Repair of clip-on and underslung gensets
Clip-on gensets are exposed to frequent handling and mounting, increasing the risk of connector damage and structural wear. We thoroughly inspect mechanical mounting systems and electrical connections during repairs.
Underslung gensets face constant road vibration and environmental exposure. We pay special attention to chassis mounting points, vibration-sensitive components and cooling efficiency to ensure long-term reliability after repair.
OEM and cost-effective spare parts
We maintain stock of original, reconditioned and used spare parts, allowing us to offer both premium and cost-efficient repair solutions.
Available parts include:
- Engines and engine components
- Alternators
- Control units
- Fuel pumps and filters
- Radiators and cooling components
- Electrical wiring and connectors
- Complete spare parts kits
Parts can be supplied directly to your preferred location if required.
Minimize downtime. Protect your cargo.
Unresolved genset issues can result in:
- Temperature deviations
- Cargo claims
- Delivery delays
- Increased fuel consumption

Professional repair not only restores functionality but also prevents secondary damage and further cost escalation.
