The CPOWER PROMISE

Written by bsnyder on July 24, 2026. Posted in Maintenance & Repair, Services.

Unexpected equipment downtime affects more than just your machine, it can impact your entire business. When equipment is out of service, projects fall behind schedule, crews wait, and every hour spent waiting loses you money.

Just as important, downtime affects the commitments you’ve made to your own customers. Whether you’re building a commercial site, installing utilities, or completing a homeowner’s landscaping project, your customers are counting on you to finish the job on time. Delays can lead to missed deadlines, scheduling conflicts, and a customer experience that falls short of expectations.

Equipment Repair Service

Why Preventative Maintenance Matters

Construction equipment operates in some of the toughest conditions imaginable. Dust, mud, rocks, vibration, heavy loads, and extreme temperatures all take a toll on critical components. Over time, these harsh jobsite conditions can accelerate wear, reduce performance, and increase the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.

Routine preventative maintenance helps keep equipment operating reliably by replacing worn service items, inspecting key components, and identifying potential issues before they become costly repairs. Catching problems early not only extends the life of your equipment but also helps reduce downtime and keep projects on schedule.

At Central Power Systems & Services, our Preventative Maintenance Program is performed by factory-trained technicians with the experience to recognize the early signs of wear on construction equipment. Their expertise, combined with genuine OEM parts and a commitment to quality service, helps keep your machines running reliably so you can focus on getting the job done.

How Routine Truck Fleet Maintenance Can Save You Money in the Long Run

Written by Craig Allen on August 12, 2022. Posted in Allison Transmission, Detroit, Maintenance & Repair, On-Highway, Services.

Truck fleets are a vital part of many businesses, and keeping them running smoothly is essential to ensuring that your business can operate efficiently. While it may seem like an unnecessary expense to perform routine maintenance on your trucks, doing so can save you money in the long run by avoiding more costly repairs. Neglecting to maintain your truck fleet can lead to several problems, including decreased fuel efficiency, increased wear and tear, and eventually, major mechanical issues. By following some simple tips for routine maintenance, you can keep your truck fleet in top condition and avoid costly repairs down the road.

Why routine maintenance is important for truck fleets

Routine maintenance is important for truck fleets for several reasons.

First, it helps to ensure that the vehicles are safe to operate. A well-maintained truck is less likely to experience a mechanical failure or break down, which could pose a danger to the driver and other road users.
Second, routine maintenance can help to improve fuel efficiency. Regularly servicing and tune-ups can help to keep the engine running smoothly, which can lead to significant savings on fuel costs.
Finally, routine maintenance can help to extend the life of the vehicles. By regularly checking and replacing worn parts, fleet owners can avoid expensive repairs and keep their trucks on the road for longer.

In conclusion, routine maintenance is essential for any truck fleet, providing safety, and financial and operational benefits.

How neglecting maintenance can lead to costly repairs

Although it may be tempting to cut corners on fleet maintenance to save money in the short term, neglecting regular maintenance can lead to far more costly repairs down the line. By keeping up with scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes and engine tune-ups, you can help to extend the life of your vehicles and avoid major breakdowns. Also, regular maintenance can help to improve fuel efficiency and prevent environmental damage. In contrast, neglecting maintenance can result in a host of problems, including decreased performance, increased emissions, and a shortened lifespan for your vehicles. In the end, investing in fleet maintenance is essential for maintaining a healthy and efficient fleet.

Tips for maintaining your truck fleet

As any truck fleet manager knows, keeping trucks on the road is essential for maintaining a successful business. However, trucks are expensive to operate and require regular maintenance to stay in good condition. Here are a few tips for keeping your truck fleet running smoothly:

Inspect your trucks regularly. It’s important to catch problems early so that they can be fixed before they cause major damage. Make sure to check fluid levels, tire pressure, and brakes regularly.
Keep up with scheduled maintenance. This includes oil changes, tune-ups, and other scheduled services. Keeping up with maintenance will help your trucks last longer and run more efficiently.
Use quality parts and products. When it comes time to replace parts or add new products, be sure to use quality items that are designed for heavy-duty use. Cheap replacements may save you money in the short term, but they will likely cause more problems down the road.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your truck fleet is always in top condition.

