During a typical bucket / blade repair, certain components are no longer deemed capable of being returned to service. Allied keeps a large inventory of make-up buckets in stock, and is able to sell the customer the appropriate bucket in order to complete the set. This is an advantage over a stand alone repair facility in that the customer does not need to go to the marketplace to locate the items needed for the repair. Allied has these components in stock and is able to make the transaction much more convenient.
