Part identification

1. There is a number cast into a cast iron component from ATE. Can you
determine the ATE item code from this number?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to identify ATE components based on the numbers
cast into them. Please contact one of our sales partners who will be able to send
in the ATE component to one of our specialists for identification. Please note that
this is a chargeable service.

2. I have got a brake booster from ATE. There is an ATE number on an
adhesive label. My dealer cannot make sense of this number. Is the
brake booster still available?

Possibly, but not under this "brake booster assembly number". This brake booster
assembly number is an encrypted combination of the codes for the TMC, brake fluid
reservoir and brake booster. Please contact one of our sales partners with this
assembly number and refer them to the "Brake booster assembly" list in our catalog.
Another option is a (web) catalog search using the data from the vehicle
registration document.

3. I have got a forklift truck, trailer, horse-drawn carriage, tractor...
of XYZ brand and require brake components from ATE. Who can
I contact about this?

Unfortunately, no ATE aftermarket components are available for commercial vehicles.
There is no vehicle database or vehicle-specific catalog for part searches.

Please contact the vehicle manufacturer. Alternatively, you may be able to identify
the part you are looking for in the ATE small batch catalog HB7. Using the component
data, you may be able to find a suitable ATE component in the HB7 catalog. This can
then be obtained from our sales partners. If you cannot find a suitable ATE product
in the HB7 catalog, contact the vehicle manufacturer to obtain the part.
