Caterpillar pallet jack parts

You can buy Caterpillar or Mitsubishi pallet jack parts from any pallet jack repair part dealers online or you can contact MFCA directly as well.  MFCA makes both parts and machines for both Mitsubishi and Caterpillar.  This is a joint facility which is run out of Houston, Texas. 

To make sure that you know the exact part number which you will need for your Caterpillar pallet jack, make sure that you first have your serial number and model number handy for your unit.  This is very important because it will let you cross reference the appropriate databases in order to make sure you are getting the right part.  In the case of Mitsubishi and Caterpillar keep in mind that they may also have some shared parts which might have different part numbers.  In other cases you may also be able to get the part from the Original part maker, which may not necessarily be MFCA.  For example, motors are often made by companies which make motors (such as John Deere and Cummins) for other factories electric pallet jacks and forklift trucks. 

Other parts such as batteries (if you happen to own an electric pallet jack)  can be purchased by other companies which specialize in selling aftermarket forklift batteries (such as Enersys, Deka, etc).  The age of your pallet jack along with how often you use your machine will determine how often you will need to repair or replace wear and tear parts.  Having a proper PM schedule can help keep you on track with regards to being able to properly perform  and detect any hidden issues.  Always check your hydraulic, electric (if you have an electric pallet jack), and motor components.  If you need common items such as pallet truck hydraulic oil, you may be better off running down to your local parts store if you need it right away.

When you are buying Caterpillar pallet jack parts you can purchase new, used or refurbished parts.  Refurbished parts may be cheaper but might not be the best solution depending on what parts you are looking to exactly replace.  Another good idea is to check the guarantee on your new vs. used parts in order for you to determine your best value. 

If it has been awhile since you have had your machine inspected it may also be a good idea for you to go ahead and schedule a formal preventative maintenance check up with your local Caterpillar (Cat) dealer.
