We’ve Got Balls of Steel.
Literally.

Our customer had a bearing that was failing and needed a replacement sooner rather than later. The manufacturer was quoting a 9-week lead time, and if we couldn't get a replacement in time, our customer was facing a line-down situation costing approximately $15,000 a day.

Maverick Bearings was able to find the exact bearing we needed and have it shipped directly to our customer within 7 business days.

The bearing arrived in time, and once installed, our customer was able to keep running with no downtime. They were extremely grateful, and by getting the bearing there when we did, we were able to help them avoid more than $600,000 in potential lost revenue.

We had a large steel customer who needed these cylindrical roller bearings that we couldn't locate anywhere. The quoted lead time was 17 weeks, but our customer had a planned shutdown coming up with OEM technicians scheduled to be on site—and those technicians aren't cheap.

Maverick Bearings was able to locate and source the bearing at a fair price with a much quicker delivery than any other source we found.

The bearings arrived on site before the shutdown even began, potentially saving our customer thousands of dollars in outsourced technician costs and helping prevent future downtime by providing a spare.

I can't count how many times Carolina Bearing/Maverick Bearings has helped us increase our profit margins over the years. We don't historically buy SKF, FAG, and INA particularly well, but Maverick gives us access to authentic premium-brand product at very competitive pricing.

That pricing has helped us win orders we otherwise wouldn't have gotten while still allowing us to make a decent profit. Sometimes we've even seen surplus houses priced higher, which says something about Maverick's buying power.

We've only had good experiences working with them. The pricing is great, deliveries run smoothly, and they document every shipment with photos—from the bearings and packing slip before they're packed, to how they're protected inside the box, to the finished package ready to ship. It's an extra step that gives us confidence everything is right, especially when an order is being blind drop-shipped directly to our customer.

We needed some large tapered roller bearings that had a lengthy lead time from the manufacturer. Our customer already had an outage planned and needed the bearings in time to complete the replacement during that scheduled window.

Maverick Bearings was able to source what we needed and get the bearings to our customer within a few weeks instead of a few months.

The bearings arrived by the time the outage started, allowing our customer to complete the replacement as planned. More importantly, it helped us strengthen our relationship with that customer—a relationship that has continued to grow over the years with Maverick's help.

We have a long-time customer who needs steel-cage cylindrical roller bearings in various sizes with a special clearance. Being able to reliably supply those bearings was important—we didn't want to risk losing bearing business we'd had for many years.

Maverick Bearings was able to source the bearings we needed and supply them in sets with the special clearance our customer required.

They're still supplying them to us today, helping us continue serving a customer we've worked with for years—and hopefully for many more to come.

A breakdown at a steel mill can get expensive fast. When we had an unexpected breakdown, every minute mattered—downtime can cost thousands of dollars if the problem isn't fixed quickly.

Maverick Bearings came through for us, getting us the parts we needed ASAP. We were able to get things back up and running and keep the downtime to a short period.

I had a hard-to-find bearing I was looking for, but finding it was only part of the challenge. I also had a pretty delicate price target I needed to hit in order to take care of my customer.

Steve and his crew were able to find what I needed and work with me on the pricing to make it happen. In the end, I was able to get the bearing I needed at the right price and take care of my customer.

They always seem to take great care of me.

We're an industrial reseller with our own repair shop, so getting the right bearings at the right price—and on a good lead time—helps us do the same for our customers.

Maverick Bearings gives us a good combination of lead time and price, which has helped us earn repeat orders from our customers and continue expanding the bearing side of our business.
