Wear Plate Specialist Vs. Order Taker

JADCO • Rich F.2023-10-24T13:26:01-04:00

Get Exactly What You Need To Make Your Installation Easier

It is easy to tell a “Wear Plate Specialist” from an “Order Taker.”

The Wear Plate Specialist:

The Wear Plate Specialist will collaboratively work with you, asking plenty of questions to fullyunderstand exactly what you need.

They’ll ask the following questions:

  • How is your wear plate used, and how long does it currently last in your application?
  • What have you tried in the past and how did that work?
  • What installation criteria must be considered?
  • How can we make it easy for future repairs or replacement?
  • Have you compared different material options for the longest wear life for your investment?
  • Have you verified what the finished product will look like and how it will perform, before you write a purchase order?

With the above items answered and confirmed, you should now have the confidence that what will be delivered is exactly what you need to resolve your ongoing challenges.

The Order Taker:

The Order Taker, by comparison, will often quote the material where they make the best profit, and leave it up to you to figure out if it will work in your application.

They’ll ask the following questions:

  • What do you wish to purchase?
  • What size do you need?
  • How do you wish to pay?
  • Where and when do you want it delivered?

What would you prefer?

Partner with the company that helps you solve your wear problems!

Client Issue

This sawdust elbow wears out frequently and is in a difficult location. Working with JADCO, we designed a flat back elbow for longer life and easier maintenance to fit their specific location. It is currently in production.

This specific application required:

  • Reduction in the number of components
  • This limited access location requires a crane to install
  • Longer lasting materials for major wear locations
  • Reduced cost replacement components rather than replacing the entire elbow assembly each time.

Asking Better Questions

This is why JADCO customers often mention they are initially surprised when our sales professionals ask more questions than any competitors. This is critical to assure you receive exactly what you want and need.

  • 1. Fits like the original or better
  • 2. Lasts longer than the original
  • 3. Delivers more ROI for your budget

What wear headaches would you like to control?  Connect with a JADCO Wear Plate Specialist for your next order, and understand the difference.

Contact JADCO today for straight talk to finally take control of your abrasion and impact requirements

For over the last 43+ years JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer equipment life for our customers.

Now you understand why we are able to deliver better results to our customers.  We think differently by strictly focusing to improve your current results.

Allow us to help you improve your hardfacing results today by calling (724) 452-5252, or email info@jadcomfg.com. 

We will schedule a meeting with one of our local wear plate specialists at a time that best fits your schedule.

Remember, the only thing you have to lose by not working with JADCO, are your profits.
