Contract Storage and Maintenance

Inman Electric Motors provides a unique service for our customers. Inman Electric Motors will store and maintain the complete spare motor inventory for major industrial users.

We currently store and maintain over 5,000 spare motors owned by 40 individual manufacturing plants located throughout the Midwest. When a customer experiences a motor failure, Inman Electric Motors delivers a spare motor from their inventory. The failed motor is repaired and returned to the customer’s inventory at Inman’s facility. Motors are stored and documented according to TMEIC standards as well as customer and manufacturers specifications.

Each motor is entered into Inman’s computer database. The database record includes the complete nameplate information such as horsepower, frame, serial number, etc. It includes the customer’s equipment or stock number and the crib location at Inman. The database also includes a maintenance record for each individual motor. Each month the shaft of every individual motor is rotated. Spare motors are meggered semiannually. Motors above 100 horsepower are tested at full voltage annually. Every spare motor repaired by Inman Electric Motors is warranted from the date of installation regardless of the length of time of storage. Motor storage and maintenance ensures the reliability of all spare motors as well as alleviating space and handling requirements at the plant site. Spare motors are delivered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
