Columbia Industries Equipment Refurbishment Program

Extend the life-cycle of your Columbia equipment with full inspections and repairs

Our Tipper Program Offers Custom Evaluation and Repair

Columbia recognizes the needs of our customers to ensure their equipment is being maintained in a manner that provides the safest, most efficient means of handling waste, recyclables and aggregate materials. We also understand the impacts of downtime on the customer and the need to limit capital investment through proper maintenance and repair practices.

Our equipment is built to last for an extended period of time when operated as designed and properly cared for. As such, Columbia is committed to a program that allows our customers to extend the life of Columbia Tippers and has developed a program where our Field Service Representatives (FSR) inspect, evaluate and recommend necessary repairs to operating and damaged/off-line Columbia equipment.

Columbia has two factory locations. One in Hillsboro, Oregon and one in Starkville, Mississippi. Each of these locations is available to perform your refurbishment.

Our 5 Easy Step Refurbishment Process

Columbia pioneered the tipper market and has been offering various generations of this product for over 40 years. Columbia fully understands the items critical to the safe and efficient operation of its products. We take great pride in making sure the customer is kept apprised of the overall condition of their equipment throughout the life-cycle, and we look to assist in providing solutions when shortcomings are noted. Our FSRs are trained to inspect all areas for age-related stresses, non-conforming maintenance practices, and conformity to product updates, as well as to recommend upgrades to achieve efficiency gains. We are the best partner to have when making recommendations for extending the life cycle of your Columbia equipment, and we provide you with results that not only satisfy but surpass your expectations.

These are the steps of the Tipper Inspection Process

  1. Customer contacts Columbia and requests FSR inspection.
  2. If requested, Sales provides a quote for inspection.
  3. FSR receives PO authority to inspect the facility’s tipper(s).
  4. FSR documents all issues noted on tipper(s) via Inspection Report and through photo depiction.
  5. FSR provides inspection documentation to Columbia Engineering for review and approval.
  6. Sales/FSR delivers documentation to facilities personnel (and others if requested). This documentation will include any recommendations for repair of minor items, parts or a full refurbishment.
  7. Sales group will follow up to see what services or parts Columbia can offer to bring the equipment back to operational readiness.

Used Tipper: For a tipper to be considered a “Used Columbia Tipper” all of the components need to be inspected and either verified in good working order or replaced with Columbia Certified Components by a Columbia Certified Facility. These are the main components for overall safety and function of our tippers while working in the landfills.

These components may include the following: :

  • Deck Cylinders
  • Outrigger Cylinders
  • Lights
  • Tire Guides
  • Weld Repairs
  • All Bearings (universals, trunnions, rear pivot)
  • Handrail
  • Chutes
  • Rotating Backstop
  • Rotating Handrail (if applicable)
  • Restrainers
  • Hydraulic Lines (Hard and Soft)

From the information below, a customer can determine what Level ( Factory Certified, Level 1, and Level 2), they may wish to refurbish their Tipper.

  • Customers may choose to add, service or replace components on level 1, 2,3 basis, provided that all service occurs at the same time
  • Pricing below does not include labor hours.
  • Columbia is voluntarily providing estimated labor hours based on our history of service of this equipment. These are good faith estimates that are subject to variability depending on service location and condition of equipment.
