From Fairfield, California to the World

Published: July 12, 2026  |  By FP Smith Parts & Equipment

Our 20-acre Fairfield facility stocks millions of parts ready for global shipment — from small packages to full containers.

At FP Smith Parts & Equipment, our story begins in the heart of Northern California’s Solano County, on 20 acres of warehouse, yard, and shop facilities at 3190 Ramsey Road in Fairfield. What started as a local family business in 1947 has grown into a trusted global supplier of new OEM surplus, quality used, reconditioned, and hard-to-find parts for heavy construction, mining, agricultural, quarry, and industrial equipment.

Today, we proudly ship from Fairfield, California to customers worldwide — and we’ve been doing it reliably for decades. Whether you need a small bearing package for a John Deere tractor in Australia, a partial container of Komatsu undercarriage components for a project in South America, or a full container (or even complete equipment) heading to a mine in Africa, our experienced team makes global logistics seamless.

Decades of Expertise in International Shipping

Our global reach isn’t new — it’s built on generations of hands-on experience. As a stocking dealer with millions of parts in inventory (including major brands like Komatsu, Caterpillar, Cummins, International Harvester, John Deere, Dressta, Daewoo, and more), we understand the unique challenges of moving heavy equipment parts across borders.

We handle everything from:

• Small packages — Fast air or ground shipment of individual components, gauges, seals, filters, and bearings.
• Large packages and pallets — Secure crating for hydraulic pumps, radiators, turbochargers, and larger assemblies.
• Partial containers (LCL) — Cost-effective consolidation for mixed orders.
• Full containers (FCL) — Efficient bulk shipments of undercarriage parts, engine components, or transmission rebuild kits.
• Complete equipment — From tractors and loaders to specialized machinery, with full export coordination.

Our team knows the ins and outs of international freight: HS codes, NMFC classifications, export documentation, customs requirements, and the fastest routing options to minimize downtime on your job sites.

Expert Packaging, Labeling, and Inspection — Every Time

Heavy equipment parts face rough handling, long ocean voyages, extreme temperatures, and humidity. That’s why we treat every shipment with the care it deserves:

• Custom packaging solutions — Heavy-duty crates, reinforced pallets, shrink-wrapping, foam inserts, and desiccant packs to protect against damage and corrosion.
• Detailed labeling — Clear international shipping labels, barcoding, and documentation that meets destination country requirements.
• Thorough inspection — Every order is verified for accuracy, condition (especially reconditioned or used items), and completeness before it leaves our facility. We catch issues before they become problems for you.
• Same-day shipping — Orders placed before our cutoff often ship the same day, giving you the fastest possible head start on international transit.
