The Digital Workshop: How to Order ZF Parts Correctly Using Just a Photo
By TIANJIN XIAOHANG CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO.,LTD – Making Procurement Easy


📲 Introduction: The “Lost Plate” Problem
We’ve all been there: You are under a muddy loader, the machine is down, and you need a solenoid valve or a pump. You wipe the grease off the transmission housing, only to find the ZF Identification Plate is scratched, painted over, or missing entirely.
You can’t find the part number in the manual, and your local dealer says, “No number, no part.”
In 2025, you don’t need a part number to get a quote from Tianjin Xiaohang. You just need a smartphone.
I. Visual Identification Intelligence
While AI search is popular, Human Expert Experience is irreplaceable. Our engineering team has spent 20 years staring at ZF transmissions. We recognize visual cues that manuals miss.
- The Service: Simply take a clear photo of the transmission housing, the failed component, or even the error code on the dashboard. Send it to our WhatsApp or Email.
- The Process: We analyze the shape of the connector, the casting numbers, and the mounting bolt pattern. We verify: “Is this a 12V or 24V solenoid?” or “Is this the old style pump or the superseded version?”
- 👉 Deep Dive: Our engineers don’t just look at photos; they understand the system logic. This helps us guide you on whether you should be [Repairing or Remanufacturing] the unit based on the damage we see.
II. How to Snap the Perfect Parts Photo

- Details: Close-up of any engraved numbers or labels on the part itself.
- Connections: If it’s electrical, show us the plug (2-pin vs 3-pin).
III. From Photo to Dispatch
Once we identify the part from your photo, our logistics team takes over immediately.
- Cross-Reference: We match your photo to the current active ZF part number in our database.
- Speed: Because we hold deep inventory, we can usually confirm stock within minutes of receiving your image.
- 👉 Deep Dive: Once identified, we don’t waste time. Learn about our [Why “In-Stock” Matters: Navigating Global Supply Chain Delays] to see how fast we can ship.
