Yellow Plant Equipment & Heavy Machinery Cooling Fans
Heavy-Duty Cooling Fans, Engine Fans & Radiator Fans for Yellow Plant Equipment
We supply cooling fans, engine fans, radiator fans and complete fan assemblies for yellow plant, earthmoving, construction, mining and industrial equipment. Our sourcing service covers a wide range of heavy machinery and diesel-powered equipment, helping customers find replacement cooling components for both current and older machines.
We source new, aftermarket, OEM, replacement, reconditioned and selected used cooling fan components, depending on availability, application and customer requirements. This allows us to offer practical solutions for customers looking for genuine replacement parts as well as more cost-effective aftermarket alternatives.
Our cooling fan sourcing covers applications including excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers, motor graders, backhoe loaders, TLBs, articulated dump trucks, rigid dump trucks, mining trucks, compactors, drilling equipment, crushers, generators and other heavy-duty machinery.
We can assist with sourcing engine cooling fans, radiator fans, fan blades, fan assemblies, fan hubs, fan drives, fan pulleys, fan clutches, viscous fan clutches, hydraulic-driven fans and reversible cooling fans. Where a complete fan is not required, we can also investigate individual components or replacement fan blades.
Whether you require a Caterpillar (CAT), Komatsu, Volvo Construction Equipment, Bell Equipment, JCB, Hitachi, Doosan, Hyundai, Case, Liebherr, John Deere, SANY, XCMG, LiuGong, SDLG, Shantui, Terex or another heavy-equipment cooling fan, we can assist with identifying and sourcing the correct component.
We also source cooling fans for engines manufactured by Cummins, Perkins, Deutz, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Volvo, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hino, Kubota, Yanmar, Doosan and other diesel-engine manufacturers.
Sourcing Based on Part Number, Machine or Dimensions
The OEM part number is normally the preferred method of identifying a replacement cooling fan. However, if the original part number is unavailable, we can investigate the correct component using the machine or engine details and physical specifications.
Useful information includes the machine manufacturer, machine model, serial number, engine manufacturer, engine model, OEM part number, fan diameter, number of blades, centre-hole diameter, mounting-hole pattern, blade pitch and rotation direction.
Photographs of the existing fan, fan hub, mounting arrangement and machine identification plate can also be extremely useful when identifying difficult-to-source components.
Solutions for Older and Difficult-to-Source Equipment
Finding cooling fans for older yellow plant and discontinued machinery can be challenging, particularly where the original manufacturer has discontinued the component. We can investigate aftermarket replacements, OEM alternatives, specialist manufacturers, international suppliers and selected used components where appropriate.
For obsolete or hard-to-find applications, we can also investigate replacement options based on the dimensions, mounting configuration, rotation, blade design and application requirements rather than relying solely on the original part number.
Heavy-Duty Applications
Cooling fans used on mining and construction equipment operate under demanding conditions, including high ambient temperatures, dust, debris, long operating hours, heavy loads and continuous-duty applications. Selecting the correct fan is therefore important for maintaining adequate airflow through the radiator and cooling package.
A replacement fan should not only physically fit the machine but should also be suitable for the engine speed, fan-drive system, rotation direction, airflow requirements and operating environment.
We understand that a cooling-system component can be a critical part of keeping heavy equipment operational. Our objective is to help customers identify the correct replacement and provide sourcing options that balance availability, specification, quality, price and lead time.
South Africa and SADC Supply
We assist with cooling fan sourcing for customers in South Africa and the wider SADC region, including applications in mining, construction, agriculture, plant hire, earthmoving, quarrying and industrial operations.
Whether you are replacing a damaged fan on a working excavator, rebuilding a cooling system on an older wheel loader, maintaining a fleet of mining equipment or sourcing an obsolete engine fan, send us the part number, machine details or photographs and we can investigate the available supply options.
Can’t find the cooling fan you need? Send us the details. We can check the part number, application and available sourcing options.

OEM, Aftermarket & Replacement Options
Depending on availability and application, we can source:
OEM / Genuine
Original manufacturer components where available.
Aftermarket
Cost-effective replacement options from established aftermarket manufacturers.
New Replacement
New replacement fans suitable for specific machinery and engine applications.
Used / Second-Hand
Selected used components may be available for older or difficult-to-source equipment.
Custom / Application-Based
Where an original fan is obsolete, we can investigate alternatives based on dimensions, mounting configuration, rotation, airflow requirements and operating conditions.
How to Find the Correct Cooling Fan
The easiest way to identify the correct fan is to provide as much information as possible.
Ideally, send us:
- Machine make
- Machine model
- Serial number
- Engine make
- Engine model
- OEM part number
- Fan diameter
- Number of blades
- Rotation direction
- Mounting-hole configuration
- Photographs of the existing fan
- Quantity required
A clear photograph of the existing fan and its identification plate can often help us identify the correct replacement.
Tips When Ordering Heavy Machinery Cooling Fans
1. Don’t order by diameter alone
Two fans can have the same diameter but completely different mounting arrangements, blade pitch, rotation and airflow characteristics.
2. Check the rotation direction
Cooling fans can be designed for clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. Always confirm rotation before ordering.
3. Check the number of blades
Record the number of blades on the existing fan and compare it with the replacement specification.
4. Measure the mounting pattern
Measure the centre-to-centre distance between mounting holes and check the hub configuration.
5. Confirm fan clearance
The replacement fan must have sufficient clearance from the radiator, shroud, belts, hoses and surrounding components.
6. Check the fan pitch
Blade pitch affects airflow and engine cooling performance. A fan that physically fits may not provide the correct airflow.
7. Provide the part number
If available, the OEM part number is one of the best ways to identify a replacement fan.
8. Consider the operating environment
Mining and construction equipment can operate in extremely dusty conditions. Consider whether a reversible or debris-clearing fan is appropriate for the application.
9. Check the complete fan-drive system
If the fan is damaged or not operating correctly, the problem may also involve the fan clutch, hub, pulley, bearing or hydraulic fan drive.
10. Avoid unnecessary machine downtime
For critical equipment, confirm availability and lead time before removing the existing component.
