The Lincoln Service Centers were founded by the Delco Division of General Motors in the early nineteen seventies.At that time, most plants carried their own spare motor inventory without sharing with other plants in the area. It was decided that each plant in a geographical area would donate all of the spares to a common inventory operated by Delco. This allowed GM to greatly reduce duplication in their spares and lowered the cost of keeping a backup inventory. This allowed Delco Service Centers to accumulate a huge inventory of various types of motors, most likely the largest in the nation.A plant would contact the Service Center when they had a failed motor, the Service Center would exchange the failed motor with a good one and repair the failed motor to be put back on the shelf for the next time it was needed.To compliment our exchange service, we offer a motor management program for your facility. It is not uncommon to find a plant's spare motors in questionable condition, so it is important these motors be evaluated before they are placed in service.Lincoln Service will remove your spare motors and evaluate their condition. After evaluation, your motors are stored at no cost plus your retain ownership and may remove them at any time.In the second phase of our program, we will inventory all of the motors you are presently using in your facility. The next step is to compare what motors you are using to our inventory; chances are we have most of the back-up motors you need, eliminating your need to purchase any. Back-up motors are just a phone call away.
