Forklift Parts: Where to Find Reliable Replacements Fast

Quick Facts About Forklift Parts

• OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) forklift parts help your machines run better and last longer

• Filters, tires, forks, batteries, and hoses are the most commonly replaced parts

• Thompson Lift Truck stocks and ships parts quickly, with expert help if you need it

If your forklift is down, your whole operation can stall. And when you’re missing a part, every hour counts. Whether it’s something small like a filter or something bigger like a battery or hydraulic hose, getting the right replacement fast is key.

This guide walks you through the forklift parts that wear out most, why quality matters, and how Thompson Lift Truck can keep your fleet moving.

Why Quality Forklift Parts Matter

Every part on a forklift plays a role in performance and safety. Skipping on quality or choosing the wrong fit can lead to more breakdowns, expensive repairs, or even workplace accidents.

Here’s what to know:

• OEM parts are made specifically for your forklift’s make and model

• Some aftermarket parts can work well, but only if they’re from a trusted supplier

• Ordering from a reliable source like Thompson Lift Truck ensures better uptime and peace of mind

Most Common Forklift Parts That Need Replacing

These are the parts that see the most wear and tear on a typical forklift:

Forks

If your forks are bent, chipped, or cracked, they can’t safely handle a load. Damaged forks should be replaced right away.

Tires

Worn forklift tires reduce traction, stability, and operator comfort. Replace them when the tread is low or the rubber starts breaking down.

Filters

Oil, air, and hydraulic filters keep your systems clean and running smoothly. Most need to be changed regularly as part of scheduled maintenance.

Batteries

Electric forklifts depend on a strong battery. If your battery won’t hold a charge or is showing signs of swelling, it’s time for a replacement.

Hydraulic Hoses

Leaky or brittle hoses are a safety risk and can cause your forklift to lose power. These should be inspected often and replaced as needed.
