What Happened
Cummins is promoting refurbishment over replacement for rental and mining fleets that rely on power generation equipment. The Cummins Power Generation Refurbishment Program repairs units damaged by catastrophic events, age-related degradation, or heavy use, restoring health to essential prime power suppliers. The goal is to maximize uptime and longevity for businesses where power performance directly affects productivity and costs.
- Free on-site damage assessment by a Cummins representative at your business or work site
- Custom refurbishment plan and quote to get the unit back up and running
- Optional customizations, modernizations, enhancements, or competitor part replacements
- All work performed on-site by expert technical teams across North America
“We are one Cummins. We're one network. If we repair a unit or refurbish a unit in Florida, and this same unit somehow happens to have an issue in Wyoming or Washington or a region in Canada, we're already there. We're one entity. And that's something amazing about our brand. We can get them in contact with all the people that they need.”
- Usually far less expensive than replacing the unit
- Typically takes less time to fix an existing unit than to order a new one
- Extends lifespan well beyond original expectations
All refurbishment work is performed on-site by Cummins' expert technical teams across North America. Because Cummins operates as one connected network, customers can continue to rely on service and support wherever their equipment operates. For operations that depend on continuous service or work in rural areas, prompt and cost-conscious service can make the difference between staying in business and shutting down.
Why this matters
For rental and mining companies, a failed generator can halt operations, and replacing it is expensive and slow. Cummins pitches refurbishment as a cheaper, faster fix that restores peak performance and extends equipment life, with service available across North America. Because the damage assessment is free, fleets can evaluate their options without upfront cost.
