Powerscreen CHIEFTAIN 2400 Parts Catalog – Don’t Guess, Look It Up

I’ve been turning wrenches and tracing hydraulic lines for 28 years. When a customer’s CHIEFTAIN 2400 eats a bearing on a Friday night, I don’t have time to call around and guess which pulley fits. That’s why I keep a copy of the Powerscreen CHIEFTAIN 2400 Parts Catalog on the bench. This is a 104-page OEM document – not a third-party scan someone ran through OCR once. It comes straight from Powerscreen International Distribution Ltd., and it shows the exact part numbers, figures, and ordering procedures used at the factory. If you’re running a Powerscreen screener in North America, you need this.

General Information – Why Genuine Parts Matter

Page 3 of the catalog spells it out: “Only spare parts from the original equipment manufacturers can be relied to do so.” They’re talking about material, dimensions, and finish. I’ve seen aftermarket conveyor rollers fail inside 200 hours because someone saved $40 on a part. That downtime costs you a lot more than $40. This manual includes the full text of the warranty and liability clause – read it before you order anything off eBay. The machine serial number is required for every order, and it’s printed right there in section 9.1. You want a part that fits the first time? Start with the factory documentation.

Parts Ordering Procedure: Don’t Skip the Serial Number

Section 9.2 covers the exact steps to order. State the machine type, serial number, item number, part number, description, figure number, quantity, and delivery method. I’ve seen guys order a tail pulley without the figure number and get the wrong one because there are six different pulleys on that deck. The catalog tells you which figure corresponds to which assembly. It’s laid out in a table that matches the spare parts listings later in the book. Follow the procedure and you won’t be sitting on a wrong part for two weeks. The catalog also lists the Powerscreen parts department contact info – phone, fax, email, hours – on pages 4 and 5. If you need to call Northern Ireland or Louisville, Kentucky, the numbers are there.

Contact Details and International Support

This manual gives you both the UK and US contact points. Powerscreen International Distribution Ltd. is in Dungannon, N. Ireland. Terex Crushing & Screening Inc. is in Louisville, Kentucky. Their office hours, phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses are printed. If you’re in North America, you call the Louisville office. The catalog includes a blank order form on page 5. Fill it out, fax it to 001 (502) 736 5203, and keep a copy. Automotive Industry Overview – knowing who to contact and how to order properly is part of running a job site. That’s why I always keep this catalog in the truck.

Spare Parts Listings – 104 Pages of Factory Data

The bulk of the manual is section 9.5, the spare parts listings. Every figure number from 001 to 0902 is broken down with item numbers and part numbers. The index at the back ties each part to its figure. Need the screen tensioning wedge? Look up the figure number for the screen deck assembly. The catalog covers both the direct feed 2-deck track and the 3-deck track versions of the CHIEFTAIN 2400, starting from machine serial number 17000010. If you’re working on a newer unit, this issue 02 EG is current. I tell my junior guys: when you tear something down, pull the catalog page, lay the parts out in order, and check each part number against the figure before you call the parts desk. Saves you the headache of a wrong bolt that’s 2mm too short.

Index of Parts – How to Navigate

Section 9.6 is the index. It lists every part description alphabetically and gives you the figure number and item number. Faster than scrolling through a PDF on a dirty phone screen. I keep a printout in a three-ring binder because the grease doesn’t kill a paper page like it does a tablet. The index is thorough – I’ve looked up conveyor rollers, drive motors, and even the decal kit using it. Powerscreen CHIEFTAIN 2100X/2100S 2012 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs covers a different screener, but if you have a CHIEFTAIN 2400, this is the one you need. POWERSCREEN TROMMEL 615 Parts Manual Issue 03 EG and Powerscreen HORIZON 6203 Parts Manual Issue 01 are also available if you run multiple rigs.

Audience – Who Needs This Catalog?

Any shop or owner-operator that maintains a CHIEFTAIN 2400. Home garage guys probably aren’t working on an industrial screener, but if you are, this is for you. The catalog doesn’t tell you how to repair the machine – that’s a service manual. But if you’re replacing any part, you need the part number from this catalog. I’ve seen guys order a replacement tail pulley from a generic supplier and then find out the shaft diameter is off by 5mm. That’s a wasted day. Factory part numbers guarantee fit and function. Automotive Industry Overview – the same principle applies across heavy equipment: use OEM specs or suffer the consequences.

How do I find the part number for the conveyor belt return roller?

Look in the index under “Roller, return” – it will list the figure number, then flip to that figure in the spare parts listings. The item number next to the part description gives the part number.

Can I use this catalog to order parts for a CHIEFTAIN 2400 with a serial number before 17000010?

This issue covers machines from serial number 17000010 onward. For older machines, you need the earlier issue. Check the machine plate before ordering.

You don’t need to be a master tech to use this catalog. But if you skip the ordering procedure or use a non-OEM part, you own the consequences. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on the bench. Your screener will thank you.
