraulic system also keeps MEWPs going, since it powers the lifting and reaching functions of these machines. And because telehandlers can be equipped with various attachments, they need adequate power at the head of the boom; power that is delivered by the hydraulic system. 

Keep the hydraulic system of machines in top condition and choose TVH as your supplier of hydraulic parts. Our wide range includes hydraulic pumps, final drives, seal kits, hoses, quick couplers, complete cylinders and more.

Filtration

Filtration

Contaminants such as dirt, dust and debris are harmful to all construction equipment. When they get into the fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid or internal components, they are known to cause damage and reduce the lifespan of machines. Fortunately, high-quality filters keep small earth-movers, mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers in top working order. TVH offers a wide range of fuel, oil, hydraulic and air filters to protect and extend the life of construction equipment.

Cabin parts

Cabin parts

Cabin parts may not seem directly related to the functioning of small earth-movers and telehandlers, but this is far from true. Not only is a well-equipped cabin essential to keep the operator safe, but it also plays an important role in increasing their comfort. A comfortable operator works more productively and efficiently, which is beneficial to the overall lifespan of machines. TVH’s selection of cabin parts includes seats and seat accessories, mirrors, locks and latches, joysticks, switches, dashboards, meters, gas springs, etc.

Windshields & glazing

Windshields & glazing

Quality glazing is the window to less machine downtime. Operators who have a clear view of the worksite can handle small earth-movers and telehandlers in the safest and most efficient way, resulting in less machine downtime. Building on years of experience, TVH can supply a variety of high-quality windshields and glazing to provide the best possible view. Our offer for small earth-movers and telehandlers includes front, rear, top and side windows and more.

Joysticks & control boxes

Joysticks & control boxes

Joysticks and control boxes are some of the most important parts of a machine. They allow operators to perform tasks faster and easier, improving the overall performance of small earth-movers, mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers. Browse TVH's range of joysticks and control boxes to find the ideal system for any machine, in any situation.

Tracks & undercarriage

Tracks & undercarriage

Rubber tracks allow small earth-movers such as mini-excavators and compact track loaders to work on sensitive surfaces and travel over rough terrain. And while most mobile elevating work platforms are equipped with wheels or tyres, some have tracks to climb over jagged debris or crawl along delicate surfaces. To ensure these machines can continue to work efficiently, it is important to choose quality replacements when their rubber tracks and undercarriage parts wear out. Shop at TVH for an extensive range of replacement parts.

Tyres

Tyres

Construction equipment often has to perform tasks in difficult environments and on rough terrain. In these conditions, the tyres of skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, MEWPs and telehandlers are more susceptible to punctures, resulting in unexpected downtime and lost productivity. Especially with mobile elevating work platforms, the sudden pressure loss of tyres can lead to dangerous situations, even with fall protection. So why take the risk? Shop high-quality tyres at TVH instead. We offer a complete range of tyre solutions, including foam-filled tyres.

Transmission parts

Transmission parts

Transmission parts keep construction equipment going. Literally. They transmit engine power, provide speed control and ensure smooth movement. In this way, they contribute to the traction, stability and safety of machines. At TVH, we have all the transmission parts needed for the efficient operation of backhoe loaders and telehandlers. This range includes drive axles, axle shafts, driveshafts, transmission discs, steering wheels and knobs, reductors, etc.

Pins, bushings & bearings

Pins, bushings & bearings

One of the many ways to improve the performance and lifespan of small earth-movers, mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers, is by keeping their frame and body in optimal shape. You can find all essentials to do this at TVH. We offer a huge range of pins, bushings, bearings and associated hardware to keep construction equipment going.

Forks

Forks