Transmission Service: Why It’s Important for Commercial Vehicles

Written by Craig Allen on July 26, 2022. Posted in Allison Transmission, Detroit, Maintenance & Repair, On-Highway, Services.

If you’re a business owner, then you know that keeping your vehicles on the road is essential to your success. But did you know that regular transmission service is one of the most important things you can do to keep your vehicles running smoothly? Here’s what you need to know about transmission service and how it can benefit your business.

The importance of transmission service for commercial vehicles

Routine service is essential for commercial vehicles for several reasons.

First, transmission fluid helps to keep the transmission cool and lubricated, reducing wear and tear on the system.
Second, maintenance services can help to identify potential problems before they cause major damage. By catching potential issues early, transmission services can save businesses a significant amount of money in repairs.
Finally, transmission service can help to prolong the life of a commercial vehicle.

By maintaining the transmission in good condition, businesses can avoid the need to purchase a new vehicle prematurely. For all these reasons, transmission service is an important part of keeping commercial vehicles running efficiently and effectively.

What to expect from a Central Power service visit

When you bring your vehicle in for routine service, the technician will start by inspecting the fluid. If the fluid is low or dirty, they will drain and refill it. They will also check the transmission filter to see if it needs to be replaced. In some cases, they may need to remove the transmission pan to inspect or clean the components inside. The technician will also test drive the car to listen for any unusual sounds or issues with shifting. If any repairs are needed, they will provide you with an estimate before proceeding. With proper care and maintenance, your transmission can last for many years. By having regular service visits, you can help keep your commercial vehicle running smoothly.

How often should you have your Allison Transmission serviced

Transmission service is an important part of keeping your Allison Transmission in good working condition. Regular service helps to remove harmful deposits from the transmission fluid, and it also helps to keep the fluid at the correct level. Your service should be performed every 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. If you use your Allison Transmission for heavy-duty applications, then you may need to have the transmission maintenance more frequently. Routine service is a relatively simple and inexpensive procedure, so there’s no reason not to keep your Allison Transmission in top condition. Consistent service is an essential part of keeping your commercial vehicles running smoothly. By having regular service visits, you can help to extend the life of your transmission and avoid costly repairs. If you use your Allison Transmission for heavy-duty applications, then you may need to have the transmission serviced more frequently. No matter how often you need service, it’s important to keep your Allison Transmission in top condition. If you’re looking for quality service, then look no further than Central Power Systems & Services. Our team of experienced technicians will provide you with the quality service you need to keep your car running smoothly. Contact us today to schedule a service visit.

Preventative Generator Maintenance Keeps Your Equipment Running Smoothly

Written by Craig Allen on July 15, 2022. Posted in Critical Power, Maintenance & Repair, mtu , Oil and Gas, Portable Power, Power Generation, Services.

As a business owner, you know that unexpected power outages can be a real inconvenience. Not only do they interrupt your workday, but they can also cause damage to your equipment. That’s why it’s important to have a backup power plan in place, and one of the most important components of any backup plan is a generator. If you’re using a generator to keep your business running during an outage, it’s important to make sure that it’s properly maintained. By keeping up with preventive maintenance, you can ensure that your generator will be ready when you need it.

Generator maintenance is critical for keeping your mobile power generation equipment running smoothly

As with any complex piece of machinery, regular maintenance is critical for keeping your mobile power generation equipment running smoothly. By following a few simple steps, you can ensure that your generator will be ready to provide power when you need it most.

First, always keep the fuel tank full. This will help to prevent moisture from condensing inside the tank and damaging the fuel system.
Second, regularly check the oil level and change the oil according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. This will help to keep the engine clean and free of debris.
Finally, be sure to check the battery regularly and clean the terminals to prevent corrosion.

By taking these simple steps, you can keep your generator in top condition and ensure that it will be there when you need it most.

