Forklift controllers & contactors are the electrical heart of an electric forklift: traction and pump controllers regulate motor power, contactors switch high-current circuits, and throttle units translate pedal input into speed. ForkliftIQ supplies these parts compatible with Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota and other major brands, factory-direct with fast quoting.
ForkliftIQ supplies electric forklift controllers, contactors, and throttle units compatible with all major brands — Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota, and more — sourced factory-direct from verified suppliers. Request a parts quote with your part number or photo for fast cross-referencing.
Types of Controllers, Contactors & Throttle Units
Electric forklifts rely on several distinct electrical parts. Traction controllers govern drive-motor speed and direction, while pump (hydraulic) controllers manage lift and tilt power. Contactors are heavy-duty switches that make and break the high-current battery circuit, and throttle/accelerator units convert pedal or lever movement into a control signal.
Specifications vary by truck capacity and battery voltage. Common electric forklift systems run at 24V, 36V, 48V, or 80V, with controller current ratings sized to match motor draw. Always confirm the operating voltage and current rating before ordering, since an undersized or mismatched controller can fail prematurely or trip fault codes.
How to Identify the Right Part
The fastest path is the OEM or controller part number printed on the existing unit's label or housing — note any logic-board reference numbers as well. If the label is missing or damaged, send us clear photos of the part, the connector layout, and the forklift's data plate (model and serial number).
We cross-reference against an 85,000-SKU parts catalog to match by brand, model, voltage, and current rating. For controllers and contactors specifically, confirm the coil voltage, terminal/connector type, and mounting footprint so the replacement is a true fit. We do not guess specs — when a detail is unconfirmed, we ask before quoting.
Brand Compatibility & Sourcing
Parts are offered as compatible replacements for Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota, and other leading electric forklift brands. We supply factory-direct from verified suppliers, with OEM/ODM options and quality backed by CE, UL, ISO 9001, SGS, and TÜV documentation available on request.
Shipping is FOB or CIF worldwide with a typical 4–6 week lead time depending on stock and quantity. Send your part list or photos and we will return a cross-reference and quote — including current spec sheets where confirmed by the supplier.
| Spec | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| Traction controller | Drive motor speed & direction | Match voltage + current rating to motor |
| Pump controller | Lift/tilt hydraulic power | Match to pump-motor draw |
| Contactor | High-current circuit switching | Confirm coil voltage & terminal type |
| Throttle/accelerator unit | Pedal/lever signal input | Confirm connector & mounting |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right controller or contactor part number?
Check the label or housing on the existing unit for an OEM or controller part number, and note your forklift's model and serial from its data plate. If the label is unreadable, send us photos of the part, its connectors, and the data plate, and we'll cross-reference it for you.
Can you cross-reference a part from another brand?
Yes. We match parts by brand, model, voltage, and current rating against an 85,000-SKU catalog to find compatible replacements for Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota, and others. Provide a part number or clear photos and the truck's model/serial for the most accurate cross-reference.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for parts?
MOQs vary by part and supplier — many controllers and contactors are available in small quantities for repair shops, while fleet and distributor orders get better pricing at volume. Contact us with your quantity for a confirmed MOQ and quote.
How are parts shipped and how long does it take?
We ship FOB or CIF worldwide. Typical lead time is about 4–6 weeks depending on stock, order size, and destination. We confirm the exact timeline and freight terms when we send your quote.
Need this part fast?
Send the brand, part number or a photo — we quote from an 85,000+ SKU network and ship worldwide.
