Currently we o?er acomplete rebuild for both the CM Dual Speed andChip Shredder box which includes both the cutter boxand gear drive assembly. Over the years and with thousands of hours of runtime; shafts, bearings, seals and gears experience ex-tensive wear and if overlooked can cause major prob-lems or even stop operations completely. Before thishappens, consider the box swap as a cost e?cient al-ternative.With proper planning, CM will deliver a newly rebuiltbox to your location and remove your existing boxand place it on the same truck that your new unitcame in on. In the time it takes to remove the old box,place it on the trailer and pick up the new box fromthe same trailer and re-connect, you are back in busi-ness. On average, a planned Dual Speed swap re-assembly can be completed in 3-4 days and a Chipperswap in just one day. Recently, Joe Collard of Geocycle in Colorado Springs,CO swapped his Dual Speed Shredder box out for arebuilt unit and was quite pleased with the results.“From time of delivery of the rebuilt unit to beingback into full production was just 4 days” says Collard.“CM sent a technician to assist with the swap whichwas a huge help and I was glad to have a CM tech onsite for this type of installation” he added. Joe alsogives credit to Scott Wilson, CM Customer ServiceManager for all of his support and scheduling of theproject.To date, CM has rebuilt and delivered three “boxswaps” and has orders for 2 more coming up for endof year delivery.CM Cover ShotsCM made the front cover of two major industry pub-lications this summer.
