Since 1998 Travel Motors Direct has been one of NZ's foremost suppliers of genuine final drives and travel motors
Based in Te Puke and with more than 26 years of industry experience, owner Jeremy Rowland and his team have carved out a specialist niche in the excavator industry.
They’ve remained focused on excavator motion, specialising in providing genuine and OEM final drives and parts for excavators ranging from one to over 45 tonnes, coupled with Travel Motors Direct’s (TMD) trademark brand of customer service and a staunch commitment to quality.
With the same quality and specialist focus, TMD has recently expanded its offering to include slew bearings and slew assemblies.
Excavator owners will know how essential it is to rely on high-quality, genuine parts. Downtime can be costly, and cutting corners with inferior components often leads to much bigger problems down the line. The staff at TMD get this feedback daily, about diggers not tracking correctly, drives failing pre-maturely, and other completely avoidable issues. That’s where TMD steps in.
“Our team of seasoned experts is always ready to offer technical support and guidance, whether you’re selecting the right part or troubleshooting an issue,” says Jeremy.
“This is our main point of difference — when you call us, you get a real person, with years of experience and technical knowledge.
“If your final drive fails you, the first thing we’ll do is assess it to determine if we can rebuild it. We use a top-of-the-line lapping table for the ultra-precise reconditioning of hydraulic motor components. Our goal is to get you going again as quickly as possible, and with our purpose-built final drive rebuild facility, we can rebuild your final drive in-house with minimal downtime for your excavator.”
TMD’s commitment is to get every digger moving again quickly and efficiently, ensuring owners can maintain peak performance, day in and day out.
“We have a range of final drive solutions including rebuilt, genuine, and OEM, and every product is backed by an industry-leading warranty (ranging from two to three years depending on brand and application), offering peace of mind that your investment is well-protected,” says Jeremy.
“We know that every machine is unique. That’s why our final drives are fully customisable to meet the specific demands of your equipment, giving you the best possible fit for your application.
“If your OEM final drive is not performing or hasn’t lasted as long as you think it should, no problem. With our experience, we can customise final drives to outperform substandard OEM final drives or offer a better-quality final drive to help get the most value for money when faced with the replacement of such a key hydraulic component.”
With thousands of parts in stock in their Te Puke facility, TMD says they offer swift shipping, meaning machinery gets back to work faster, minimising delays and lost productivity.
