Common Replacement Parts for Electric Lift Trucks and Forklilfts


Common Replacement Parts
for Electric Lift Trucks and Forklifts

Tip: Less machine downtime = more productivity, and a better ROI over your equipment's life cycle.




  • Have you got a leak? Most common leak points are hoses. Check hoses for cracked rubber and exposed wire structure. Make sure the contact points are properly sealed.  Generic Parts Service carries a huge inventory of hosesindustrial seal kits, and lift truck seal kits. We have kits for the leading manufacturers of pallet jacks, material handling equipment, dump trucks, farming equipment, and logging equipment.

  • Are you having travel or lift issues? Check for leaks, cracks, and wear. We have seal kits, mast parts and everything you need to get moving.
  • Are you having electrical issues, including problems with buttons, switches, pedals or other electrical parts? Make sure wires are not broken or chafe against each other. Switches can mechanically break or corrode. We have a large selection of buttons, boards, switches, wiring harnesses, and pedals as well as many other commonly replaced items.



  • Are your important safety features, like horns, alarms, and lights in good working order? Some of these wear over time, but most suffer damage. Check your warehouse for obstructions and damage points. Install the accessories inside the overhead guard or within the body of the machine. If broken: We have all of these accessories and more to keep your equipment up to safety standards.



  • Are your seatbelts and seats in good working order?  In most cases, the entire seat assembly (seat belt, seat) needs to be replaced to fix the reported issue.  We have aftermarket replacement seats and seat belts for a wide variety of machines.
  • How is the condition of your frame and undercarriage? Making sure your frame and undercarriage are in good working order maximizes worker and product safety as well as the working life of your equipment. We have bushings, tension bars, link assemblies, riser assemblies and more to keep you operating safely.
  • Have you replaced your batteries but they are still having trouble charging up? Battery life should be roughly 5 years but many factors can influence that. Make sure your battery has enough water and check regularly. We have replacement battery chargers and battery connectors for most brands..

  • Have you inspected your wheels lately? Chunked or worn tires or load wheels? We carry wheel kits for most brands of forklifts. Kits include two load wheel assemblies with bearings pressed, along with axles and fasteners.  We also have the drive tires and caster assemblies you need.

Class III electric lift trucks need stability casters?

Class III Electric lift trucks are electric pallet jacks you'll usually encounter as both walk-behind (walkie) and rider models. Counterbalanced walk behind stackers and units featuring straddle legs also fall into this category.

These will have vertical or horizontal movement and lift loads ranging from 2,000 - 8,000 lbs. The operator position is always in the front of the truck and controls the equipment through a steering tiller. All controls are mounted on the top of the tiller and the tiller is moved side to side to steer the truck. 

Most equipment in this category lifts loads only a few inches off the ground however the stackers lift to heights commonly found on forklifts. This class of equipment is typically used to unload delivery trucks and are best for short distances to a staging area or in small warehouses.

So why the need for stability casters?  

A stabilizer caster evens out the load balance by providing another point of contact with the ground in addition to the Drive Tire at the driver position and the load bearing wheels under the forks. They also feature shock performance to stabilize the load as it corners. Acting as a shock also reduces wear on the electrical components. Onboard chargers, tiller cards, and motor controllers are just a few examples of components you'll replace less often when utilizing a high-quality stabilizer caster.  

All stabilizer casters are not created equal. When replacing an OEM caster or converting stabilizer bar to a caster, you'll get the most bang for your buck when you trust Generic Parts Service with your order.

The stabilizer casters we feature are engineered as a drop-in replacement for Crown, Hyster, Yale, and Raymond electric lift trucks.
  • Less height and performance deterioration over time than traditional metal springs for reliable and consistent performance. Advanced technology includes a premium polyurethane block to replace the use of unreliable metal springs while also providing greater stability in cornering.  
  • Premium polyurethane block technology creates greater stability by reducing oscillation and rocking effect the equipment experiences. 
  • Important heavy-duty construction with 0.25" thick steel plates and with minimum welds to reduce weak spots. 
  • Convenient Height Adjustments offer an easy three-position adjustment bolt to eliminate the hassle of additional spacers
  • Uses a larger wheel (4" O.D.) with the toughest polyurethane compound available and high quality sealed bearings for a longer wheel life 
  • Rust-Proof Zinc plated parts and a greasable wheel or axle for corrosive environments 
  • Less downtime means higher productivity!


I have a skid plate, can I upgrade to the caster?

From the factory, some walkie pallet jacks feature a skid plate and not the caster assembly. This design has its limits and will never provide the benefits of reduced electrical repairs or true load stability. Our stabilizer casters feature the same bolt pattern and are an easy solution to upgrade your equipment.

The Yale MPB 040 E is an example of one model you can replace the skid plate with our premium stabilizer caster.
