Crusher wear parts aren’t cheap—and every extra touchpoint between the foundry and your yard adds markup. Dealers often face two unappealing choices: place small, frequent pallet orders at retail or tie up cash in oversized inventory that still carries multiple handling fees and freight surcharges. For US Equipment, a Midwestern dealer serving 13 states in quarries, concrete recyclers, large contractors, and construction sites, sought a more efficient approach, maintaining access to OEM manganese steel parts at factory pricing without overextending warehouse space or capital..
The answer arrived in the form of MPP Aftermarket’s Full Container Load (FCL) program, coupled with an exclusive promotion that allowed US Equipment to test—and then fully adopt—a bulk-ordering model that slashes the cost per kilo and ships straight from the foundry to their yard.
One Container, Zero Compromises
MPP Aftermarket’s FCL solution ships 20 metric tons of manganese wear parts for cone and jaw crushers directly from the foundry to a dealer’s yard. No cross-docking, no palletizing, no hidden handling fees.
- Cost efficiency: Bulk rates cut the landed cost per kilo by double-digit percentages compared to piecemeal LTL shipments.
- Lower emissions: one sea container replaces dozens of pallet movements, significantly reducing transport-related CO₂ emissions.
- Total flexibility: mixing OEM jaw dies and cone liners with extended wear life for a variety of crusher models in a single order.
Earlier this year, MPP Aftermarket ran a limited promotion for dealers exploring our FCL option.
Meet the Winner: US Equipment Sales & Rentals
Serving the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest, US Equipment keeps a diverse fleet of jaw and cone crushers humming. Their business model hinges on maximizing crusher uptime: if a liner cracks on Friday afternoon, they’re expected on site with a replacement Saturday morning, and the crushing process never stops. Stockouts aren’t just inconvenient; they can stall a client’s entire production schedule
“We were fortunate to take part in MPP Aftermarket’s exclusive OEM manganese parts promotion, and we’re grateful for the opportunity. Having essential wear parts in stock gives US Equipment a strong advantage.” Noted – Vladimir Goberman, Parts Sales Manager, US Equipment Sales & Rentals
From Port to Yard in Eight Weeks
The container arrived clearly labelled, crusher jaw dies and cone liners scanned into inventory and slotted by machine family—nothing left on the ground after day one. Within 48 hours, the first emergency jaw-swap came in. Techs pulled parts straight off the new rack, completed the change-out before dusk, and the customer never missed a shift.
Tangible Gains at a Glance
- Response time: Emergency liner replacements were completed 80% faster than the pre-FCL average.
- Cost control: landed cost per kilogram 20% lower vs. prior palletised orders.
- Customer uptime: zero unplanned crusher stoppages exceeded 24 hours in the first quarter after stocking.
