Updated October 2026
Field service is maintenance and repair done at your site, on your equipment, whatever brand is on the nameplate. A Bulk technician comes to the machine, makes a quick assessment, and works to get it up and running as soon as possible, which removes the need to keep a high-level technician on your own payroll to cover heavy equipment.
Bulk Equipment Corp is a brand-independent heavy equipment uptime partner headquartered in Michigan City, Indiana, with a shop in Memphis, Tennessee. The field service division maintains and repairs heavy equipment for customers across heavy industry in the Midwest and Southeast, whether Bulk supplied the machine or not.

Why Bulk Does Field Service
As a business that’s operated and maintained heavy equipment for over seventy years, we understand from past experience businesses don’t always have access to high-level service. This awareness is at the core of why Bulk not only supplies custom heavy equipment fleets of any shape and size, but also provides outsourced service and repair to companies who own their own equipment.
Born from decades of experience maintaining our own equipment in the harsh steel mill environment and later, our rental fleets, the field service division is designed to provide premium service to a broad set of industries.
Not only can we maintain and repair equipment found in all industries, but our brand-independent model allows us to service any machine, no matter the manufacturer.
Real-time accessibility to an expert Bulk technician removes the need to keep a high-level tech on payroll. Our skilled team will be there when you need them, offering a quick assessment to get your machine up and running as soon as possible.
Increasing machine uptime with a diversified team of problem-solving technicians knowledgeable in servicing heavy equipment, no matter the manufacturer.
Not only do we stock a full complement of spare parts, but our parts expertise allows us to find and get the best-priced parts and supplies to the frontline.

These clips are Bulk’s own people talking about the work: what separates a professional contractor from a wrench turner, why years on the iron matter, why a maintenance manager is right to be nervous about a new service company, and what skipping an oil change can cost.
Preventive Maintenance
Changing engine oil, engine oil filters, and fuel filters at the service interval is one of the most overlooked items in heavy equipment maintenance, and the failure it prevents is not cheap.
The numberA premature engine failure can run $75,000 to $100,000 in costs. The oil and filter change that prolongs the engine costs a fraction of that.
The payoffDoing that service on time is what keeps a machine out of a six-figure failure. Preventive maintenance is the cheapest money a fleet spends on an engine.
