Genuine parts…..our savior. Is it? Myth or fact.

By the way, QRP is known as Quality Replacement Parts. You can call it the cousin of Genuine. LOL.

Here is current “perception” of Genuine parts…

1. Expensive
2. Great quality
3. Lasts forever
4. Real and Robust
5. Choice of the clever

Are you one of those who subscribe to this myth? Yeah we call it myth, and for very good legit reasons too. With our experience of more than 50 years, we have deep insights into the world of forklift parts. So in the chart below, we will help you understand the authenticity of genuine parts. We highlight the Top 5 key areas of measurement.

Point to note. Genuine is not quality. Genuine is a “word” and a “classification/category”. Likewise is “Quality Replacement Parts”. What you are seeking is Quality which is a functionality. So as long as functionality aka Quality is met, you do not actually care about the category of the parts right? Exactly!!!

Why then do you pay min 30%-150% higher for a similar quality or sometimes lower for a Genuine part? The surplus you are paying for is actually for branding and packaging. Do you know that sometimes the QRP part actually originates from the same factory as the Genuine but is more affordable coz it does not carry the genuine brand?

Here’s our disclaimer. We are not indicating that Genuine parts are poor quality. Depending on the part required + the manner your operator mans your forklift + environment your forklift works in will influence our recommendation to buy Genuine or QRP. We seek for you the lowest Total Cost of Ownership, not just initial cost.
