Forklift Bolts and Screws

Forklift bolts are the bulk of this page: more than 4,600 listings that name a bolt, a screw or a stud. About 2,400 say bolt, more than 1,300 say screw and about 820 say capscrew, while studs are a small group of a couple of dozen. Nearly every listing starts with "For" and the make, followed by the head style when there is one and then the maker's number, as in "For Hyundai Bolt - Hex 016011495". That makes the make, the head style and the number the three things to search with.

Forklift Bolts by Head Style

Hex is the most common head, on more than a quarter of the page, among them "For Komatsu Bolt - Hex 8004741". Flange heads come to more than 400 listings, and 248 of them are bolts, such as "For JLG Bolt - Flange 70025122". About 300 say socket, including "For Baker Capscrew - Socket Head 9045316183", and 245 say hollow, as in "For Linde Screw - Hollow 1119246".

Smaller styles matter if you know exactly what you pulled off the machine. There are 17 carriage bolts, 21 set screws and about 25 round-head screws, the last worded like "For Crown Lift Truck 1.0 RCTL - SCREW - ROUND HEAD 060012-016".

Sizes Written Into the Listing

Metric sizes show up more often than inch sizes. M8 is the most common, in more than 500 listings, and about 370 of those use the same wording, "M8 -1.25X25MM", as in "For Komatsu Bolt - Hex- M8 -1.25X25MM 4970028". M6 appears in about 90 and M16 in about 45.

Inch sizes are fewer: about 170 listings mention 3/8 and about 45 say 1/4-20. You'll also see 8.8 in about 155 listings, which is a metric strength class, and GR8, short for grade 8, in about 105.

Not Every Listing Is a Plain Fastener

Because the page gathers every listing that mentions a bolt, screw or stud, some are other parts. About 100 are screws, bolts and screw plugs for hydraulic units, worded with the number first and the make after "for", such as "906-0033 COLLAR SCREW - SHORT FOR BLUE GIANT MT-50 HYDRAULIC UNIT". If you need the pump or cylinder itself, try hydraulic pumps, valves and cylinders.

About 120 listings are screw plugs, some of them the hydraulic unit ones above, and many also appear on the forklift plugs page. Another 26 are switches, 23 of them sealed toggle switches whose listings include the word screw. If you want the switch itself, start with forklift switches. About 10 are clamps, including exhaust clamps sold with a U-bolt.

Starting From the Make

Linde and Baker listings together come to about 400. Next are Genie at about 300, Mitsubishi at about 285 and Crown at about 275, then Hyster with about 240 and Yale with about 215. Komatsu has about 215, Caterpillar about 200 and Bobcat about 195.

Genie and Crown listings often name a model. The Genie GR-20 and GR-20J account for about 75 listings, and the Crown RCTF and RCTL for about 70 each. The same number can also be sold under more than one make: 8004741 is listed for both Komatsu and Still, so a number search without the make is worth running.

Forklift Bolt FAQ

Is a capscrew different from a bolt in these listings?

They're separate words, and about one capscrew in five names a head style such as socket head, so for many of them the number and size do the work. If you aren't sure which one your old fastener is, search both.

Can I get a genuine OEM bolt?

Call (708) 507-0707 and ask what is available. The bolts on this page are listed by make and number, so have both ready.
