Forklift Nuts

Forklift nuts on this page number about 3,200, and one type dominates: more than 1,800 are jam nuts. Another 900 or so say hex and more than 250 say lock. Nearly every listing begins with "For" (3,217 of the 3,244), followed by the make and then the part number.

Jam, Hex and Lock Nuts

In most listings 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 and screws 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?

Nearly every listing starts with the make and then carries a part number. The same catalog covers more than 45,000 parts for forklifts, aerial lifts, floor scrubbers, personnel carriers and pallet jacks, so the make and the number together narrow a nut down.

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.
