Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT WPI

What is the history of WPI?
Founded in 1924 by Louis Pearce Sr., Waukesha-Pearce Industries (WPI) has grown through four generations of family ownership with a commitment to finding the best ways to care for employees’ and customers’ needs. Now approaching 100 years in business, WPI continues to uphold its founding vision. WPI operates through two main divisions: Construction & Mining Division and Engine Division, each serving distinctly different markets while sharing common ground in customer service excellence.
What industries does WPI serve?
WPI provides tailored equipment solutions for diverse industries including construction, mining, forestry, infrastructure, energy, oil & gas, drilling, and power generation. We understand the unique challenges of each sector and offer specialized machinery, parts, and services designed to meet industry-specific requirements. Our experts in technical services, sales, and engineering ensure you receive industry-leading support, regardless of your specialized application or operational environment.
What geographic areas does WPI serve?

WPI operates through two divisions with different geographic reach:

Construction & Mining Division: Focuses on Texas, Louisiana, and Southern Arkansas with 20 strategically-positioned branch locations for prompt local service and support.

Engine Division: Maintains a nationwide presence across the U.S., plus parts of Canada, with multiple locations ready to serve your power generation and drilling support needs across North America.

HOW TO BUY

What types of parts does Construction & Mining supply?

WPI offers both OEM and aftermarket parts for all equipment brands:

OEM Parts: Original equipment manufacturer parts meeting exact specifications, with most Komatsu parts available within 24 hours.

Aftermarket Parts: Economical alternatives including Ground Engaging Tools (GET), wear parts, rubber tracks, hydraulic hoses, buckets, teeth, blades, and wear protection products from manufacturers like Hensley and ESCO. We also supply attachments, couplers, tools, breakers, consumables (oil, coolant, grease, filters), and components such as batteries, A/C parts, starters, alternators, and compressors for all makes and models.

WARRANTY & COVERAGE

What warranty and coverage options does Construction & Mining offer?

WPI provides comprehensive warranty and coverage options at every stage of equipment ownership:

Standard Warranty: All new equipment comes with manufacturer’s standard warranty. Our factory-certified technicians deliver consistent, high-quality service backed by our Service Pro® real-time communication system.

Extended Coverage Programs: We offer Komatsu Care and other extended coverage options that extend equipment life, increase resale value, and protect against unexpected wear. These programs help provide peace of mind with predictable operating costs and protect your investment. Our team helps you select the coverage that best fits your equipment usage patterns and budget.

Preventive Maintenance Programs: The KOWA (Komatsu Oil & Wear Analysis) program provides ongoing monitoring to detect problems before costly breakdowns occur, helping extend equipment life while reducing maintenance emergencies.

Used Equipment Coverage: All used equipment undergoes rigorous inspection and is backed by the same dedicated and proactive customer service and warranty coverage as new equipment. We stand behind every used piece we sell.

We help protect your investment and ensure predictable operating costs through the right combination of these options. Our team will help you select the coverage that fits your specific needs.

SPECIALIZED & DETAILED INFORMATION

How does KOWA (Komatsu Oil & Wear Analysis) work?

KOWA is an oil analysis program that monitors your equipment’s wear patterns to predict maintenance needs before problems develop. This proven preventive maintenance system analyzes oil samples to detect wear indicators and potential issues, helping you:

  • Detect problems before they cause costly breakdowns
  • Predict maintenance needs proactively
  • Reduce emergency repairs and downtime
  • Extend equipment life
  • Maintain predictable operating costs
  • Protect your investment

KOWA has been the industry standard for over 40 years and is one of the most effective ways to maximize equipment uptime and minimize operating costs. Our technicians analyze the results and provide recommended action plans based on reliable data.
