What is the typical lead time for durable excavator parts?

If only there were a magic button that instantly delivered high-quality, heavy-duty parts right to your job site! But since we’re working with steel-forged, precision-engineered excavator components rather than pizza deliveries, lead times depend on a few key factors.

First up, stock availability. At Fulian, we keep a robust inventory of track chains, sprockets, idlers, bottom rollers, top rollers, and rubber tracks, ensuring fast shipping for most standard models. If the part you need is in stock, it typically ships within 24 to 48 hours—because we know that downtime is money lost, and we don’t keep customers waiting.

Now, if we’re talking about custom or made-to-order parts, such as specialized track groups or reinforced rollers for high-wear applications, the lead time will be a bit longer. Manufacturing precision components requires meticulous forging, heat treatment, and quality checks—typically taking 7 to 15 days before they’re ready to ship.

Shipping method also plays a huge role. Express shipping can get parts to you in as little as 3 to 7 days, while sea freight—often the preferred choice for bulk orders—may take anywhere from 20 to 40 days, depending on the destination and port conditions. If you’re in a rush, we always recommend air freight for smaller, urgent orders.

Seasonality can also be a factor. Peak construction seasons mean higher demand, so lead times might be slightly extended if everyone is scrambling for the same parts. This is why we always suggest planning ahead and stocking up before your machines hit the busiest work periods.

Of course, working with a reliable supplier makes all the difference. At Fulian, we pride ourselves on fast, efficient order processing and logistics, ensuring our customers receive top-quality excavator parts with minimal downtime and maximum reliability. Whether you need a single part or a full container load, our team is here to get it moving—fast!