Regularly scheduled maintenance will help to extend the life of your generator and keep it running at peak performance

Generators are a vital part of any business or home emergency plan, providing power in the event of an outage. However, generators require regular maintenance to ensure they are running properly and will be able to meet your needs when you need them most. A generator that is not regularly serviced may break down when you need it the most, leaving you without power and potentially costing you a great deal of money in repairs. By contrast, a generator that receives regular maintenance will have a much longer lifespan and will be much less likely to experience a breakdown. Furthermore, maintaining your generator will help to ensure that it is always running at peak performance, providing you with the power you need when you need it. As such, regularly scheduled maintenance is essential for keeping your generator in good working condition.

Generator maintenance is an important part of keeping your generator running at peak performance. A regular maintenance schedule can help to extend the life of your generator and keep it in good condition for years to come. We encourage you to contact us today to learn more about our generator maintenance services and how we can help you keep your equipment running smoothly.

What Do You Know About Tier 4 Regulations?

Written by Craig Allen on March 3, 2022. Posted in Critical Power, Maintenance & Repair, mtu , Off-Highway, Power Generation, Power Supply, PowerForce, Services.

The world is going green, and with it, there is a bevy of environmental regulations that mobile and standby generator operators need to know. Fortunately, at this point, almost all systems in the United States are compliant with Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4 regulations. These were gradually phased in starting in 1996 and ending in 2017. But, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check to confirm compliance before you assume you are already compliant. This is a mistake that could end up costing you a hefty fine and an unexpected maintenance bill.

Exemptions for Emergency Standby Generators

Tier 2 and Tier 3 standards were rather rigorous and resulted in more than 85% emissions reduction for emergency standby generator systems. This dramatic improvement, coupled with the minimal use emergency standby generators’ performance in hospitals, disaster response, commercial operations, etc., convinced regulators to grant Tier 4 exemptions to emergency standby generator operators. This exemption excludes those that use the generator for prime power, rate curtailment, and storm avoidance.

However, not all state and local governments agreed with this exemption, and some currently require operators to confirm Tier 4 compliance. Thus, you will want to check with your state and municipal government to determine whether that applies to your operations.

Where Tier 4 Applies

In short, Tier 4 applies if your mobile or standby generator doesn’t qualify as an emergency system. This means that systems used for agricultural production, food production, most commercial enterprises, construction, forestry, oil and gas production, etc., must be Tier 4 compliant.

Tier 4 regulations apply to all generator sets with greater than 751 HP. These standards were gradually implemented beginning in 2011 and through 2015, after which all generator sets produced and/or operated in the US must comply with Tier 4F emission standards. The following emission standards are currently in effect for diesel generators.

Exhaust Constituent	Tier 4i (752 – 1,207 HP)	Tier 4i (< 1,207 HP)	Tier 4F (>752 HP)
NOx	3.50	.67	.67
HC	.40	.40	.19
CO	3.50	3.50	3.50
PM	.10	.10	.03

Are More Regulations on the Horizon?

This is one of the most common questions we receive, and the answer is “maybe, but not likely.” Legislators in California are considering regulations to reduce emissions standards dramatically. Support in EU countries is growing to introduce new standards that would essentially eliminate the sale and use of combustion engines. It’s a fluid environment when it comes to the future of environmentally focused regulations.

That said, Tier 4 regulations are the most rigorous ever established in the United States. So when it comes to the diesel engine on your generator, we don’t expect any significant changes in the near future. 5, 10, 15 years down the road? Probably, but by then, it will be time to replace your current generator anyway.

If your diesel generator is overdue for service, or you need to check the emissions to ensure you are Tier 4 compliant, contact the team at Central Power Systems & Services. It is our pleasure to schedule a service appointment to inspect your generator, perform preventative maintenance, test the emissions, and more.

When To Get Drivetrain and Powertrain Remanufacturing

Written by Craig Allen on February 1, 2022. Posted in Maintenance & Repair, On-Highway, Remanufacture.

