When Peace of Mind Is Non-Negotiable
Every part L&H produces is built to exceed industry standards. Less than 1% of them earn the L&H: Black Series designation.
This isn’t a marketing tier. It’s a qualification bar. A component only carries the Black Series name after it clears a specific set of engineering and manufacturing criteria — the kind of criteria that separates a part that works from a part you never have to think about again.
What it Takes to Earn the Black Series Name
To qualify for Black Series, a component has to demonstrate achievement across multiple categories, not just one. Here’s what we’re checking for:
Why This Matters for Your Operation
Component failure on heavy equipment doesn’t just cost the part. It costs the downtime, the labor to diagnose and replace it, and the production hours lost while the machine sits idle. When a component is engineered specifically to correct a known weak point, rather than just meet the original spec, the goal isn’t just durability, it’s removing a known failure mode from your equipment entirely.
That’s the distinction behind Black Series. It’s not “meets spec.” It’s “the spec had a problem, and we fixed it.”
An investment in Productivity and Peace of Mind
Leveraging proven engineering and specialized manufacturing methods, the Black Series is built to set your machines apart from every other operation in the field.

Push your equipment harder, run it longer, and worry less about the part that’s usually the first thing to fail. That’s what the Black Series designation is built to deliver.
does Black Series apply to your equipment?
Every Black Series component exists because we kept asking what could be better, even after hitting spec and we’re not done raising the bar. Reach out to our team to find out which parts on your equipment qualify.
