Forklift Filters

More than 4,700 listings sit under forklift filters, and about two out of three are air filters. Oil, hydraulic and fuel filters make up most of the rest, followed by about 275 listings that just say filter and a smaller mix of transmission, breather and panel filters. Nearly every listing is found by number, so the quickest way in is to know which kind of filter your old one was and what is printed on it.

Forklift Filters by Type

Air filters come first, with about 3,300 listings and their own forklift air filters page. After them come about 370 oil filters, about 285 fuel filters and about 265 hydraulic filters. If you already know the type, go to that page and skip the rest.

The remaining listings are more specific. Around 45 are breathers, about 125 mention a panel or an element, and "For Hyster 1328692, Automatic Transmission oil Filter, Forklift" is one of more than 40 that name the transmission. Floor-care machines show up as well, with listings like "FOR CLARKE FOR ADVANCE 1471250600 HEPA FILTER H13" and "FOR MINUTEMAN FILTER - PANEL STANDARD CELLULOUS 3305645."

Filters by Truck Make

Caterpillar has the biggest share, with about 375 listings, and Mitsubishi follows with about 315. Toyota has about 260, Hyster about 240, Komatsu about 230, Clark and Yale about 210 each, Allis Chalmers about 185 and Nissan about 175. Bobcat has about 220, including roughly 110 skid steer listings, and Genie has about 150.

Several makes have a page of their own that isolates the filters: Toyota air filters with about 175 listings, Hyster air filters with about 165, and Mitsubishi air filters with about 270. Smaller ones cover Nissan, Clark and Yale filters, plus Bobcat skid steer filters and Doosan and Daewoo filters.

Matching a Filter to Its Number

The number on the old filter may belong to the truck maker or to the company that built the filter. Maker numbers look like "FOR Komatsu Air Filter 3EB-01-25830" and "TCM 11421-51830 FILTER - AIR," and Toyota ones usually end in -71 or -81, as in "FOR Toyota Air Filter 00591-10741-81." Filter brand numbers are shorter. About 230 listings name Donaldson, about 100 name Wix, with listings such as "FOR Wix Air Filter 42296," and about 75 name Baldwin.

Some listings read "REPLACEMENT AIR FILTER FOR ISUZU 9142206530," which names the engine or truck maker just before the number. Isuzu appears on roughly 60 listings, so it's worth a search if your engine is one of theirs. We ship filters to repair shops, fleet managers, rental yards and equipment owners across the United States.

Forklift Filters FAQ

Why do skid steer filters show up here?

About 110 listings are for Bobcat skid steers, such as "FOR Bobcat Skid Steer 3885315 Fuel Filter." They are in this group because the group is built from words such as filter, breather and strainer in the title, not from the machine.

Can I tell the filter type from the listing?

Look for the word next to "filter" in the title: air, oil, fuel or hydraulic. It may come before the word filter or after it, as in "FOR GENIE FILTER - FUEL 102287 102287GT". About 275 listings, like "FOR Bobcat Skid Steer 6512160 Filter," just say filter, so the number is the only clue.
