Internet Purchases, Lubrication Equipment & Your Bottom Line

In today's competitive environment where every dollar counts, finding ways to save money without compromising quality and service are a key to staying competitive

For companies that use lubrication equipment and supplies, whether manufactured by Alemite, or Lincoln, or Graco or others, one way to do this is to buy your equipment on the internet. This is true for all purchasers unless, of course, you require your vendor to install the equipment.

In years past, it made sense to buy this kind of equipment, grease and oil pumps, reels and control hands, as well as grease guns, battery powered or cordless grease guns and fittings from your local dealer. There were no other options for you as far a purchasing and you likely relied on your supplier to repair your equipment.

Today, things have changed. First, most companies repair their own equipment. Second, there are many repair "super centers", regional repair facilities that can economically and in a timely fashion repair this equipment. Most importantly, the internet has opened competition, driving the price down for you. While this is true for many commodities, it is particularly true for lubrication equipment and supplies.

These internet warehouses give you what you want as far as support: Technical information and drawings, detailed quoting, factory warranties and logistical assistance to name a few. All of this at a significant discount from traditional supply channels.

How is this possible?

These companies, in general, do not have a show room, rather just a warehouse. They do not have direct sales people calling on accounts. In other words, they have significantly reduced overhead. They are willing to pass a large portion of their margin to you, in exchange for a relatively easy sale. They are fully authorized by the factory (make sure you confirm this with them and the factory before you buy!) so warranty claims if any are straight forward.

As an example, a mine in the Southwest, had a lubrication set up that included: A grease pump on a cart, hose reel, a dispensing head and a battery powered cordless grease gun. All of this product was manufactured by Alemite. This set up was replicated multiple times throughout the property. When it came time to replace a set up, they saved over 25% on the components. They received the same parts, on the same pallet from the same factory for more than a 25% savings. All purchased from an authorized dealer with the same factory warranty.

If you take the time to make sure that your internet purveyor is a factory authorized dealer, there is no reason that you and your company can't enjoy similar savings when you buy lubrication equipment and supplies.
