Atlas Copco Spare Parts List & Online Ordering: A Buyer's FAQ (2025)

I'm the procurement manager at an 80-person mining services company. I've managed our equipment maintenance budget—about $340,000 a year—for the last eight years, negotiated with 20+ parts vendors across three continents, and logged every order in our internal cost-tracking system. When I first started in this role, I assumed the lowest quote was always the best choice. Three budget overruns and one very expensive seal kit later, I learned that "cheap" and "cost-effective" are two very different numbers.

This article covers the questions I answer most often about Atlas Copco spare parts and attachments. If you're trying to find an atlas copco spare parts list, order parts online atlas copco, or get a straight answer about breakers and scrapers, this FAQ is for you.

• Where do I find the official Atlas Copco spare parts list?
• Can I order Atlas Copco parts online, and is it cheaper than a dealer?
• Genuine Atlas Copco parts vs aftermarket: which actually costs less?
• What's the difference between a breaker and a scraper?
• How often should I replace wear parts on an Atlas Copco breaker?
• People search "can crusher yeti"—is that a real product?
• What's the most costly mistake when ordering Atlas Copco parts?

1. Where do I find the official Atlas Copco spare parts list?

Start at the source. According to Atlas Copco's parts portal (parts.atlascopco.com), you can enter a machine's serial number or model to pull up the official parts list: exploded diagrams, part numbers, quantities, and revision history. You don't need a dealer account to browse; you'll need one to place an order.

I wasted hours early on with third-party parts sites that post scanned copies of Atlas Copco parts books. Some of those scans are years out of date. If a part number has been superseded, the third-party page won't tell you. The official portal is the only version I trust when confirming a part number, and the workflow has been stable for years—as of April 2025, it's still the same: serial number in, parts list out.

One tip: download the PDF version of your machine's parts book and store it somewhere your maintenance crew can access offline. When the network drops on site, that PDF is worth more than the laptop it's stored on.

2. Can I order Atlas Copco parts online, and is it cheaper than a dealer?

Yes, you can order online—through Atlas Copco's official e-store or through an authorized distributor's web shop. Is it cheaper? Depends on what you mean by "cheaper."

I compared online list prices against dealer quotes for about 40 high-turnover parts across the last two years (filters, seals, bushings, service kits). Online pricing is usually lower on the sticker, but you're often on the hook for shipping, and some web shops apply a minimum order value. Dealers usually fold delivery into their quote, which narrows the gap. In Q3 2024, I costed out a $4,200 annual contract for filters and consumables both ways: the difference was 6% once I added freight. Not nothing—but not the 20% gap the sticker prices suggested.

There's also a support angle. When I've ordered through a dealer, they've flagged things like "that part was superseded" or "you'll need the updated gasket too." An online cart doesn't do that. If you're new to self-serve parts ordering, budget some learning time.

And when lead time matters, be explicit. I once said "as soon as possible" on a backordered seal kit. They heard "whenever convenient." Result: delivery two weeks later than I expected, and a drill rig sitting idle in the yard.

So now I ask two questions before any parts order: What's NOT included? And what's the backorder situation? Those two questions have saved me more money than any coupon code I've ever seen.

3. Genuine Atlas Copco parts vs aftermarket: which actually costs less?

Everything I'd read about OEM parts said they were overpriced—marketing markup, brand tax, whatever you want to call it. My experience with 200+ orders suggests the opposite is true for critical components, once you factor in total cost of ownership.

I'm not anti-aftermarket. For non-critical consumables—clamps, hoses, generic filters—I use aftermarket and it works fine. But for structural components on drill rigs and hydraulic breakers, aftermarket burned me in a specific way I won't repeat. A $380 bushing that fails early can take a $9,000 drive assembly with it. That's the hidden cost nobody puts on the quote.

Atlas Copco's published service literature says genuine parts are designed and tested as a system with the original equipment. I'm not going to pretend I read every engineering bulletin, but I trust the failure data in my own spreadsheet more than any brochure. After comparing eight vendors over three months using a TCO model, our policy became: genuine for anything that touches a rotating or percussive assembly, aftermarket for anything that doesn't. That policy has held for four years, and it cut our critical-part failure rate by roughly two-thirds.

4. What's the difference between a breaker and a scraper?

This one causes more ordering confusion than it should. A breaker—sometimes called a hydraulic hammer—mounts on an excavator and delivers percussive force. It's for demolition: breaking rock, concrete, reinforced structures. A scraper is a ground-engaging tool for grading, leveling, or moving material. They're different jobs, built for different carrier machines, and their wear parts are not interchangeable.

The procurement angle: breakers and scrapers wear out in completely different patterns. Breakers go through tool bushings, retaining pins, and seals at a predictable rate. Scrapers wear through cutting edges, end bits, and blade plates. When I audited our 2023 spending, we were tracking both categories together—which hid the fact that breakers represented 70% of our attachment-related spend. Splitting them out changed how we budgeted and reordered. If your ERP lumps them into "miscellaneous attachments," fix that.

And for the record: don't let a supplier persuade you to "upgrade" from a scraper to a breaker for a job that's mostly grading. Different tool, different carrier requirements, different hourly cost.

5. How often should I replace wear parts on an Atlas Copco breaker?

Atlas Copco's service manuals for the breaker models we run call for wear-part inspection around every 500 operating hours. Replacement depends on what you're breaking. In our hard-rock application, we typically change tool bushings and seals between 800 and 1,200 hours; in softer material, they've gone longer.

Here's what the maintenance interval misses: the cost of not doing it. When I analyzed our 2023 records, breakers that got their wear parts checked on schedule cost 18% less per year than breakers that only got attention when performance dropped. That's not a rounding error—for our fleet it was roughly $1,400 per breaker per year, and we run six primary breakers.

So if you're budgeting parts, block out the scheduled inspection cost first, and treat premature wear like the exception it should be. (If your bushing wear is all on one side, you've got an alignment problem—not a parts problem.)

6. People search "can crusher yeti"—is that a real product?

This shows up in the search terms that lead people to parts pages, so I'll answer it directly. No. Atlas Copco does not make a can crusher. YETI, the cooler company, does not make a can crusher either, as of January 2025 at least. If that's what you're after, you're in the wrong place.

But if you typed "can crusher" because you need a machine for crushing cans, drums, or scrap at industrial scale, the search term you actually want is crusher attachment or scrap shear for an excavator—or a compact hydraulic breaker if you're doing demolition work where crushing is part of the job.

Whatever you end up buying, the cost rule stays the same: match the attachment to the carrier machine's specs (operating pressure, flow, and working weight). A mismatched attachment is the classic cheap-on-paper trap. The attachment price might look attractive. The carrier damage it causes isn't.

7. What's the most costly mistake when ordering Atlas Copco parts?

Ordering without confirming the serial number and part number. In my first year, I made this classic rookie error: I found a seal kit on a third-party site, didn't cross-check it against our machine's serial number, and placed the order. It arrived on time and didn't fit. That mistake cost us $1,200 in reordering and return freight—plus three days of downtime on a drill rig that bills out at $650 per hour when it's running.

I still kick myself for not writing that lesson down sooner. Now our procurement policy requires three things for every parts request:

1. Serial number
2. Part number
3. A screenshot of the diagram showing where the part goes

It sounds bureaucratic until a $2,000 mistake becomes a $20,000 one. And it taught me to trust vendors who are transparent. The dealer who asks you to double-check your serial number before ordering isn't being difficult. They're saving both of you an expensive headache. Give me the full picture up front—including what's not included—and you've got my business.
