Forklift Nuts

Forklift nuts on this page number about 3,200, and one type dominates: more than 1,800 are jam nuts. Another 920 or so are hex nuts and roughly 255 are lock nuts. Nearly every listing begins with "For" and the maker's name, so the quickest way in is the make plus the number from your old nut or parts diagram.

Jam, Hex and Lock Nuts

The nut type sits right after the word "Nut" in the wording. Jam nuts read like "For Nissan Nut - Jam 08911-1081", "For Hyster Nut - Jam 3056550" and "For Komatsu Nut - Jam 9-0911-0508-0". Hex nuts look like "For Clark Nut - Hex 925913" and "For Mitsubishi Nut - Hex 5C1782", and lock nuts like "For Yale Nut - Lock 1506670" or "FOR Taylor Dunn 88-149-81, Lock Nut". A few are one-offs, such as the wing nut "FOR CLARKE 56009111 NUT- 1/4-20 WING ZINC".

Thread Sizes You Can Search

About 430 hex nuts give a metric thread of M6-1.0 in brackets, as in "For Bobcat Nut - Hex (M6-1.0) 25DM6" and "For JLG Nut - Hex (M6-1.0) 3290601". Inch sizes are rarer: about 30 say 1/4-20, and a handful say 5/16-18, 8-32, 10-32 or 1/2-20. If your nut is not stamped with a size, search the type and make, then compare the numbers.

Bolts to go with them are on the forklift bolts page, which is a separate group of more than 4,500 listings.

Forklift Nuts FAQ

Do I need to know the make to find a nut?

It helps, since most listings start with it, but the number alone also works. The same catalog covers more than 45,000 parts for forklifts, aerial lifts, floor scrubbers, personnel carriers and pallet jacks, so a bare number search is the cleanest way to cut through it.

Are castle nuts listed?

Yes. 18 listings use the word castle, from Genie (8), Charlatte (6), Crown (2), Skyjack and Toyota, as in "for GENIE GR-15 NUT CASTLEGR Part #69549". Search the word castle together with the make.
