Special Part Request Form
The purpose of this form is to provide a means for our customers to inform Costex Tractor Parts of a part (or group of parts) that they would like us to consider developing to make available for purchase through our market. Costex Tractor Parts will then investigate and check the feasibility of providing this part to our customers.
At CTP we focus on 15 product lines: Engine components, Fuel system, Seal and Gaskets, Hardware, Filtration, Frame & Body, Undercarriage, Powertrain, Cooling system, Electrical parts, Braking and Steering system, Hydraulic system, Ground and Work engaging tools, Rubber tracks and Accessories. We constantly listen to our customers’ needs and based on their suggestions we also create and develop new product lines.
At CTP®, we sell quality replacement parts for Caterpillar® and Komatsu®. We take quality seriously, that is why we have implemented a three-stage development system to ensure maximum reliability, while guaranteeing proper fit.
The first stage starts early on product development when we make sure all our parts drawings reflect the characteristics required to properly manufacture them; Including special processes as coating, welding, and heat treatment. Once one of our R&D Engineers approve such drawings then sample manufacturing begins.
The second stage happens when samples arrive to our Quality Laboratory. They go under several tests that include PMI (Positive Material Identification), hardness, surface finish, CMM dimensional inspection, and more. At this stage we not only ensure part quality but also manufacturing capability.
The third quality stage is done when actual production shipments are received. Our R&D Engineers inspect all first lots to ensure quality and characteristics are consistent and match requirements. Then, every time parts are handled by packaging, labeling and stocking associates they are inspected for quality and part integrity. The results are simple, “PARTS YOU CAN TRUST” to keep your equipment working.
We at CTP® understand that providing quality product is the first step, the second step is to provide the complete customer service package. This includes the following features:
