Mitsubishi Forklift Parts

If you are looking to buy Mitsubishi forklift parts you can look for them online if you do not live near a local forklift dealer.  The first step in finding the right parts to buy is to locate the Model number for your Mitsubishi forklift truck.  You can find this information by looking on the chassis of the unit.   Buying parts can be very easy or very difficult depending on a few different variables.  One of the hardest parts about sourcing parts can be getting the right part number.  Keep in mind that when forklifts are manufactured the manufacturer does not make all of the individual parts for the forklift truck.  Many parts are made by many other companies, especially when it comes to the forklift motors for internal combustion Mitsubishi forklifts. The diesel motor is usually made by another company such as Cummins.

Part of what makes it difficult to find the right parts is that there will usually be two different part numbers.  Mitsubishi will assign a part a number which is different compared to the part number assigned by the OEM manufacturer.  Knowing both part numbers can give you a great advantage when you are sourcing parts.  If you know the OEM part number you will have much better luck finding the part, and most likely you will pay less money as well.

When you are trying to source Mitsubishi forklift parts it may also help to know that Mitsubishi forklift trucks are made in a joint facility known as MFCA.  This facility (located in Houston, TX) is also responsible for making Caterpillar forklift trucks as well.  Knowing this information can be extremely helpful when you are trying to cross reference part numbers.  Because forklifts are manufactured in the joint facility there is probably a fairly good chance that the parts may be shared.

If you are looking to save money when you are performing your forklift maintenance you may want to consider purchasing aftermarket parts instead.  In certain cases after market parts can be just as effective without the cost of the brand name Mitsubishi forklift part.  Some of the more common parts you will need when you are performing maintenance will be essential fluids such as hydraulic fluid, motor oil, coolant, etc.  Depending on the age of your Mitsubishi forklift truck you may also eventually need to replace other more major components such as the exhaust, pneumatic rubber tires or cushion wheels on your Mitsubishi electric pallet jack trucks.    When you are performing preventative maintenance you should always check and make sure that the safety devices such as the turn signal lamps, horn, and strobes are functioning on your Mitsubishi forklift.  If you need additional assistance you can also call Mitsubishi directly at 888-MIT-LIFT.
