Clark Forklift Starters

When a Clark lift truck cranks slowly or not at all, the starter is one of the first parts people check, and this page has 29 listings to compare. Nearly all are starters, 27 in all, with a starter solenoid and a starter relay making up the other two. These are aftermarket parts, made to fit Clark trucks rather than made by Clark, so the Clark name is there to help you match numbers.

Reading a Clark Forklift Starter Listing

Two styles of wording account for most listings. One reads "Forklift Starter FOR Clark Part # 3785426 - NEW," with the number in the middle. The other leads with the number, as in "FOR CLARK 934030, STARTER - NEW." Either way, the digits are what identify the starter, so search them alone and ignore the rest.

Of the 29, 22 say "new" and one says "Reman." in the wording: "Forklift Starter FOR Clark Part # 7000292 - Reman." Reman means a remanufactured unit rather than a newly built one, so read for that tag if it matters to your repair. A few listings carry no tag at all, like "Forklift Starter for Clark Part # 909951."

Clark Starter Part Numbers by Shape

The largest cluster is seven digits, which more than half of the 29 listings carry (1767120, 3339645, 3785426, 2385010 and others). Six-digit numbers come next, 11 of them, and all begin with 9: 933605, 933606, 934026, 934030, 928137, 916303 and 909329. Two numbers have eight digits, 10479613 and 23377359. Short or long, none of them contain dashes, so you can type the number as it is printed on the old starter.

One listing names three numbers at once: "Part # 2355693 / 2355694 / 23377359 - NEW." If your starter carries any of those three, that listing names it. Another, "911410 Starter for Clark Forklift," is written with the 4G52 and 4G54 engines, so it's useful when the engine code is easier to read than the starter's own number. A third notes that the unit comes with no nose cone ("FOR CLARK 918306, STARTER - NEW NB WITH NO NOSE CONE ON STARTER"), a detail to compare against the one you took off.

Solenoids and Relays

Two listings are not starters. "FOR CLARK STARTER SOLENOID 909332" is the solenoid, and "1513816 STARTER 12 VOLT RELAY FOR CLARK" is a relay. When a starter clicks but doesn't turn the engine, these are simpler parts to rule out, although a weak battery or the starter itself can cause the same symptom. For more choice there are the forklift solenoids page, which holds about 560, and the forklift fuses and relays page, with about 270.

If the key switch is what you suspect, the Clark ignition switches page has 26 listings. Parts for the rest of the truck are on the main Clark forklift parts page.

Starters for Other Makes

Starters from other brands sit on their own pages: Toyota starters (about 50), Yale starters (about 35) and Hyster starters (about 35). If your shop runs a mix, the forklift starters page brings all of them together, about 490 listings in total. We ship across the United States to repair shops, fleet managers, rental yards and equipment owners, so a single order can cover trucks of several makes.

Clark Starter FAQ

Is a reman starter the same as a new one?

No. One Clark listing is marked "Reman.", while 22 are marked new. Check the word in the wording to see which you are getting.

My starter number has a slash in it. What now?

A slash usually separates several numbers on one listing, as in 2355693 / 2355694 / 23377359. Search the first one, or any of them.

Can I search by engine code instead?

Only one listing names engines, the 4G52 and 4G54 one. For the others, use the number printed on the starter, or send the truck model by the contact page and we'll look.
