Overview
A construction contractor with a mixed fleet of excavators and wheel loaders working on a highway project needed replacement engines and parts delivered ahead of the dry-season construction window.
Challenge
Machines from several manufacturers used different engines. The contractor had limited workshop capacity, so engines needed to arrive as complete, ready-to-install assemblies, and the shipment had to consolidate engines and a large parts order into one delivery.
Solution
| Item | Model | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Excavator diesel engine | Isuzu 6HK1, 6-cylinder | 4 |
| Loader diesel engine | Yuchai YC6A260-20, 191 kW | 3 |
| Loader diesel engine | Weichai WD615G.240 | 3 |
| Compact machinery engine | Yuchai YC4D80-T21, 56 kW | 4 |
| Parts | Filters, hoses, belts, hydraulic pump drive couplings | 1 lot |
Scope of supply
Engine matching from machine serial numbers, complete engine assemblies with accessories, consolidated export packing, CIF Mombasa, and a maintenance schedule pack for each engine model.
Outcome
All machines were back in service before the dry season. The contractor placed a follow-on order for a second project site.
Customer names are withheld; the case describes a typical supply scope built from products in the MARS catalogue.
