Forklift Hour Meters

An hour meter counts how many hours a machine has run, and it is often mounted on the dash next to other gauges. This page lists 26 forklift hour meter listings for lift trucks, skid steers, aerial lifts and a walkie, and it's small enough that you can scan the whole group once you know what to look for.

Forklift Hour Meter Styles

Most are straightforward meters, worded something like "Tennant 377433, Hour Meter," "HYSTER FORKLIFT HOUR METER 1354783" or "For Caterpillar 91305-07700 Hour Meter." Nine say "gauge" in the title, and a few of those describe the unit: "FOR JLG 2420165, GAUGE-HOUR METER-10-80V-2 TERM HOLEOPENINGS 1 3/4 INCH" gives the voltage range, the number of terminals and the size of the panel hole. Another reads "NEW FOR GENIE DIGITAL HOUR METER GAUGE PART# 56100GT, 56100."

Three combine the hour count with another reading. One is "752060402 HOUR METER & BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR FOR YALE MP / MPB040AC," another is "Battery Indicator and Hour Meter 72/80V" and the third pairs it with a fuel gauge on a Genie. If your old instrument showed both, pick one of those, since a plain meter won't replace the second reading.

The Crown listing "72733-003 HOUR METER KIT FOR CROWN GPW WALKIE" is a kit, and a JLG listing, "HOUR METER-MOD 976EM PACKING PART # 90205688 as pictured," refers to a picture, so look at the photo on that listing before ordering.

Hour Meters by Make

Genie has five listings and Yale four. JLG and Bobcat have three each, with the Bobcat ones listed for skid steers, as in "FOR Bobcat Skid Steer 6551203 Hour Meter." Crown has two, and Toyota, Hyster, Caterpillar, Tennant, Snorkel/Upright and MEC have one each.

Their make pages go further: Yale, JLG, Bobcat, Crown, Toyota and Tennant. The full range of dash instruments is on the forklift gauges page, which holds more than 450 listings including these.

Matching Numbers and Voltage

Genie's hour meter number 19506 shows up on three listings, in forms like "NEW Genie Hour Meter (Genie #: 19506, 19506GT)" and "for Genie GS-4390 GAUGE, HOUR METER 19506." Toyota's is dashed, as in 57115-U2170-71. The voltage in the title, such as 10-80V on a JLG or Yale gauge and 12-80V on "FOR HOBBS 15186 Hour Meter 12-80V," is the quickest way to narrow down a candidate.

Hour Meter FAQ

Does a new meter start at zero?

The listings don't say. Where a title mentions "NEW," as in "NEW FOR GENIE DIGITAL HOUR METER GAUGE," it describes the part's condition and nothing about its hour count.
