Heavy Equipment Blog

Here at American Crane and Tractor Parts we make it our top priority to serve our ever-expanding customer base. We strive to anticipate our clientele's needs and wants. For that very reason we are proud to stock aftermarket parts for Volvo® construction equipment. We stock a wide range of high quality parts for the most popular machines and applications in the North American population of Volvo®.

To ensure satisfaction we have gone one step further to make the customer's shopping experience more efficent. By offering Volvo® engine rebuild kits we are able to speed the search up and get the products into the hands of our customer's faster. You call us, we find the part number you need, and we have the entire engine kit with everything you need for the rebuild already packaged for you. This will dramatically decrease your wait time and enable us to get your product to you that much quicker,.

 Volvo® trucks have proven their Tier 4 technology reliable and ready for any off-highway performance thrown their way. Volvo® Construction Equipment leverages this expertise providing the performance demanded for the extreme conditions our customer's find themselves in. We are excited to deliver a high quality product to all of the hard-working individuals and businesses who rely on their Volvo® Construction Equipment on a day to day basis.

Sitting inside our Kansas City headquarters, the ACTParts machine shop is where all of our cylinder heads are loaded, components are rebuilt and transmissions are tested on the Dyno bench.  Its reputation in the heavy equipment industry is kept strong by 30+-year ACTParts veteran Jerry Duxbury.  He is vital to the processes described below that allow ACTParts to stock the industry’s finest remanufactured components, ready to ship to customers around the world.

Late last year we set up an Instagram account (@actparts) as part of an effort to engage with our social media followers more frequently and to help tell the day-to-day story of American Crane & Tractor Parts. As we move forward into the future as the industry's highest quality distributor of aftermarket heavy equipment parts for Caterpillar® and now Volvo® construction equipment, these pictures will provide followers with a lot of insight into our company values, the quality of our products and people, and, most importantly, if and when Dave Sellinger ever shaves his beard. 

The seven pictures below are great examples of what we set out to accomplish with our new Instagram account. We hope you enjoy scrolling through them and hope to see some of your comments!

1. Transmission Testing

Every rebuilt transmission undergoes vigorous testing on our Dyno bench overseen by our seasoned, factory trained mechanics and is backed by our 6-month warranty.
