Forklift Flywheels

One word can mean three different parts when you search for a forklift flywheel. This page lists 51 listings, covering plain flywheels, flywheel and ring gear assemblies, and ring gears sold on their own. If you're not sure which of the three your old part was, the wording of each title will settle it.

Flywheels, Assemblies and Ring Gears

Two thirds of them name no gear and are the flywheel itself or a flywheel assembly, as in "Hyster 1605988, Flywheel, Forklift" and "FOR YALE FLYWHEEL 580000141." Some add an accessory, such as "505972553 NEW FLYWHEEL & SPACER FOR YALE FORKLIFT." Several are sold as assemblies with the ring gear already on, for example "Yale 580071213, Flywheel and Ring Gear Assembly" and "FOR Komatsu 12310-K9302, Flywheel & Ring Gear Assembly."

About 17 listings name a gear, and many of those are the gear alone. They read "for Hyster 0326605, Ring Gear, For Flywheel" or "FOR LINDE GEAR - FLYWHEEL RING 31162121," and a ring gear listing sometimes gives a tooth count: "FOR CUMMINS GEAR - FLYWHEEL RING 159 TOOTH 3901774," and a Yale flywheel is listed at 122 teeth. If your flywheel is fine and only the teeth are worn, this is the group to check.

Forklift Flywheels by Make

Yale has the most, with 13 listings, and Toyota has 11. Hyster has 7, Nissan and Komatsu have 3 each, and Bobcat, Genie and Kalmar each have 2. You'll also see single listings for Clark, Caterpillar, Charlatte, Daewoo, Linde and Cummins. The Toyota, Hyster, Nissan and Komatsu pages hold the rest of those makes' ranges, along with Bobcat and Kalmar.

One number can serve two names. "FOR NISSAN FLYWHEEL ASSEMBLY 12331-50K01" and "FOR KOMATSU FLYWHEEL ASSEMBLY 12331-50K01" are the same digits under two makes, so search the number if your truck carries the other badge.

Matching a Flywheel by Number

Toyota's flywheel numbers start with 32101 or 13405 and end in -71. Examples are "FOR Toyota 32101-20581-71, Flywheel" and "FOR TOYOTA FLYWHEEL ASSEMBLY 13405-30541-71." Two list "automatic transmission" in the title, for example "for Toyota 32101-23030-71, Automatic Transmission Flywheel," so check that wording against your truck's drivetrain. One Toyota listing also names a truck, "42-7FGN25."

Yale numbers are mostly nine digits with no dashes, such as 913998400 and 580064479. Hyster uses six or seven digits. Not every flywheel here belongs to a lift truck: a Ford tractor ring gear and a Case flywheel sit in the group, and a Genie "FLYWHEEL - FLANGE GREEN PLASTIC" is a different kind of part altogether.

Flywheel FAQ

Do I need the ring gear too?

Read the title. Six listings name both parts, as in "Flywheel and Ring Gear Assembly," while the plain flywheel listings and the nine that say only "Flywheel Assembly" do not mention a ring gear.

What if I can't find my flywheel?

Search the number on the old part first, then try the wider engine parts page, which also covers forklift pulleys. A genuine OEM flywheel is a separate request: call (708) 507-0707 and we'll say which ones are available.
