Parts availability is also a measure of product quality

Lifespan depends on the availability of parts

A machine may be technically superbly built. But what good is a service life of fifteen or twenty years if an essential part is no longer available after eight years? That’s why, in our view, parts availability is part of product quality. After all, a long service life stems from two things: a product that is capable of lasting a long time and an organization that makes it possible to keep that product in use for a long time.

Parts Availability? Zijtveld supports maintenance, repair, and overhaul with replacement parts and overhaul kits. Parts are available from stock for all models, and parts are still available even for grapples that are decades old. This prevents a peculiar situation that occurs all too often in the industry: having to replace an entire piece of equipment because a relatively small part is no longer available.

The Value of a Long-Term Investment

The true cost of a grab is determined not only by the purchase price, but also by the costs of maintenance, repair, and replacement over its entire service life. By ensuring that parts remain available over the long term, a grab stays in service longer and unnecessary replacements are avoided. This makes the investment not only more sustainable, but also more cost-effective in the long run.
