Heavy Equipment



Heavy equipment operates under intense conditions—ferrous debris sensors can detect early gear or bearing wear by monitoring oils, ensuring uptime and equipment longevity.

Product Support

OEM Customers

Every industry values reliability—but you don’t fully appreciate how crucial it is until a 50-ton machine goes down in the middle of a remote jobsite. When that happens, the cost isn’t just measured in parts and labor—it’s lost productivity, delayed timelines, and the enormous logistical challenge of moving and replacing heavy equipment.

Debris-related failures remain one of the most preventable causes of catastrophic damage in heavy machinery. Whether it's abrasive particles in hydraulic systems or early-stage wear in powertrain components, undetected debris can quickly take machines offline. KasperAero debris sensors offer OEMs a cost-effective and highly reliable solution for early fault detection. Built to withstand the punishing environments that heavy equipment operates in, these sensors are simple by design and robust by physics—delivering dependable performance without introducing unnecessary complexity.

With a low per-unit cost and proven reliability, KasperAero sensors are ideal for wide-scale integration across OEM platforms, helping manufacturers offer smarter, more resilient machines straight from the factory floor.

Equipment Owners & Operators

If you own or operate heavy equipment, you know the margin for error is razor thin. One catastrophic failure—a seized transmission, a blown hydraulic pump, or a contaminated final drive—is all it takes to derail an entire project. You're always one unexpected malfunction away from lost contracts, missed deadlines, or worse: long-term damage to your business.

That’s why more operators are rethinking what “reliable” really means. When investing in new equipment, it's worth asking: does this machine include the sensor that could save me tens of thousands of dollars?

KasperAero debris sensors are a game-changer for owners who can’t afford surprises. By detecting internal wear or contamination before it leads to a full-system failure, these sensors give you critical insight into your equipment's health—without adding complexity or maintenance burden. For the cost of a minor upgrade, you gain the peace of mind that comes with preventing major failures.

Whether you run a single backhoe or manage a fleet of dozers and dump trucks, protecting your investment starts with seeing problems before they surface. KasperAero helps you do just that—because downtime isn't just expensive, it's personal.
