Reman, not repaired: when remanufactured parts are the best choice

In the construction equipment world, downtime means losses. Every day a machine cannot work translates into direct costs and reduced productivity. The answer: fast, safe and durable replacement parts.

This is why Komatsu Reman is the smart alternative: no compromise on quality and with significant savings on component costs.

What does “Reman” mean?

The Komatsu Reman system involves the complete remanufacturing of worn components directly in Komatsu factories, under the same OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) standards as brand-new parts.

Each unit is fully disassembled, cleaned, inspected and reassembled with new components where required.
All units undergo rigorous testing before shipment, and performance matches that of a new part.
You receive full Komatsu warranty—exactly as for an original new component.

In other words, it’s not just a repair, but a certified remanufacture—hence the name “Remanufactured”.

Why not just “repaired”?

Repairing a component in a local workshop may temporarily fix a failure, but it does not guarantee:

• OEM dimensional tolerances
• performance and reliability testing
• or predictable lifecycle

By contrast, Reman offers repeatable performance, tested in controlled environments—resulting in confidence and predictability in operation.

Real savings: up to 40% discount

A major advantage of the Reman system is the core return program.
If you return the replaced component, you can benefit from up to 40% cost reduction compared to the price of a new part.

This means you save without sacrificing quality, and the old part enters the circular refurbishment process—also contributing to sustainability.

A concrete example: the KLB engine block

A perfect example of Komatsu Reman efficiency is the KLB—crankshaft-assembled engine block with cylinder head.

• Assembled in Komatsu factories with all the latest technical upgrades.
• Simple and fast installation, reducing machine downtime.
• Longer service life and lower total cost of ownership.

For fleets that cannot afford long periods of inactivity, the KLB Reman is a strategic choice.
