FEL-TECH HAMMER DIVISION OFFERS PARTS FOR ALL BRANDS OF HYDRAULIC HAMMERS ON THE MARKET TODAY.
You know FEL-TECH Hammer Division as the world s largest supplier of aftermarket wear parts. Our wear parts center has parts for hundreds of different models of hydraulic hammers. FEL-TECH Hammer Division also sells what is termed OEM parts for over 60 different manufactures which include over 1500 different models that have been produced and sold throughout the years.
When choosing between OEM parts and aftermarket parts it is essential that you understand exactly what the term OEM means before you spend your hard earned money. DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO.
You also must realize that the hammer that you think you have may not be the hammer that it really is. Regardless of what the tag, model name or instruction manual says. This is because many companies sell private label hydraulic hammers that were purchased from a leading hydraulic hammer manufacturer. It also may be that a hammer that was made in Korea and sold under several different model names with no changes, with the exception of the color of the paint, the model name and the cost.
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF OEM PARTS?
Contradictory and confusing definitions
Confusingly, OEM may also refer to a company that purchases a component made by a second company for use in the purchasing company's products. For instance if company 'A Inc' purchases optical drives from company 'B Ltd' that will be used in 'A Inc' computers , then 'company A' is the OEM.
An even more confusing, contradictory definition for OEM is a company that sells the product of the second company under its own brand name.
Companies who follow the above practices are better termed VARs (value-added resellers)or reseller's respectively.
The practice of utilizing OEMs relies on their ability to drive down the cost of production through economies of scale. It also allows the purchasing company to obtain the needed components or products without owning and operating a factory.
The term OEM was used in the early 1960s by Digital Equipment Corporation and its vendors to refer to value-added resellers.
