If replacement parts are difficult to source, Australian manufacturing capability may give you another path to investigate. Inspection, reverse engineering and component manufacturing can all inform what’s possible with an existing gearbox. The right choice still depends on its condition, the work required and the time each option will take. Download our guide to make a more informed repair or replacement decision.

A gearbox failure doesn’t always mean the entire unit needs replacing. If the housing and other major components remain serviceable, an inspection can show what can be retained, repaired or remanufactured. Before you commit to a new gearbox, explore the options for your existing equipment. Download Hardman Bros’ quick guide to assessing condition, overhaul scope, cost and downtime.

For critical equipment, the cost of waiting can be greater than the cost of the gearbox itself. Turnaround time matters – but so does understanding why the failure occurred and what work is needed to return the unit to reliable service. Download Hardman Bros’ guide to comparing repair, remanufacture and replacement, including five questions to ask before approving the work.

An unavailable OEM part can complicate a gearbox repair, especially when drawings no longer exist. Reverse engineering and local manufacturing may offer a way to replace a worn or obsolete component. How do you decide what approach makes sense for the gearbox as a whole? Download our guide for the questions to ask about serviceability, parts availability and the scope of a proposed repair.

When a large gear is damaged, the replacement path deserves a closer look. Hardman Bros manufactures gears up to 1.5 metres in diameter in Australia, creating another option to investigate when a component is worn or unavailable. Our new guide helps you look beyond the price of a new unit and compare what can be repaired, manufactured or replaced, alongside lead time and downtime. Download your copy.
