Perkins has opened its new online parts story, perkins.com/shop.
Targeted at machine owners, rental businesses, repair and engineering shops, and mobile service and repair engineers, the online shop lets U.S. customers of Perkins engines buy genuine Perkins parts over the internet.
Perkins.com/shop will initially offer quick, easy access to the most commonly ordered Perkins parts, including filters and service kits.
The site is easy to navigate, so customers can sort by engine series or product category, and search by part name or part number.
Each part has a full description and image, so customers can be confident they are ordering the correct part every time.
If a part isn’t currently available through perkins.com/shop, users will be able to register their interest in that product. The request will be passed on to the local Perkins distributor for follow up.
The online shop is supported by a new Perkins Regional Parts Distribution Center in Elizabethtown, Ky. Parts ordered through the online shop will benefit from quick shipping by air and road, depending on the customer’s preference, direct from the Kentucky warehouse.
“We are making significant new investments in our aftermarket offering, giving end users quick access to genuine Perkins parts, up to date information on their engine, and service and support from their local Perkins distributor,” said Aftermarket Director Michael Wright. “The launch of the shop is a key element of our strategy to enhance the service and support millions of Perkins end users already receive from our global network of trained Perkins distributors."
Wright added: “We know that many of our customers want to be able to easily order competitively priced genuine Perkins parts online. Following today’s launch of perkins.com/shop they will be able to obtain their genuine Perkins parts direct from the manufacturer.”
To support Perkins’ U.S. customers, the company is offering free ground shipment on all parts orders placed on the new perkins.com/shop between June 1, 2017, and June 30, 2017.
