Forklift Wheel Cylinders

A wheel cylinder sits at the brake drum and pushes the shoes outward, and this page holds about 165 listings for them, kits included. Nearly every forklift wheel cylinder listing is named by brand and part number, and 15 also say which side of the truck it fits. About 15 listings say new, and 10 are kits, 9 of them repair kits to rebuild a cylinder rather than replace it.

Finding the Right Side

Left and right cylinders are often different parts, and some names say so. Of the 165, 9 mention left, 9 mention right and 9 use the word side, as in "Forklift Wheel Cylinder for Komatsu 34C-30-11701 fits Left Side" and "Forklift Wheel Cylinder FOR Nissan 44101-L9002 fits Right Side". Some cover both: "FOR Hyster ZS101847491, WHEEL CYLINDER (Right /Left) H25E" is one example, and "Forklift Wheel Cylinder for Komatsu 4940945 fits Right and Left Side" is another.

Check which side your old cylinder came from before you compare numbers. A listing that gives no side at all, such as "Yale 580071321, Wheel Cylinder", is going by the part number alone.

Wheel Cylinder Repair Kits

If the cylinder body is fine, a repair kit may do. Examples include "For Yale 904165100, REPAIR KIT, WHEEL CYLINDER, Forklift" and "FOR Hyster 1334647, REPAIR KIT, WHEEL CYLINDER, Forklift H60XM", plus "For Toyota 04475-30061-71, Repair Kit, For Wheel Cylinder". About 9 listings use the word repair. For cylinder kits across the catalog, see hydraulic pumps, valves and cylinders.

Wheel Cylinders by Brand

Toyota has the most, with about 30 listings on the Toyota wheel cylinders page. Clark has about 25 and Hyster about 24, followed by Yale at 19, Nissan at 15 and Komatsu at 13. Smaller sets cover Caterpillar (8), TCM (6), Mitsubishi (5) and Allis-Chalmers (5). Linde and Taylor Dunn have 3 each.

Some names give the model as well, like Allis-Chalmers "4906120, WHEEL CYLINDER, Forklift ACP60, ACP80", and Clark's GPX20. When the model is in the name, it's a quick way to rule listings in or out.

Matching Part Numbers

Toyota numbers often end in -71, as in "47410-12000-71 WHEEL CYLINDER TOYOTA", and about 29 listings share that ending. Near-identical numbers can be different parts. Nissan has 44101-L1100 and 44101-L1101 as separate listings, so match the final digit too. Mitsubishi lists several numbers in one name, "91446-00900, 91446-00901, 93446-01300", so search for any of them.

If the number is worn off, call (708) 507-0707, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Central, with the brand, the model and the side. The neighbors in the brake system are forklift master cylinders and forklift brake drums, and the full range is under forklift brake parts.

Forklift Wheel Cylinder FAQ

Can I order only the repair kit?

Yes. The kit listings are separate from the cylinders, and each has its own number in the name.

Do all listings name a forklift maker?

Nearly all do. Seven name Cushman (2), Taylor Dunn (3), Bobcat or Tennant, so read the brand at the start before you compare numbers.
