3-D Service Expands Partnership with Baldor

Massillon, Ohio's 3-D Service, Ltd., a leader in the repair and maintenance of electro-mechanical industrial equipment, is pleased to announce the expansion of a long-standing partnership with Baldor Electric Company.  While 3-D Service has a strong affiliation with Baldor for the sales and service of Baldor motors, drives, starters and controls, the consistent demand for reliable, backup power sources lead 3-D Service and Baldor to extend their relationship to include standby generators.  To fully address customer expectations, 3-D Service has formed a separate Generator Division devoted to the sales, rental, parts, and service of Baldor generators, as well as portable Ingersoll Rand units.

3-D Service’s Generator Division offers the industry’s most powerful lineup of Baldor generators ranging from 1 kW to 2000 kW.  This lineup is backed by several engine choices, including Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Mitsubishi, Ford, Isuzu, John Deere, Kubota, Honda, and GM.  No one offers more choices from portable units (1 kW to 11 kW) and mobile units (6 kW to 400 kW) to home emergency standby units (8 kW to 15 kW) and industrial emergency standby units (15 kW to 2000 kW).  Together, Baldor and 3-D Service can ensure uninterruptible, onsite standby capability in the event of power outages – unexpected or planned.  Customers can rely on a continuous source of electric power to avoid losses in production, revenue, materials and products, and even dissatisfied customers.

You can count on 3-D Service Generator Division as your authorized provider of rental, sales and service of genuine Baldor and Ingersoll Rand parts and equipment including portable and standby generators. 3-D Service offers 24/7 service and repair by factory-trained service personnel.  Customized maintenance agreements are available to protect your investment in top-of-the-line equipment.
