Meritor OE and Aftermarket Brands


Whether you're out driving a truck or maintaining a fleet of them, chances are you're familiar with Meritor. A powerhouse in both the OE and aftermarket, Meritor doesn't just have one specialty — they are a global supplier of axle, brake, and suspension solutions for both the transportation and industrial sectors.


Meritor Genuine parts are well-known in the industry for being the same parts that are used on OEM equipment and installed on brand new trucks on the assembly line. This brand is renowned for its genuine performance on new vehicles and vehicles that are still under warranty, but what many fleet owners don't realize is that Meritor has more brands in the aftermarket than you may realize.


What Aftermarket Brands Does Meritor Have?


If you want to maximize your vehicle's uptime without paying the sticker for OEM-grade Meritor Genuine parts, the good news is that you don't have to. Meritor has branched out with multiple levels of aftermarket parts brands and options to meet you at every vehicle life cycle.



Meritor


Although this brand is a no-brainer since it still has the Meritor name, there can be a lot of confusion between Meritor Genuine and Meritor parts. Although the name is sometimes used interchangeably, Meritor specializes in high-quality, all-makes aftermarket and reman parts whereas Meritor Genuine is synonymous with genuine OE production parts.


Meritor aftermarket and reman parts are:


  • Engineered to exacting OEM specs
  • Designed with proven performance and lasting value
  • Ideal for original, second, and even third vehicle owners


Euclid


Although Euclid has been a trusted brand for over 75 years, it officially became part of the Meritor family in 1999. Euclid also specializes in high-quality all-makes parts in the aftermarket for light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles, and with Meritor backing this brand you can expect:


  • Product design and engineering for trusted performance
  • A high-value, lesser cost option for commercial vehicles
  • Meritor's answer for vehicles in their second or third stages of ownership


Mach


If you're looking for uptime at an affordable price, there's no need to shoot in the dark on brands you're not sure about. Mach offers value parts affordable prices and feature:


  • The same rigid design, engineering, and manufacturing standards applied to all Meritor parts
  • Value parts that are fully backed by a 1-year warranty and Meritor's industry-leading support network.
  • All the quality that Meritor is known for without driving up your costs

Gaff


Gaff is a newly acquired brand from Meritor with a full line of polypropylene suspension parts for all types of heavy-duty applications and commercial vehicles. Polypropelene is a well-liked material over rubber components because of the longevity of the material. Suspension parts made from polypropylene are proven to last-longer than rubber parts and stand-up to weather elements including extreme sun, rain and snow. Here are other reasons to buy polypropylene products


  • Corrosion-resistant
  • Money-saving
  • Environmentally-friendly
  • Long-lasting

Choose Between Multiple Meritor Brands


The beauty about Meritor having so much of a presence in the aftermarket is being able to choose the level of aftermarket parts you need at the best price without sacrificing value. If you're shopping for multiple trucks with different life cycles, you don't have to choose just one brand or even put off servicing older trucks.


Our full haul of heavy-duty everything includes not only Meritor Genuine OE parts for your top-notch trucks, but we also carry:


  • Meritor for original, second, or third ownership
  • Mach for later stage ownership when you need great value at a lesser cost
