RETROFIT & REMANUFACTURING SERVICES FOR STEERING SYSTEMS

Jastram Engineering Ltd.

• provides complete custom design and manufacturing of steering systems;
• provides complete retro-fitting of existing systems to bring them to current standards, with new and reconditioned parts, system repair, design and upgrades;
• warrants that all parts sold meet or exceed other original equipment manufacturer specifications;
• provides the fastest turn-around time in the industry!

Jastram claims particular expertise in the steering gear produced by the former Wagner Engineering Ltd.   Jastram's services include new and reconditioned parts, system repair, design and upgrades.

Where substituted parts are quoted in lieu of obsolete parts, Jastram warrants compatibility and interchangebility.
Obsolete items are parts, which:

1. Are no longer available from sub-suppliers (example:  original Vickers hydraulic solenoid valves are not manufactured anymore and are superseded by an updated version), or
2. Changed due to technical improvements.  (example:  original Wagner lockvalve body was made of aluminum, now it is made of cast iron)
