Yale Forklift Alternators

A Yale truck with a dead battery light or a weak charge often needs a new alternator, and this page lists 41 Yale forklift alternator parts to choose from. All but three are complete alternators, 18 of them marked new and four marked remanufactured. The other three are a pulley and two belts that go with them. None of it comes from Yale itself: these are aftermarket units made to fit Yale trucks, which is why every listing carries the Yale name.

New and Remanufactured Yale Alternators

New alternators are the easy case. They're worded as "FOR YALE ALTERNATOR - NEW 913880100" or "FOR YALE 582002415, ALTERNATOR - NEW," and the number is all that separates one from the next. Four more are labeled "REMANUFACTURED," each with a YT number, and three of those end in -R, such as YT220007244-R. Reading the word REMANUFACTURED in the listing tells you which kind you're ordering.

Several listings name nothing but the part and a number, like "Yale 901948801, Alternator" or "for Yale 580001184, Alternator." When the wording is that bare, the number carries all of the identification, so it's the first thing to check against your old unit.

Amps, Volts and Pulley Wording

A few titles give electrical details, and they're worth using when two alternators otherwise look alike. One reads "FOR YALE ALTERNATOR 12V 78A 150017787." Another is "FOR Yale 580026829, NEW ALTERNATOR (Incl Pulley)(LPG Fuel)(12V)(70 Amps)," the only one that mentions LPG. Another lists 50A with a 4-groove pulley.

Pulley wording matters more than it looks. About 10 listings mention a pulley, and seven of those say "NO PULLEY," so the alternator arrives without one. If you reuse the pulley from your old unit, a no-pulley listing is fine. If you need one, "Incl Pulley" appears in one title, and "for Yale 520024806, Alternator Pulley" is sold as its own part.

Part Numbers, YT Prefixes and Model Codes

Yale alternator numbers are mostly nine digits. Many begin with 58, such as 580001184, while others start differently, like 901948801 and 913880100. A second family starts with YT, as in YT580001185, and a few shorter ones appear, such as 76000200. No title here lists a YT number and its plain-digit form together, so search the number exactly as it is printed on your unit. Add or drop the -R ending as well, since YT580001185-R is a separate listing from YT580001185.

Only two listings name a truck. "Yale ZS19189987, ALTERNATOR (NEW) Forklift FG015P" gives the FG015P, and "GLC050RG Standard Alternator For Yale 580000990" gives the GLC050RG. If you have the model but not the number, search it with the word "alternator," and use the box at the top of any page to look up a number directly, or browse by manufacturer.

Belts, Fans and the Rest of the Charging Side

Two belt listings are tied to the alternator. "Yale 901303831, Belt, For Alternator and Fan" and "FOR Yale 580073538, Belt, For Alternator - Fan - Water Pump" show the belt running over more than one part. If the pump is the next thing you're checking, the Yale water pumps page lists about 30, and the Yale starters page lists about 35 for the other half of the electrical system.

Looking beyond Yale, the Toyota alternators and Hyster alternators pages hold about 40 and 30 listings. The full forklift alternators range runs to about 280, and the Yale forklift parts page has the rest of the brand.

Yale Forklift Alternator FAQ

Does "no pulley" mean I have to buy one separately?

Yes, if your old pulley can't be reused. Those listings leave the pulley out, and the alternator pulley has its own listing.

Which alternator is for an LPG truck?

Only one title says so, 580026829, which also lists 12V and 70 Amps. For other trucks, go by the number from your old alternator.

My number ends in -R. Is that a different part?

It can be. The -R ending is on three of the four remanufactured listings and on YT580001185-R, so check the full number as printed.

Are there any alternators for a specific model?

Two name one: FG015P and GLC050RG. Everything else is matched by part number alone.
