Clark Forklift Air Filters

A Clark forklift air filter is one of the simpler parts to swap and one of the easiest to order wrong, because the same truck family can use several different elements. This page lists 140 of them, every one an air filter, and each is identified by the number in its wording rather than by a photo or a loose description.

The filters here are aftermarket. They're made to suit Clark trucks, not by Clark, so a listing like "FOR Clark Air Filter 5204274" is telling you which equipment the number matches. For a wider look at the brand, the Clark forklift parts page holds about 1,770 listings across every part type.

Three Kinds of Clark Forklift Air Filter Number

Open a handful of listings and the numbers sort themselves into a few shapes. The most common is a plain digit string, 103 of the 140, usually seven digits and a good many of them beginning 1804, as in "Clark Air Filter 1804131" and "Clark Air Filter 1804177." Shorter plain numbers turn up too, 29 of them with six digits, such as 448269, 668788 and 928420.

The second shape is an AF code, such as AF1766, AF4939 or AF353K. Some end in a letter, like AF415KM or AF1890M, and the letter is part of the number, so keep it when you search. The third shape mixes digits and letters in the middle, as in 161WA653, 164WA112 and 851SA226. Two dashed numbers, 6013-11030 and A0000-29727, appear as well, so a dash in the number you're holding doesn't rule a listing out.

Matching the Filter You're Holding

Start with whatever is printed or stamped on the old element or its housing. Search that number exactly, then try it again without spaces or a dash if nothing comes up. Because the wording differs from one listing to the next ("REPLACEMENT AIR FILTER for CLARK 6646494," "Forklift Air Filter for Clark 886525"), searching the number alone gets better results than searching a full sentence.

When there's no number left, a call can help. We can often source parts that aren't on the site, so give us the truck model and a short description, and we'll look. You can reach us at (708) 507-0707, or send the same details through the contact page.

Other Clark Pages Worth Opening

A filter change is often the start of a bigger service job on the same truck. Hydraulic oil filters have their own listing on the Clark hydraulic filters page, with 28 listings. If the engine is the issue, there are 29 on the Clark starters page and 26 on Clark ignition switches. For a seat that has seen better days, see the Clark seats page with 96.

If you also run other makes, the same filter type has pages for them. Compare against Yale air filters (about 140), Toyota air filters (about 175) and Mitsubishi air filters (about 270). One Clark filter also names Hyster in its wording, and the Hyster air filters page holds about 165 more. Filters for every make sit together on the main forklift air filters page, which is a good place to compare if your truck isn't listed under Clark.

Clark Air Filter FAQ

Does every listing here describe a stand-alone air filter?

Yes. All 140 are air filters, with no kits or repair listings mixed in. That keeps the wording simple, but it also means the number is your main way to pick one.

Why do two Clark filters look alike but carry different numbers?

Different trucks and engines can use similar-looking elements, and the number is what separates them. Keep the number from the old filter beside you while you compare.

Is an AF number the same as a Clark number?

Not necessarily. The AF codes and the plain digit strings sit in the same list, but they are different numbering styles, so search whichever one is printed on your element.

Which spelling of the make should I search?

Either works. Wording varies between "Clark," "CLARK" and "FOR Clark," so the capital letters make no difference, and the number you search will matter more.
