Curtis Forklift Controllers
Curtis AC & DC motor controllers
A Curtis controller drives an electric forklift's traction or pump motor and reads the throttle and encoder. ForkliftIQ supplies Curtis AC and DC SepEx controllers compatible with Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota, Linde, Jungheinrich, Hyster, Crown and other major brands.
Test before you replace
Most "dead Curtis" faults are a blown fuse, a pitted contactor or a bad throttle pot. Read the fault code and test those first. Match a replacement by the full Curtis model number, voltage and current rating; some need programming to your truck.
Parts grade — OEM, aftermarket & economy
| Grade | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OEM / Genuine | Original manufacturer part number | Warranty & critical components |
| Branded Aftermarket | Reputable replacement brands (Curtis, EVE, etc.) | Best value + reliability |
| Economy / OE-equivalent | Cost-optimized equivalent | Budget & wear items |
Grades are indicative; we confirm the exact match against your part number or nameplate photo.
Compatibility & cross-reference
We cross-reference Curtis forklift motor controllers by OEM part number, voltage and forklift model. Send your brand, model, serial number and the number stamped on the old part (or a photo) and we confirm the correct replacement before quoting.
