Get the right part without wasting time.
When a forklift is down, ordering the wrong part can cost almost as much time as the original breakdown.
Model variations, serial-number breaks, engine types, mast configurations, and previous equipment modifications can make forklift parts more difficult to identify than they appear. A part that looks correct online may not fit once it arrives.
Midwest Industrial Equipment helps Ohio businesses identify and source the forklift parts they need with support from a team that understands material handling equipment.
We supply genuine OEM and quality aftermarket parts for major forklift brands. Whether you need a routine maintenance item, a replacement tire, a hydraulic component, an electrical part, or help identifying an unfamiliar component, our parts team will work to find the right fit for your equipment.
Start With the Forklift, Not Just the Part
Not all forklift maintenance services provide the same level of protection.
Midwest Industrial Equipment performs a comprehensive 120-point inspection that takes an average of approximately 1.5 hours per unit. We believe planned maintenance should be thorough enough to uncover developing problems not rushed simply to complete another checklist.
Depending on the forklift type and service interval, maintenance may include inspection or service of the following systems.
The quickest way to get the right forklift part is to begin with accurate equipment information.
Before recommending or ordering a component, our team may ask for:
- Forklift manufacturer
- Model number
- Serial number
- Engine or power type
- Part number, if available
- Description of the problem
- Photograph of the component
- Photograph of the forklift data plate
- Equipment location
- Whether the forklift is currently out of service
The serial number is especially important because forklift manufacturers may make changes within the same model series. Two forklifts with similar model numbers may use different components depending on when and where they were manufactured.
If you do not know the exact part number, that is okay. Send us the information you have, and our team will help determine what is needed.
Forklift Maintenance for Electric, Propane and Diesel Equipment
Midwest Industrial Equipment supports a wide range of forklift types and power systems.
Electric Forklift Maintenance
Electric forklifts are commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, food operations, distribution centers, and indoor material handling environments.
Our maintenance services can help identify:
- Battery deterioration
- Corroded connections
- Damaged cables
- Charger problems
- Electrical faults
- Drive-system wear
- Hydraulic leaks
- Steering concerns
- Brake wear
- Control-system issues
Proper electric forklift maintenance can improve equipment reliability while also helping businesses get more useful life from batteries and charging equipment.
OEM and Aftermarket Forklift Parts
Different situations call for different parts solutions.
Some businesses want genuine manufacturer parts for every repair. Others need a reliable aftermarket option that fits the equipment and makes financial sense for an older forklift.
Midwest Industrial Equipment can help you review available OEM and aftermarket options based on the forklift, the component, availability, application, and repair requirements.
Genuine OEM Forklift Parts
OEM parts are manufactured or approved for a specific forklift brand or model.
They may be the preferred choice when:
- The forklift is newer
- Manufacturer specifications are important
- Warranty requirements may apply
- The component is highly model-specific
- The repair involves a major system
- Long-term equipment ownership is planned
- A genuine replacement is requested
Quality Aftermarket Forklift Parts
Aftermarket parts can offer another practical option for many common repairs and maintenance needs.
They may make sense when:
- The forklift is older
- The OEM component is unavailable
- Lead time is a major concern
- The repair budget must be considered
- The part is commonly used across several models
- A dependable alternative is available
- The equipment has a limited remaining service life
The lowest-priced part is not always the least expensive solution. Poor fit, short service life, repeat labor, and additional downtime can quickly erase the initial savings.
Our goal is to help you find a part that fits the equipment and the situation—not simply the first listing that appears in a catalog.
Forklift Parts We Can Help Source
