Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about ordering, fitment, shipping, and accounts.
Fitment & Compatibility
How do I know if a part fits my sweeper?
Each product page lists compatible makes and models. Use our Part Finder to search by OEM part number, internal SKU, or keyword. If you're unsure, contact our technical support team with your sweeper's make, model, and serial number.
Can I cross-reference an OEM part number?
Yes! Use the Part Finder tool to search by manufacturer part numbers from Johnston, Bucher, Scarab, Schwarze, and others. Our database cross-references thousands of OEM numbers to our equivalent parts.
Are your parts genuine OEM or aftermarket?
We supply OEM-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed original specifications. All parts are dimensionally validated and performance-tested against OEM baseline standards. This allows us to offer 30–50% cost savings while maintaining quality and reliability.
What if the part doesn't fit?
If you receive an incorrect or incompatible part, contact us within 30 days of delivery. We'll arrange a return and provide the correct part or full refund. See our terms and conditions for complete return policy details.
Ordering & Pricing
Do I need an account to order?
No, you can checkout as a guest. However, creating a free account lets you track orders, save shipping details, and access order history. Trade account holders get volume pricing and monthly billing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) via Stripe. Trade account holders can purchase on account with net 30-day payment terms.
Can I get a quote before ordering?
Yes! Add items to your cart and use the "Request Quote" option at checkout. Our team will review your requirements and provide a detailed quotation, typically within 4 business hours.
Do you offer bulk or volume discounts?
Yes. Councils, fleet operators and contractors ordering in volume should apply for a trade account to access tiered pricing, standing orders and dedicated account management.
Are prices in AUD and include GST?
All prices are displayed in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include GST unless stated otherwise. GST-registered businesses can claim back the GST component.

Trade Accounts
What is a trade account?
A trade account provides councils, fleet operators and contractors with volume pricing, net 30-day payment terms, consolidated monthly invoicing, and a dedicated account manager. Apply here.
How do I qualify for a trade account?
Trade accounts are available to ABN-registered businesses, councils, and government entities with regular sweeper parts requirements. Complete the trade account application with your business details and trade references.
How long does trade account approval take?
Most applications are reviewed within 1–2 business days. We'll contact you if we need any additional information. Once approved, you can start ordering immediately with account terms.
What are the payment terms for trade accounts?
Standard trade terms are net 30 days from invoice date. Higher credit limits and extended terms are available for established accounts with good payment history.
Warranty & Returns
What warranty do you offer?
All stocked parts carry a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects and material failure under normal operating conditions. Warranty covers replacement parts and reasonable labour costs for fitment.
How do I make a warranty claim?
Contact our support team with your order number, photos of the defective part, and details of the failure. We'll arrange collection and replacement, typically within 3–5 business days.
Can I return a part if I ordered the wrong one?
Yes, unused parts in original packaging can be returned within 30 days for a refund or exchange. Return shipping costs apply unless the error was ours. See our terms and conditions for full details.
What if a part fails after the warranty period?
Contact us anyway – we'll review the failure mode and may offer goodwill support depending on circumstances and part history. Customer satisfaction is important to us.
