Forklift LP Regulators

The word regulator covers more than one part here, so the first step with a forklift LP regulator is making sure you're in the right group. This page has about 255 regulator listings. Most are propane pressure regulators, also called converters or vaporizers, but around 20 are voltage regulators for the electrical system, and at least one is a fuel pressure regulator.

Forklift LP Regulator Types

The largest group is the IMPCO converter, with about 104 listings, and about 90 of them are worded the same way: "FOR YALE 520037830, FOR IMPCO MODEL COBRA LP CONVERTER REGULATOR VAPORIZER". The make and its own number come first, then the unit description. That pattern repeats for Clark, Komatsu, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Crown, Linde, Baker, Kalmar and Daewoo, so a number from your truck maker is what separates one from another.

Aisan-built regulators are mainly for Toyota. About 21 listings name Aisan, with examples such as "FOR TOYOTA REGULATOR ASSEMBLY - LPG AISAN 23550-U2170-71" and "REGULATOR for (AISAN) 23530-U1104-71". Voltage regulators are in a different style entirely: "FOR Genie 60739GT, 60739 - NEW FOR Genie Voltage Regulator (220V)" and "518794647 NEW VOLTAGE REGULATOR FOR YALE FORKLIFT". Those belong to the electrical system, not the fuel system, so skip them if you're after a propane part.

Repair Kits and Parts for the Regulator

You may not need a whole regulator. About 25 listings are kits, and they include a diaphragm kit, a lockoff kit and valve kits. One example is "for Hyster 1375031, REPAIR KIT, LPG REGULATOR, Forklift S50XL", and another is "Yale 580017217, REPAIR KIT, LPG REGULATOR - (Diaphragm)(Open Loop) GLP050RG". The model code at the end of each is the truck, so you can search that as well. For IMPCO Model J units, "MODEL J CONVERTER/REGULATOR VFF30 LOCKOFF KIT FOR IMPCO NEW" is an example.

The rest of the propane system lives on neighboring pages. Forklift fuel tanks covers the cylinders and fittings, forklift carburetors is the gasoline-side page, and forklift fuel pumps and LP systems gathers the whole fuel side.

Regulator FAQ

Are there regulators for machines other than forklifts?

A few. One example is "FOR SNORKEL 7630681, REGULATOR - FUEL PRESSURE FORD LRG-425 EFT", and JLG and Bobcat skid steer listings are in the set as well.

Which of the three words should I search, converter, regulator or vaporizer?

Any of them. Most of the IMPCO listings carry all three in one line, and about 107 listings mention vaporizer.
