On-Demand Part Swap Program for Fleets

Keep your fleet running with HTI’s On-Demand Part Swap Program. For operators with multiple vessels, vehicles, or power units, HTI can inventory commonly replaced insulated components so you can swap parts quickly and reduce service lead time.

This program is designed for fleets that service similar equipment repeatedly over time and want faster turnaround on insulated components.

Who This Program Is For

  • Marine fleet operators (towboats, workboats, barges)
  • Power generation operators managing standardized packages
  • Industrial operators with multiple similar engine platforms
  • Maintenance teams managing scheduled overhauls and rotating spares

What You Get

Pre-Stocked Inventory (By Agreement)

HTI maintains inventory for a defined list of commonly replaced components based on your fleet profile and service cadence.

Swap-Ready Availability

When a unit needs service, request a replacement from the agreed inventory set so maintenance is not waiting on a repeat build cycle.

Replenishment Workflow

Returned components are processed per the agreed workflow so inventory remains available for upcoming maintenance intervals.

How the Program Works

Step 1: Fleet assessment call

Identify platforms, duty cycle, common replacement drivers, and maintenance intervals.

Step 2: Parts list and standardization

Confirm part numbers, revisions, and the commonly replaced set.

Step 3: Build and stock

HTI insulates and stocks the agreed quantities per component.

Step 4: Swap event

You request a swap and HTI ships the replacement per the agreed method.

Step 5: Return and replenish

Returned components are processed and inventory is replenished to the agreed minimum.

Program details depend on part types, fleet variability, and stocking quantities.

Parts That Typically Fit a Swap Program

High-frequency service items with repeatable geometry
Components where insulation integrity and fit matter for safety and durability
Parts that benefit from having a ready-to-install spare

Example Program: Ingram Barge

HTI has implemented an on-demand parts approach to support repeat servicing needs across a fleet. The program is structured around identifying commonly replaced components and maintaining agreed inventory levels to reduce turnaround time when parts need service.

FAQ

Do we need identical equipment across the fleet?

No. The program works best when there is a repeatable subset of parts, even if your fleet includes multiple platforms.

How do we decide what to stock?

We start from your service history and identify the most frequently replaced components. From that list, we recommend a starting inventory set.

Do you require minimum quantities?

Inventory levels are set by agreement based on your maintenance cadence and the parts selected.

How fast can swaps ship?

Shipping timing depends on inventory status and logistics. The goal is to avoid repeat build lead time for the parts we stock.

Can we start small?

Yes. Start with a short list of high-frequency parts, then expand after the first service cycles.
