At some point your forklift is going to need replacement parts. Even if your forklift sits often and hardly gets used, or if it is used consistently everyday, parts will need replacing or repair.
Tip: Less machine downtime = more productivity, and a better ROI over your equipment's life cycle.

Repair Parts for a Forklift Leak
Most common leak points are hydraulic hoses. Check for cracked rubber and exposed wire structure. Make sure the contact points are properly sealed. Fast Lift Parts carries a huge inventory of industrial seal kits and pallet jack seal kits. We sell kits for the leading manufacturers of pallet jacks, material handling equipment, dump trucks, farming equipment, and logging equipment.
Replacement Parts for Forklift Shift and Lift Issues

Forklift Running Rough
There are multiple reasons why your forklift could be running rough. To cover the bases, here at Fast Lift Parts we carry replacement alternators, starters, repair kits, and many other engine parts as well as replacement engines.
Repairing Forklift Electrical Issues
When dealing with electrical issues, whether it's responsiveness, control board or something else, make sure wires are not broken or rubbing 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.
Replacing Forklift Control Parts
We have replacement control pods, control handles and controllers to help get you moving in the right direction again. 
Forklift Safety Feature Repair Parts
Some safety features like the horn and back up alarm 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 they are broken, we have accessories and more to keep your equipment up to safety standards.
Replacement Forklift Seat and Seat Belt
Seats and seat belts wear and tear over time. In most cases, the entire seat assembly (seat belt, seats or cushions) needs to be replaced. We have aftermarket seat replacements for a wide variety of forklift machines.
Forklift Replacement Battery
Battery life should be roughly 5 years but many factors can influence that. Make sure your battery has enough water and check it regularly.
We have replacement:
- Electric lift truck battery chargers for most brands.
- We also carry electric lift truck battery connectors.
Replacement Parts for Forklift Lift 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:
