Forklift Alternators

This page has 286 listings: 255 forklift alternators, 25 belts and 6 pulleys, from Yale, Toyota and Hyster units to Genie, Caterpillar and JLG. About 160 say new and 27 say reman or remanufactured, with 23 of those also carrying the word new. One make appears with several alternators, so the listing's details (amps, engine, pulley) tell them apart.

Forklift Alternators by Make

Yale and Toyota are tied at 41 listings each, and Hyster has 31. Yale alternators, Toyota alternators and Hyster alternators each have their own page. The Caterpillar list is 27, Genie 26, JLG 14, Clark 11, and Bobcat and Komatsu 10 each. Mitsubishi has 9.

Both starters and alternators are covered on the forklift alternator and starter parts page, and the neighboring starters page has the cranking side.

What the Listing Details Tell You

About 30 listings give the output: "FOR NISSAN ALTERNATOR - NEW 35 AMPS 23100-87V10","Z-5812003411 Alternator for TCM Forklift Fits 4FE1 Diesel Engine 35 Amp" and "RE506196 ALTERNATOR, 12 VOLT, 55 AMP FOR JOHN DEERE". Some name the engine instead, as with "FOR HYSTER ALTERNATOR - NEW GM 1.6 L 1534017". Amps and engine are two of the details a listing can give for one make's alternators.

Pulleys are the other thing to check. About 45 listings mention one, and 32 say "NO PULLEY", as in "FOR YALE ALTERNATOR - NEW NO PULLEY 913100100". That means the unit comes without one, and the forklift pulley page lists about 130 to choose from.

Remanufactured Alternators

Of the 27 remanufactured units, 25 are for Toyota, Hyster or Yale, and the numbers on 18 of them end in R, like HY3004580R and YT220007244-R. Toyota numbers often carry a -71 tail, on 25 of the 41 Toyota listings, for example 27060-30530-71. Whichever you're after, copy the entire number, since two numbers may differ by one digit only.

We ship these across the United States to repair shops, fleet managers, rental yards and equipment owners, and many listings say "NEW" or "REMAN" to tell you which kind you're getting. About 125 say neither, so read the whole title.

Belts and Cooling Parts

An alternator is driven by a belt, and about 25 belts are listed with it, such as "FOR ADVANCE BELT - ALTERNATOR 56315321" and "FOR Genie GS-4390 BELT, ALTERNATOR- FAN- WATER PUMP 52580". Ten of the belts also name the fan or the water pump, and the cooling fans and water pumps pages cover those parts.

Forklift Alternator FAQ

Are these only for forklifts?

No. Some listings name other equipment, including JCB, John Deere and Tennant ("TENNANT 393209 ALTERNATOR"). Each title names a make.

Do the listings give the voltage?

Only seven do, such as "12 VOLT" or "12V/95A", so compare that figure with your old unit when it's there.
