Fast Shipping for Critical Downtime Situations

When equipment goes down, time matters.

We provide same-day shipping on most parts to help minimize downtime and keep your operations moving. Our team is responsive, efficient, and ready to act when urgency is high.

Warranty

Most parts are surplus or reclaimed and sold as-is, without a manufacturer warranty. Any transferable OEM warranty will be passed on where available.

KR Automation repairs include a 1-year warranty from the ship date. The warranty covers our labour and installed replacement parts. Third-party repairs will void the warranty.
