The hydraulic pump pressurizes oil for the lift, tilt and steering circuits. Counterbalance forklifts mostly use gear pumps; some use piston pumps. ForkliftIQ supplies replacement pumps compatible with Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota, Linde, Jungheinrich, Hyster, Crown and other major brands.
Is the pump really the problem?
Weak or slow lifting and a whining noise look like a bad pump, but low oil, a stuck relief valve or worn cylinder seals cause the same symptoms and fail more often. Confirm system pressure against the truck’s spec before replacing the pump.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a forklift hydraulic pump work?
Driven by the pump motor, it draws oil from the tank and pressurizes it through the control valve to the cylinders.
How do I know if the pump is bad?
Weak lift, loud whine, foamy oil or overheating — but check oil, relief valve and seals first.
Gear vs piston pump — which do I need?
Most counterbalance trucks use gear pumps; match your truck’s original type. Send the part number to confirm.
Can you match a pump from the number?
Yes — send brand, model and the number cast on the pump.
Need this part fast?
