​How to Identify your Forklift's Model and Serial Number?

There are different brands of forklifts. You will need to know model and the serial number of your forklift brand because this information ensures the parts specialists you talk to get the right parts for you.

Many brands have all of the required data stamped on aluminum data plates (nameplates). Sometimes, data from the data plate might be missing or you are not able to read it.

There are several alternative places where you can look up the information you need:

You will find model and serial number of Toyota forklift on the front of the frame or somewhere else on the frame. Nissan forklifts have their data near the middle of the engine. Some brands, like Komatsu will have their information above front drive tire. On a Clark forklift, nameplate can be found near the seat or the dashboard. Also, many of the Clark forklift’s have their serial number stamped on its frame. Same applies for Hyster forklifts.

Our parts specialists will most likely ask you for model and serial number of your forklift. This information is crucial to find the right parts for your forklift. Also, you will get the right parts so your forklift can get back up and running. If you are still unable to find the model or the serial number, give us a call and we will do our best to find the right parts for you.
