What types of Poclain hydraulic motors can you repair?
We repair all Poclain radial piston motor series including MS, MSE, and legacy models across various displacement sizes. Our capabilities cover Poclain motors used in excavators, mining haul trucks, forestry equipment, material handling machines, and specialized construction equipment. We handle both fixed and variable displacement configurations, multi-speed motors, and integrated brake motors. If you're unsure whether we service your specific Poclain model, contact us with your motor nameplate data or serial number for confirmation.
How long does a typical Poclain motor repair take?
Standard Poclain motor rebuilds typically require 5-7 business days from receipt to completion, including disassembly, inspection, machining (if needed), parts replacement, reassembly, and full performance testing. However, we offer expedited services for critical breakdowns—emergency repairs can often be completed in 2-3 days with prioritization. Our exchange program provides the fastest turnaround, with remanufactured Poclain motors shipping the same day or next business day if we have your model in stock. Transit time depends on your location.
Do you offer a warranty on Poclain motor repairs?
Yes, all Poclain motor repairs include a comprehensive 1-year warranty covering parts and workmanship. This warranty protects you against premature seal failure, internal component defects, or performance issues related to our rebuild process. We also offer a full money-back guarantee if the repaired motor doesn't meet OEM performance specifications upon installation. Our warranty does not cover damage from contaminated hydraulic fluid, improper installation, or operation outside the motor's rated specifications. Detailed warranty terms are provided with every repair invoice.
What causes Poclain hydraulic motors to fail?
The most common Poclain motor failures result from hydraulic fluid contamination—metal particles, dirt, and degraded fluid damage precision seals, pistons, and cam rings. Other frequent causes include excessive system pressure spikes that overload internal components, cavitation from inadequate case drain flow, and bearing wear from extended operation beyond service intervals. Overheating due to blocked cooling passages or running the motor at sustained high RPM also accelerates wear. Regular hydraulic fluid analysis, proper filtration, and adherence to Poclain's maintenance schedules significantly extend motor life and prevent catastrophic failures.
Can you supply replacement parts for older Poclain motor models?
Yes, we maintain an extensive inventory of Poclain replacement parts including seal kits, pistons, bearings, cam rings, and drive components for current and discontinued motor series. Our parts sourcing network includes OEM suppliers and specialty manufacturers who produce aftermarket components meeting Poclain specifications. Even for legacy motors no longer supported by Poclain, we can often source or machine critical parts. For obsolete models, we may recommend remanufactured assemblies or equivalent modern replacements if original parts are unavailable. Contact us with your motor model and serial number for parts availability confirmation.
How much does Poclain motor repair cost?
Poclain motor repair costs vary based on motor size, displacement, damage severity, and parts requirements. A basic seal kit replacement on a small MS motor may cost $800-$1,500, while a complete rebuild of a large MSE motor with extensive internal wear can range from $3,500-$8,000. Exchange motors often provide cost savings versus full rebuilds. We provide detailed written quotes after inspecting your motor and identifying all necessary repairs. Our quotes include parts, labor, testing, and warranty—with no hidden fees. Call 800-361-0028 or email for a free, no-obligation repair estimate based on your specific motor model and symptoms.
Do you offer exchange motors for Poclain units?
Yes, our exchange program provides fully remanufactured Poclain motors as immediate replacements for failed units. Exchange motors are rebuilt to OEM specifications, tested under load, and ready to install. This option minimizes downtime since you receive a working motor immediately while we rebuild your core. Exchange pricing includes a core charge refunded when you return your failed motor. We maintain exchange inventory for common Poclain MS and MSE series motors. If we don't have your exact model in stock, we can often provide a functionally equivalent replacement or prioritize rebuilding your core for rapid turnaround.
Can you diagnose Poclain motor problems remotely?
While final diagnosis requires physical inspection, we can often identify likely failure modes based on your symptoms and operating conditions. Common indicators include loss of power or torque (worn pistons or cam ring), unusual noise or vibration (bearing failure), external leaks (seal damage), and overheating (case drain restriction). Before shipping your motor, describe the symptoms, operating hours since last service, and any recent hydraulic system changes. This information helps us prepare for the repair and estimate costs. For complex diagnostics, we can arrange phone consultations with our senior technicians to troubleshoot system-level issues that may be causing motor problems.
