Serving the Americas: Sourcing ZF Parts for CASE, John Deere, and Hyundai Fleets
By TIANJIN XIAOHANG CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO.,LTD – Real Solutions, Real Speed
🌍 Introduction: Global Brands, Local Problems
While CASE (CNH), John Deere, and Hyundai are global giants, the ZF transmissions and axles inside their machines are often identical to the ones we service every day in China.
However, local dealers in South America or Africa often mark up these parts by 300% or quote month-long lead times.
Tianjin Xiaohang offers a direct bridge to the source. Here is a real-world case study of how we helped a client bypass the bottleneck.
📖 Case Study: Saving a Peruvian Copper Mine
The Crisis:
- Equipment: Komatsu WA series Loader (Running a ZF Driveline).
- Failure: Catastrophic failure of the ZF Front Axle (AP-400 series) differential.
- Local Quote: “4 Weeks delivery from Europe. Price: High.”
- Cost of Downtime: $15,000 USD per day in lost production.
The Xiaohang Solution: The procurement manager found us online and contacted Tianjin Linkworld Trading.
- Cross-Reference: We identified the Komatsu part number and matched it to the Original ZF Part Number in our system.
- Inventory Check: Status: In Stock in our Tianjin warehouse.
- Action: The parts were crated and shipped via DHL Express within 6 hours.
The Result:
- Turnaround: 6 Days (from quote to delivery in Lima) vs. the 4 weeks quoted locally.
- Total Savings: Over $300,000 in prevented downtime and part cost.
I. Bridging the Gap: OEM vs. ZF Numbers
The biggest challenge for international sourcing is Part Number confusion. A CASE loader uses a CASE part number, but the part is made by ZF.
- 👉 Deep Dive: International sourcing can be tricky. Use our guide on [Identifying ZF Model Plates] to help us bridge the gap between your OEM number and the ZF number.
II. Why Choose Us Over Local Dealers?
- Price: Sourcing directly from the Authorized Dealer in China (the manufacturing base) cuts out multiple layers of middlemen.
- Expertise: We know ZF better than a generalist dealer. We know which updates and supersessions apply to your specific axle or gearbox.
💡 Summary: Experience the Difference
You don’t have to tolerate long lead times just because you run a Western machine brand.
