Your forklift’s down. You need parts now, not next week. We get it—every hour that machine sits idle is money you’re losing.
GP Forklifts stocks genuine and aftermarket parts for pretty much every forklift brand out there. Been doing this for 7 years, and we’ve learned one thing: businesses don’t have time to mess around waiting for parts that should’ve been in stock from day one. That’s why we keep what you actually need on hand, not just what looks good in a catalogue
What we actually do:
Look, forklifts have a lot of moving parts. Hundreds, actually. And when something breaks, you need to know what you’re dealing with. Here’s what we keep in stock and why each bit matters to keeping your operation running.
01
This is what makes the whole thing run. We’ve got engine bits for diesel, LPG, and electric forklifts—filters (oil, fuel, air), spark plugs, batteries, alternators, all of it. Electric models need battery cells, chargers, and the electrical bits that keep them going. And with load shedding being what it is in South Africa, having reliable batteries isn’t just nice to have—it’s keeping your business running when Eskom decides to take a break.
02
Without hydraulics working right, your forklift’s just an expensive paperweight. We stock hydraulic pumps, cylinders, hoses, fittings, seals—everything that makes the lifting happen. These parts deal with massive pressure, so getting the specs right isn’t optional. Use the wrong one and you’re looking at either a busted machine or a safety issue. Our guys help you match the exact part to your model so you don’t end up with an expensive mistake sitting in your workshop
03
That’s the vertical bit that actually lifts your loads. Inside there are chains, rollers, guide wheels, carriage assemblies—tons of parts that take a beating every single day. Especially if you’re running heavy loads or long shifts. These things wear out, and when they do, you want to catch it before the whole assembly fails. We’ve seen what happens when someone ignores a worn chain. Not pretty.
You’ll ask yourself this every time you need parts: pay extra for original manufacturer parts or save money with aftermarket?
Honestly? Both work, just depends on what you need.
(that’s the original manufacturer stuff) cost more. Sometimes a lot more. But you know for sure they’ll fit exactly right. For the important safety bits, or complicated assemblies, or if your forklift’s still under warranty—yeah, go OEM. You’re paying for precision and zero compatibility headaches.
Modern forklifts have gotten complicated. Switches, sensors, relays, gauges, lights, control panels—loads of electrical stuff keeping everything running.
Kind of important, right? Brake pads, shoes, drums, hydraulic brake bits—we’ve got them all. Brakes take a real hammering in our conditions.
For electric forklifts, we ensure batteries are fully functional and properly charged.
We provide detailed inspections to identify potential problems. Our checklist includes
Services include:
Mast alignment
Tire condition
Engine performance
Hydraulic pressure tests
Load capacity tests
Your forklift’s sitting there doing nothing. Let’s fix that.
Whether it’s a basic filter for routine maintenance or something critical that’s got your machine completely stopped, we’ll get you what you need. Parts, advice, quick turnaround—that’s what we do.
01
Call, email, or fill in the form—whatever’s easier. Give us your forklift’s make, model, serial number if you’ve got it, and what’s gone wrong.
02
Our techs check what the right part is for your specific model and whether we’ve got it in stock. Then we send you a quote with the part details, price, when we can get it to you.
03
Once you’re happy with the quote, confirm your order and sort payment. EFT, card, or if you’re an account customer it goes on the monthly statement. Stock items get prepped for dispatch right after payment clears. Special orders take longer—we’ll tell you upfront how long and keep you updated.
04
Parts go out with a courier and you get tracking info. When it arrives, we’re here if you’ve got installation questions. We don’t do the fitting ourselves, but we can point you to good techs in your area if you need that. And we check back to make sure the part sorted your problem.
Ignoring these signs can lead to major failures and safety hazards.
Companies that follow a preventative maintenance schedule reduce forklift downtime by 50%.
Forklifts without regular maintenance consume up to 20% more fuel.
Proper tyre maintenance can extend forklift lifespan by 10-15%.
Over 60% of forklift breakdowns stem from neglecting minor repairs.
Regular servicing decreases workplace accidents by 30%.
We ship forklift parts all over South Africa. Strongest in the big industrial areas but we go everywhere.
Gauteng (Joburg, Pretoria, East Rand), KZN (Durban, PMB), Western Cape (Cape Town, Stellenbosch area), Eastern Cape (PE, East London), Free State (Bloem).
Gauteng gets same-day or next-day on stock items if you order before lunch. Other big cities within 48 hours usually. Remote spots take 3-5 working days. Really urgent? Call us—we can sometimes speed things up.
Manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, construction, mining, farming, retail distribution, ports, food and beverage, automotive—pretty much anyone using forklifts. We handle parts for small 1.5-ton warehouse machines right up to massive 25-ton+ industrial units.
Keeping production lines efficient with minimal disruptions.
We Actually Know This Stuff
Our certified professionals have in-depth expertise in all major forklift brands, including Toyota, Hyster, Clark, and Caterpillar.
We create schedules that align with your operations, minimizing disruption.
Maintenance is completed quickly without compromising quality.
Transparent pricing that fits your budget.
We use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for repairs and replacements.
Yeah, pretty much. Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Linde, Nissan, Clark, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar—all the main ones. Less common brands or really old models, we’ve got sourcing networks to track down what you need. Just tell us what make and model you’ve got and we’ll let you know.
Stock items in Gauteng often go same day if you order before lunch. Other big cities usually within 48 hours. If it’s properly urgent, call us straight away—we push emergency orders to the front and can sometimes arrange courier pickup for fastest delivery. Special orders take longer but we’ll tell you upfront what’s realistic.
Yep. OEM parts come with the manufacturer’s standard warranty (usually 3-12 months depending what it is). Decent aftermarket stuff comes with 3-6 month warranties. We back everything we sell. Something’s faulty? We replace it quickly and sort the warranty claim.
That’s half our job. Have your forklift’s make, model, and serial number handy, tell us what’s going wrong. We ask questions to narrow down what’s likely causing it and what part you actually need. Done this hundreds of times. Usually can sort it over the phone.
OEM is straight from your forklift’s manufacturer. Guaranteed exact match but costs more. Aftermarket is made by other companies to meet the same standards—cheaper but still does the job. OEM makes sense for safety stuff, complicated bits, or if your machine’s under warranty. Aftermarket’s fine for things that wear out regularly. We’ll tell you which makes sense for what you’re buying.

“Had a forklift down during our busiest time and couldn’t work out which hydraulic seal was leaking. GP Forklifts walked us through checking it over the phone, figured out the exact seal, got it delivered same day. Saved us paying for an emergency callout. That kind of help is why we keep using them.”
