Product Search
Product Search can provide a fast & powerful way to
locate a specific part, for example. In the top-right, you can type in a part term
or number (legacy or current) and immediately see results. This main search
function also
allows you to perform a more precise search of
terms/numbers by using the drop-down selection for Starts-with, contains,
or have an exact-match to your entry. Results will be provided as
you type – if any results are found. To see availability and list pricing,
simply press the ENTER key or click the magnifying glass icon
.
This is also handy in case there many results to your search terms. You can
page through the results, view pricing and availability and also see images where
available. You may then click on the part title (or image) to view the item
details or ‘basket’ to add it to your current order.
TIP: If you want to search by part number only, you may do so using the exact-match search function. This works for old and current part numbers, such as BLS-0016 or W.1000.5182 (use of periods is required in current part numbers). You will also be able to search once you are in the basket (order) by typing in a part number.
Product Catalog
Many of our popular parts are organized into a featured
catalog organized by Category. These featured items will have product images
and specifications as you navigate through catalog and click on any given part.
NOTE: Presently, a relatively small amount of our total available inventory of nearly 1 million parts is available through browsing the Products & Services > Parts catalog. You may also try Product Search if you know your part number (or specific search terms) as a faster way to locate, view, and order parts.
Once in the Basket/Checkout, you may also add additional parts by entering your part number, if known. If you still are unable to locate your part, feel free to use the Contact Us, and we will be happy to assist you in finding the right part(s) for your machine!
While most folks will want to browse the Parts Catalog, we do offer many services to repair & extend the lifecycle of your machines. Be sure to check out our comprehensive Service offerings and click on the Information Request link to find out more!
Simply navigate the appropriate category by using the menu on the left. You may also click the down arrow to collapse a (sub)category or the up arrow to expand one.
At any time, simply click the Home

over or collapse any expanded categories by clicking the down-arrows shown to

Whether you are
viewing search results or browsing parts in the Catalog by category, ordering
parts is as easy as clicking a single icon to add to the order basket.

Your Account - Machines Listing

Verification of machine serial numbers is required to ensure we get you the correct part # (and avoid a higher restocking fee, if returned).
You can customize the use of machine description and location fields to organize your machines. You may use your own naming and/or location conventions to aid in how you would like to search machines later. For example, a search of ‘Ma’ in the shopping cart would return all Cincinnati Maxim and Magnum model machines. A search of ‘Houston’ would show machines located in the city of Houston. You may want to use abbreviations or acronyms for subsidiary locations or offices.
Once you populate a list of machines, you will be able to order parts much faster by typing in a search criteria that matches any of the data in the fields below – then selecting the correct machine you are ordering parts for to instantly populate its serial number. You may edit this list at any time, so if a change occurs, you can delete/add new machines to the list.
