Downtime costs money. When your forklift breaks down, fast access to quality parts is the difference between a 1-hour fix and a 1-day loss. Here’s what you need to know about OEM vs. aftermarket parts – and why Alteon delivers both.
OEM Parts: The Perfect Fit
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts are made by the forklift brand itself. They’re exact-match components designed for top performance.
Best For:
- High-usage forklifts
- Critical systems (brakes, hydraulics)
- Maintaining warranty coverage
Aftermarket Parts: Smart Savings
Aftermarket parts are third-party manufactured and often more affordable. Quality varies, but Alteon only sources trusted brands that meet or exceed OEM specs.
Best For:
- Older equipment
- Budget-conscious repairs
- Non-critical components (lights, filters)
Why Choose Alteon Equipment for Parts?
- Huge inventory of OEM & aftermarket parts
- Fast delivery across the GTA
- Free parts sourcing assistance
- Expert technicians available for installation
