As a dealer of wear parts, you’ve successfully provided teeth, adapters and complementary products for various equipment sizes. But have you considered expanding your business by targeting larger stationary production machines used in quarrying and heavy-duty operations? Here’s why and how you can take that step.

Larger machines, higher returns

These types of machines – such as R35 and above – often represent significantly higher investment potential. A single large machine can generate sales comparable to several smaller units, leading to fewer transactions but greater returns. The process of supplying wear parts for these machines is similar to working with smaller equipment. However, the revenue potential and repeat business in this segment are considerably higher.

Customers operating large production machinery are experienced and value high-performance, durable wear parts. They think long-term – focusing on total cost of ownership rather than just initial price. This makes premium solutions like C-REX even more relevant and the need for complementary products like ProTect and ProMite is often a demand in such applications.

How to tap into this opportunity

  • Explore larger operations in your area – such as quarries, open pit mines and industrial sites using R35-sized machines and above.
  • Understand their specific challenges and requirements to provide tailored advice and solutions.
  • Highlight the value Combi Wear Parts brings: longer wear life, lower operational costs, and consistent quality.

Summary of benefits

  • Larger sales per transaction
  • Long-term business stability
  • Higher profit margins
  • Customers who appreciate and demand quality

Annual revenue potential: R18 vs R70

To illustrate the business impact of machine size, here’s a comparison based on standard annual consumption assumptions and list price values.

R18

20-ton excavator


 

Configuration: C-REX holders and teeth

Estimated annual list price value: ~3,700 EUR

Configuration characteristics (based on this example):

  • C-REX holders and teeth

  • No lip shrouds included

  • Lower total annual list value

R70

Large excavators (typically 70–100+ tons)


 

Configuration: Full C-REX system + ProTect lip shrouds

Estimated annual list price value: ~73,200 EUR

Configuration characteristics (based on this example):

  • Full C-REX system

  • Includes ProTect lip shrouds

  • Significantly higher total annual list value

Key insight

One R70 installation represents nearly 20x higher annual sales value compared to one R18 installation (Example based on standard annual usage assumptions and list price values. Actual consumption may vary depending on application, working conditions and configuration).