Your drivetrain and powertrain are critical, and when either fails, it will leave your equipment and vehicles idling fruitless until repaired or replaced. This loss of precious time can put you behind schedule and over budget. Worse still, it can delay what your clients depend on you to deliver. Therefore, when it comes to your drivetrain and powertrain, we recommend investing the time and resources required to remanufacture them rather than spending resources and wasting time when they fail.

When To Remanufacture a Drivetrain or Powertrain

Your drivetrain will alert you to emerging problems that require prompt attention. Common signs that your drivetrain is damaged include persistent vibration and/or shuddering, irregular sounds, difficulty turning the vehicle, fluid leaks, grinding noises, difficulty putting the vehicle into gear, or diminished performance.

Similarly, your powertrain will warn you that it’s time for service. In addition to slipped gears and burning smells, fluid leaks, grinding, shaking, and odd noises can all signal a powertrain that’s on its last gear.

The drivetrain and powertrain remanufacturing process will resolve these issues and more. It is an effective alternative to replacement or continual investment in ongoing repairs. Most importantly, prompt and proper remanufacturing can protect your vehicle from further damage and preserve its ability to generate the revenue your business needs to remain profitable.

The Benefits of Remanufacturing Your Drivetrain or Powertrain

We completely disassemble the affected component, whether it’s your transmission, engine, axle, wheels, differential, or other damaged component. This allows us to determine which elements of the component are salvageable, and which need to be replaced. Our thorough approach to drivetrain and powertrain remanufacturing allows us to deliver an end product that is sturdy, durable, and nearly identical to one fresh from the assembly line. Most importantly, our remanufactured components meet or exceed the performance level of a factory-manufactured replacement.

Because of the thorough remanufacturing processes we perform, all finished components will be free of rust and corrosion, and all defective or worn-out parts will be replaced. We also do far more than simply replace damaged and worn-out components, we perform the additional machining and inspections necessary to ensure the remanufactured item is completed and delivered to factory specifications. This means that the end product will be built to go the distance. You will enjoy the same performance and operation as an OEM system.

Finally, roughly 80% to 85% of the material is saved and reused. This minimizes the environmental impact of the process and results in an efficient, eco-friendly procedure. It is a fast and effective process that will help “green up” your fleet.

Our Remanufacturing Process

Our teams are highly trained specialists who will carefully disassemble the damaged system. We will note any deficiencies and damaged components and compile a thorough report of the elements that require machining and the components that require replacing. Once we compile a detailed report on the condition, we will draft a remanufacturing plan to govern the remanufacturing process.

At Central Power Systems & Services, we thoroughly test and inspect each component for fit and function throughout the remanufacturing process. From start to finish, the remanufacturing process can take as little as a few days, or as long as a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the system and the amount of work that needs to be performed. As always, we will provide a thorough summary of the work we need to do and provide a timeline for delivering the finished component(s).

Contact Central Power Systems & Services to learn more about the drivetrain and powertrain remanufacturing services we provide for light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles.

Routine Maintenance Protects Your Fleet From Deadly Disasters

Next to personnel, your fleet vehicles are likely your most valuable asset. As a fleet operator, it is your duty to protect both from harm as they traverse the millions of miles of American roads. Whether they are hauling cargo across the plains or mounting an expedition across the Teton, Rocky, or Appalachian Mountains, it’s your job to make sure they deliver their cargo safe and sound.

Routine maintenance is the key that keeps your vehicles moving forward. From the brake systems to the transmission and the engine to the lights, the Central Power Systems & Services team is here to ensure that the maintenance you need is done on time and on budget. We will use every bit of our expertise in fleet maintenance to make sure your vehicles are ready to go the distance.

Brakes Are the Foundation of Your Fleet

While your drivers are eager to keep cruising down the road to finish their deliveries, at some point, they’re going to have to stop. Whether it’s traffic, truck stops, or delivery destinations, there is comfort and confidence in the knowledge that your brakes are in proper working order.

At Central Power Systems & Services, we thoroughly inspect, test, and service every component in your brake systems.
