Forklift Seats & Seat Belts

About 950 of the roughly 1,500 forklift seat listings here are vinyl, and about 120 are cloth. About 230 more are seats that name no material, and the page also holds the pieces around the seat: about 100 seat switches, about 85 cushions and about 35 belts. Most listings begin with the make, so scanning for yours is the fastest first filter.

Vinyl, Cloth and Suspension Seats

Whole seats are listed by material and, when it applies, by suspension. "FOR TOYOTA SEAT - VINYL FULL SUSPENSION 53710-88302-71" is a suspension seat, while "FOR CLARK SEAT 4331930" gives only the make and number. Around 60 listings mention suspension, and cloth versions look like "FOR CATERPILLAR SEAT - CLOTH W/SWITCH A000028641".

That "W/SWITCH" wording shows up on about 260 listings and means the seat comes with its switch. If your truck needs the switch alone, about 100 listings are seat switches sold separately, such as "FOR MITSUBISHI SWITCH - SEAT 91314-10200", and the wider forklift switches page has the other kinds.

Cushions, Rails and Smaller Seat Parts

A worn seat doesn't always mean a new one. Cushions are listed in two pieces, as in "FOR CATERPILLAR CUSHION - SEAT BOTTOM VINYL INCLUDES HINGE A0000-28786" and "FOR JLG 7026900, Cushion, Seat Back", and there are about 85 of them in all. Komatsu has a seat rail ("MP8052 SEAT RAIL KOMATSU FORKLIFT PART"), and Yale lists complete assemblies like "Yale 524279699 Seat Assy".

Choosing a Forklift Seat Replacement by Make

Hyster has about 250 seat listings and Caterpillar about 240. Mitsubishi has about 200, Yale about 190 and Toyota about 160. Clark has about 95, Nissan about 55 and Komatsu about 45, with smaller groups for Linde and Allis-Chalmers. More than 25 listings, some of them universal seats, name three or more makes at once.

Once you've picked the make, match the number. Toyota seat numbers end in -81 or -71, such as 00591-07912-81, Hyster numbers are seven digits like 3182954, and Caterpillar mixes short codes (65489) with longer ones (4791000-E). Search the whole number, then check the material and suspension in the listing.

Forklift Seat Belts

More than 15 belts are retractable, and 11 are lap belts, such as "FOR CROWN BELT - SEAT LAP BLACK 380102-878". The forklift seat belts page lists the ones worded "seat belt", about 30 in all, and some Toyota and universal seats are sold with a belt already fitted.

Forklift Seat FAQ

Is there a seat here that isn't for one specific make?

Yes. About 20 listings are universal, and about half of them name the makes they are meant for, so read that line before you buy.

Who do I call if I can't find my seat?

Phone (708) 507-0707 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Central, Monday to Friday, with the make, model and whatever number is on the old seat.
