Hyster Forklift Keys

Two very different parts share the word "key" on this page, and it pays to know which one you need. Some of the 28 listings are Hyster forklift ignition keys and key sets. Twelve are Woodruff keys, small shaft parts that have nothing to do with a switch.

The ignition keys are the ones to read if you've lost one or need a spare. The Woodruff listings are for a repair job on the truck itself, and they come after that.

Ignition Keys, Sets and Packs

The listings that mention a truck are the easiest to place. "2051303 KEY FOR HYSTER W40Z / W45Z" and "262798 KEYS, SET OF 2 FOR HYSTER W40Z / W45Z" both name the same two models. "FOR Yale/FOR Hyster 910907100, IGNITION KEY, GLC050DE" names a Yale model, and "FORKLIFT IGNITION KEY PART # 186304" and "Key FOR Hyster part number 1593629" give only a number.

Quantity varies. "FOR HYSTER FORKLIFT KEY SET OF TWO 181333" is a pair, while "FOR Hyster Key Contact Switch Ignition 10 Pack 3051835" is a pack of ten. Count the keys in the line before you order, since a single key and a set can sit side by side in the results.

Small parts are where it helps to know the seller. Our eBay store, ouroverstock, has been selling since 2004, and we're a Top Rated Seller with more than 200,000 items sold and 99.9% positive feedback. That record is there for you to check before you order.

Woodruff Keys: Twelve Listings, Six Numbers

A Woodruff key is a small machine key that holds a part to a shaft. It is not something you turn in a switch. Twelve listings are worded "For Hyster Key - Woodruff" with a number, and the numbers repeat in different lengths: 206, 000206 and 0000206 are three listings for what looks like one number.

The same happens with 992386 and 0992386, with 984023 and 0984023, with 52624 and 0052624, and with 9477 and 0009477. Only 3050159 stands alone. Search with and without the leading zeros, and expect more than one hit for a single part.

Keys Listed for More Than One Make

Eight of the 28 listings name more than one make, and several are keys cut for a whole group of trucks. One line covers Clark, Yale, Daewoo, Gradall and JLG alongside Hyster, and another is an equipment key that adds Mustang, Ingersoll Rand and Skytrac. The "For Hyster" opening on more than half of the listings marks an aftermarket part made to suit Hyster trucks, not a part made by Hyster.

If your yard runs other makes, Mustang parts covers one of the makes named in these keys, Genie keys has about 75 listings, and the forklift keys page for every make runs to about 355. For the ignition itself, Hyster ignition switches has 46.

For wider browsing, the Hyster forklift parts page holds the whole range, with forklift ignition switches for every make at about 325 listings.

Hyster Forklift Key FAQ

Will a replacement switch come with a key?

It depends on the line. "254007 IGNITION SWITCH W/2 KEYS" says it does, and "SWITCH - KEY DOES NOT INCLUDE KEY 580037904" says it doesn't. Four of the listings here mention a switch, so read for either wording.

Is a Woodruff key an ignition key?

No. It's a shaft part, and the line says "Key - Woodruff" to show that. If you need a key for the switch, choose one of the ignition key lines instead.

How do I choose the right key for my truck?

Match the model or the number. The W40Z and W45Z keys, 2051303 and 262798, are written for those models, and 910907100 is written for the GLC050DE.
