Eaton names Pacific Truck as authorized rebuilder

Sept. 3, 2014

Eaton Corp. has expanded its authorized rebuilder program with the addition of Pacific Truck in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Pacific Truck, a division of Crane Carrier (Canada) Limited, is the fifth rebuilder in the program.

Eaton’s authorized rebuilder program, launched last year, gives fleets and independent drivers an option to purchase locally rebuilt transmissions with 100% genuine Eaton components that meet all of Eaton’s re-use and rebuild requirements.

Pacific Truck employs 65 and has an office, warehouse and shop facility of more than 42,000 sq. ft. that will be expanded to 81,500 sq. ft. by the end of the year.

“In business since 1947, Pacific Truck has established itself as one of western Canada’s foremost suppliers of truck parts and equipment,” said Bill Fouch, Eaton’s NAFTA aftermarket marketing manager. “Our newest Authorized Rebuilder promises to bring new business opportunities and many years of future successes with our mutual truck industry customers.”

“Eaton’s partnership with Pacific Truck further confirms our commitment to and culture of always delivering quality in the Canadian market place,” added Curt Maier, vice president for Crane Carrier Canada and Pacific Truck. “It is a winning combination, and our joint efforts will certainly bring additional value to our customers, associates and ownership and further separate us from the competition.”

Additional Eaton authorized rebuilders are Power Train, Indianapolis, Ind.; TransAxle, Cinnaminson, N.J.; Valley Truck Parts, Grand Rapids, Mich.; and Anderson Brothers in Portland, Ore.

To be recognized, each rebuilder is  required to complete Eaton’s technical and sales training, to meet Eaton’s re-use and rebuild criteria, and must use 100% genuine Eaton content for all of the transmissions rebuilt as part of the program.

Eaton provides the program participants with enhanced warranty coverage, and marketing support, including signage and tags for the rebuilt units, promotional materials, and advertising support.
