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 hoses, industrial 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.

• Is your unit was running rough? We carry replacement alternators, vaporizers, radiators, engines, and engine parts.

• 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.

• How are the brains of the operation? We have replacement control pods, control handles and controllers to help get you moving in the right direction again.

• 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.

THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING

Get your jacks ready for the busy season with this checklist

Here are five important items for your checklist to make sure your warehouse is prepared.

1. Check your warehouse floors and outdoor loading areas to make sure the workplace is clean and clear of any obstacles. Make sure that debris and spills are cleaned and swept up so that your operating environment is safe for your equipment to operate in. Debris and spills can ruin or shorten the life of your wheels or get in the way of your loads. 

2. Inspect the wheels on your pallet jacks and forklifts regularly to make sure that they are rolling easily and that there are no flat spots or delamination. Over time, the poly or rubber on your wheels can crack or wear unevenly resulting in unstable and unsafe loads. This can cause additional stress on your machine and on your workers' hands and arms due to vibration and rolling instability. We offer convenient wheel kits for manual pallet jacks and electric lift trucks. 

3. Have you looked at the forks lately?  Make sure there are no cracks or damage as the forks bear the brunt of the load. Using a damaged jack can cause a load to shift and fall and may damage products or cause injuries to your workers.

4. Check the hydraulic pump for leaks and make sure that it is operating properly. Does it pump up and hold your load? Does it lower safely? 

5. Test the handles, levers, controls, and horn where applicable, so that you are confident everything is working properly before you add a heavy load. 

Check our website for replacement parts you need, and contact us for any technical support.

Poly tires are recommended for electric trucks, especially when ridden  or capable of lifting above 4 feet, due to the superior stability vs. rubber tires. Polyurethane also has less rolling resistance than rubber which increases efficiency.

Polyurethane tires are harder, can carry greater loads and will outlast a rubber tire by as much as 4 times.  However, they also have less cushioning ability.  Polyurethane tires offer improved traction with different tread types without sacrificing load capacity.  They are more durable and are less likely to suffer from chunking, tearing or delaminating.  Polyurethane tires are able to roll over debris and rough floors with less likelihood of cutting or tearing.

Polyurethane can be slippery when wet but tread styles, such as the Diamond Groove or XGroove are available for wet and cold floor conditions while maintaining high load capacities.

Rubber tires can offer a softer ride and are generally used outdoors on the larger propane and internal combustion lift trucks.  Rubber tires dissipate heat well and are recommended for use at higher speeds. They offer a broader footprint providing better traction, particularly in wet conditions, but have lower load capacities.  Rubber tires are typically made with carbon black and because of this will mark indoor floors.

Tread Patterns

Smooth – Smooth surface tires are best on clean floors and standard warehouse environments.  There are several types of smooth tires.  SC = smooth crown. SF = smooth flat.  These can also have tapered sidewalls TSW or straight sidewalls SSW

X-Groove, also known as Diamond Groove (XG) – These have an X or Diamond pattern cut in the tire surface, best for wet floors and freezer areas.
