Find the parts nobody else can

Spare Parts Sourcing

One-stop sourcing for industrial spares and supplies, including obsolete and hard-to-find parts. We work our supplier network here and overseas so you make one phone call instead of twenty.

What this typically involves

  • Locating hard-to-find and obsolete parts through our supplier network
  • Cross-referencing and identifying suitable alternatives
  • Follow-up so purchasing keeps moving
Common use cases

Where this typically comes up

1

No part number, just a photo

A machine is down and all anyone has to go on is a photo of the old part or a worn nameplate. Identifying the right item correctly the first time avoids an expensive ordering mistake.

2

The supplier is gone

The business that always supplied a critical part has closed down or stopped stocking it, and there is no existing relationship with an alternative source to fall back on.

3

Import lead times blowing out

A part is on order from overseas, but shipping delays have pushed the lead time well past what was quoted, and the equipment cannot wait that long.

Australia depends on sea freight for 99.3% of its merchandise trade by volume, so global shipping disruption flows straight through to local parts availability.

Example scenario

the obsolete drive

A client's machine went down needing a drive that the manufacturer had discontinued. The OEM's answer: upgrade the whole system, $60K, 14-week lead time. We located a compatible replacement through our supplier network and had it on site within days, for under a tenth of the quoted upgrade. The machine was back up the same week.

Illustrative example for explanatory purposes, not a specific client case study.
