Powershift

What Powershift does

Powershift, Inc. is an independent industrial and commercial transmission rebuild facility founded in 1989 and headquartered in Henderson, Colorado. The company operates from a 12,000 SF industrial building equipped with five rebuild workstations, two bridge cranes, and six jib cranes, dedicated exclusively to transmission rebuilding. As an independent rebuild facility (not an authorized dealer for any OEM), Powershift services transmissions from multiple manufacturers including Allison, CAT, Clark, Funk, John Deere, Komatsu, Twin Disc, Volvo, and ZF. Core offerings include time-and-materials rebuild services for customer-owned units, exchange transmissions (rebuilt and dynamometer-tested), and a multi-OEM parts inventory of new, surplus, aftermarket, and used components with prices ranging from approximately $2 to $18,000+. The company also offers deep cryogenic processing at -320°F as a proprietary treatment, claiming 15-20% durability increases and 8-25% greater load capacity for treated gears and shafts.

Powershift generates revenue through three streams: professional services for transmission rebuilds, hardware sales of parts, and cryogenic processing services. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct — customers contact the firm via phone (855-291-9860) or email ([email protected]) for quotes, either shipping transmissions to the Henderson facility or visiting in person. The business serves the Rocky Mountain Region with a customer base concentrated in heavy industrial sectors — drilling, oil & gas services, caisson drilling, construction, mining, and fleet management — where transmission downtime is expensive and OEM replacement costs are high. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; rebuild work is quoted on a time-and-materials basis, exchange transmissions are individually priced, and parts are sold at unit prices. A standard six-month/1,000-hour warranty is offered on rebuilt units.

The company is privately held, owned and operated by founder Tom, with 1-10 employees. There are no disclosed investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Customer evidence — including testimonials from Calfrac Well Services, Elco Drilling (20+ years), and Evergreen Caisson (25+ years) — indicates deep, durable relationships with industrial equipment operators in the region, with customers citing reduced downtime, transmission longevity exceeding OEM units, and responsive service as key value drivers.

Broad incumbents

• Caterpillar: OEM of construction, mining, and industrial equipment including drivetrain components that Powershift rebuilds. Operates a global authorized dealer service network that competes with independent rebuilders for service work on installed CAT fleets.
• ZF Friedrichshafen: Global OEM of driveline and chassis technology, including industrial and off-highway transmissions that Powershift rebuilds. Maintains an authorized service partner network that competes with independent rebuilders.
• Allison Transmission: OEM manufacturer of fully automatic transmissions across on-highway, off-highway, and defense markets. Powershift is an independent rebuild facility for Allison products rather than an authorized dealer, but Allison sets the underlying product standard and competes for service work.
• Volvo Construction Equipment: OEM of construction equipment whose drivetrains Powershift rebuilds. Operates a global dealer service network that competes for service and warranty work on Volvo platforms.
• Twin Disc: OEM of marine, off-highway, and industrial power transmission products including transmissions that Powershift rebuilds. Operates both as a manufacturer and as an authorized service network.
• Komatsu: OEM of construction and mining equipment whose transmissions Powershift rebuilds. Competes with independent rebuilders via its authorized distributor service network.

Direct peers

• Reviva: Remanufacturer of diesel engines and transmissions serving on-highway and off-highway markets. Closely mirrors Powershift's independent rebuild and exchange model with a comparable multi-OEM, multi-segment focus.
• Goerend Transmission: Specializes in heavy-duty diesel transmission rebuilding and performance upgrades. Competes in the same heavy-duty transmission rebuild niche that Powershift serves for off-road and industrial equipment.
• Jasper Engines & Transmissions: One of the largest independent remanufacturers of engines and transmissions in North America. Operates a similar business model of rebuilding and exchanging powertrain components for warranty-backed quality, directly comparable to Powershift's rebuild-and-exchange model.
• ATS Diesel Performance: Specializes in heavy-duty diesel transmission rebuilds and performance upgrades. Overlaps directly with Powershift on industrial and heavy-duty transmission service.
