Forklift Parts

With more than 30,000 forklift parts across the catalog, the quickest way in is to decide what you know first. If you know the make on the truck's data plate, start with the brand. If you know what failed, start with the part type. Either way, the pages linked below hold the actual listings, and this page is the map that gets you to them.

Most of the listings are written the way a parts counter would say them: the make, the part name and the part number, in that order or close to it. That wording is what you'll compare with whatever came off the truck, so the sections below also explain how to read it.

Forklift Parts by Brand

Caterpillar is the largest make in this group, with about 3,500 listings. Hyster forklift parts follow at about 3,200 and Crown at about 3,100. After those come Yale forklift parts at about 3,000, Toyota at about 2,700 and Mitsubishi at about 2,300.

The middle of the list is Komatsu with about 2,000, Clark with about 1,850, Linde and Baker with about 1,800 and Nissan with about 1,800, UniCarriers included. Allis-Chalmers adds about 1,050 more, and TCM about 900. Raymond turns up in about 730 listings, Daewoo in about 675 and Still in about 240.

Forklift Parts by Type

If the truck is down and you know the failed component, go by type. Fasteners are the biggest family by a wide margin, with about 8,150 listings that are washers, nuts, bolts, screws or studs. Among them are about 3,000 washers and shims, about 2,200 nuts and about 2,850 bolts, screws and studs. Sizes sit right in the wording, so a search for M6 (about 410 listings), M14 (about 280) or 1/4-28 (about 310) narrows the pile quickly.

Filters come next. There are about 2,000 air filters, usually worded as simply as "Hyster Air Filter 182645" or "Yale Air Filter 220100434". The make and the number are usually all you need to compare, so filters are among the simpler parts to match.

The operator side of the truck is well covered too. You'll find about 1,310 controllers and control cards in the controllers and control cards group, and about 1,100 seats in the seats and seat belts group. About 430 switches sit alongside them.

Hydraulics and brakes make up the working end, and here the wording matters. The hydraulic pumps, valves and cylinders page is the place to start, but about 1,250 listings mention a cylinder, and about 475 of those are kits, about 395 are master cylinders and about 265 are wheel cylinders. About 685 listings mention a pump, and about 295 of those are water pumps. Around 640 fittings (about 555 of them grease fittings), about 200 hoses and about 270 hose clamps sit on the fluid side. For stopping, there are about 600 brake shoes.

Sealing and rotating parts round things out: about 855 gaskets, about 525 seal kits and about 220 O-rings, plus about 800 bearings, mostly mast roller, ball, thrust and taper bearings, on the wheel bearings page. Gaskets, O-rings and other sealing parts are grouped on the seals, gaskets and O-rings page. Cosmetic parts are there as well, since about 900 listings are paint, from spray cans to gallons, such as "FOR MITSUBISHI PAINT - JEWEL GREEN GALLON SY59356". The forklift decals and paint page keeps those together.

Reading a Forklift Part Listing

About 11,000 listings carry a dashed part number, so the dashes and the tail end of the number are worth learning. Toyota numbers usually finish in -71 or -81, as in "Toyota Air Filter 00591-34096-81", and roughly 1,700 listings end in -71 alone. A three-digit tail such as -001, -002 or -003 is common elsewhere, for example 064133-002 on a Crown seal. Search the whole number with its tail, because the tail is part of how the listing is worded.

Many listings also name the truck. Crown listings often give the series, such as 1.0 RCTL (about 510 listings) or 1.0 RCTF (about 580). Hyster model codes like W40Z and W45Z turn up in about 76 listings each. When the part number has worn off, the model on the data plate plus the part name is the next best search.

What "For Hyster" and "For Yale" Mean

About 25,400 listings start with "For" followed by a make, as in "For Komatsu Washer - Flat 01642-20810". That wording means the part is made to fit that manufacturer's equipment, not made by that manufacturer. The manufacturer's name and number work as a reference, the same way a cross-reference chart does, and you compare them against the part on your truck.

The other side of that coin is that the catalog is mostly aftermarket. A small group is described differently: about 660 listings use the word "new", and about 40 say they are remanufactured or rebuilt. Read the full wording of a listing when the difference matters to you.

Kits, Repair Listings and Parts That Cover Several Makes

About 1,300 listings are kits: a set of parts sold together, mostly seals and gaskets for a rebuild, not a single component. A listing such as "FOR CLARK SEAL KIT - TILT CYLINDER 1811582" tells you the make, the cylinder it belongs to and the number to compare.

The word "repair" shows up in about 1,700 listings, and about 1,500 of them are not kits. Read these closely before ordering, since the wording does not always describe a plain new part. Last, about 420 listings name more than one make. "FOR KOMATSU FOR CASCADE SHEAVE - CHAIN" is a typical case. In a mixed fleet, a multi-make listing can save you a second search.

Forklift Parts Catalog FAQ

What is the fastest way to find a forklift part?

Use the part number if you have one: search it at the top of any page. If you don't, you can browse by manufacturer or by part type using the lists on this page.

Are lift truck parts and forklift parts different?

No. Lift truck parts and forklift parts are two names for the same thing, and the catalog is the same whichever phrase you search. Only about 2,450 listings say "forklift" and about 1,200 say "lift truck"; most give just the make, the part name and the number.

Are these aftermarket forklift parts?

Most of them, yes. Aftermarket forklift parts are made to fit a given make, and they are not made by that manufacturer. The "For" at the start of a listing is how you can tell.

How do I know who I'm buying from?

You can check us out before ordering. On eBay, where we've traded as ouroverstock since 2004, we're a Top Rated Seller with 99.9% positive feedback after more than 200,000 items sold.

What if my truck's make isn't in the brand list?

Search the part number or the part name together with the make. Raymond, Daewoo and Still all appear in listing wording, even though they don't have their own page on this list.
