Engine Repowers and Equipment Retrofit Services

RMA has secured millions of dollars of grant funds for equipment owners, fleet operators and dealers, to replace and retrofit older diesel engines in offroad equipment and vehicles. If you own, operate or service diesel offroad equipment, we can help you to secure incentive funds to obtain new engines and retrofit devices. The following types of offroad equipment are included in these engine replacement programs:

• Construction equipment (dozers, scrapers, loaders, hoists, etc.)

• Agricultural equipment (tractors, harvesters, irrigation pumps, etc.)

• Marine vessels (propulsion engines, auxiliary engines)

• Power generators (primary and auxiliary power)

• Material handling (fork lifts, hoists, cranes, etc.)

• Other onroad and offroad equipment (trucks, locomotives, etc.)

These incentive programs are a great way for fleet owners and operators to modernize their equipment at very low cost. The grant programs often cover 75% or more of the cost to replace an older diesel engine with a new modern engine (for fully qualifying equipment with sufficient annual use). The purpose of these grant funds is to reduce air pollution and improve fuel economy, and to help equipment owners modernize their fleets in advance of upcoming regulations. Access to grant funding is competitive and not all qualified equipment will be funded.

Ryerson, Master and Associates, Inc. is one of the leading companies in the field of engine replacement and retrofits. We work with engines and equipment manufactured by Cummins, John Deere, Perkins and other companies. By installing new engines, the value of your equipment can be increased, and your fuel and maintenance costs are often reduced. We provide a broad range of services for equipment owners, operators and dealers, including:

• Pre-screening of diesel equipment for grant eligibility

• Preparation of all grant application paperwork

• Advice on the correct new engine to replace the existing engine

• Identification of required parts and process to install the new engine

• Identification of dealers and suppliers to replace the engine

RMA has extensive project experience securing diesel engine grants and managing the replacement of diesel engines in a wide range of offroad fleets. A few examples of our experience are listed below:

• RMA designed and implemented an extensive program to replace diesel engines in agricultural equipment operating in a three-county central California region. Over 100 new engines were supplied to agricultural operators during the program.

• RMA secured the funding and managed implementation of a large engine replacement project in which supplied over 50 new engines for fork lifts, tractors and pumps.

• RMA developed an innovative program to mitigate power plant pollution by replacing old diesel engines in marine vessels, construction equipment and agricultural equipment in the region. RMA secured the funds, entered into project agreements with the equipment owners and dealers, completed all required paperwork. This program exceed all program targets, both in terms of total emission reductions and number of engines replaced.
