01
When your TCM forklift needs a critical component, you can’t afford to gamble on compatibility or quality. We supply genuine TCM parts that match factory specifications exactly. Our inventory covers engine components, hydraulic systems, transmission parts, electrical systems, and structural elements. Each part comes with the manufacturer’s warranty and the assurance that it will perform as designed.
02
Equipment failures don’t happen on a convenient schedule. When a forklift goes down during a critical operation, you need parts immediately, not next week. Our emergency parts service prioritises urgent requests, with same-day dispatch available for stock items when you call before noon. We maintain relationships with courier services across South Africa to ensure the fastest possible delivery to your location.
03
Preventative maintenance is far cheaper than emergency repairs, but only if you actually do it. Many operations delay routine maintenance because ordering individual parts becomes a hassle. We’ve solved this by creating maintenance packages tailored to TCM forklift models and usage patterns.
04
Not sure what part you need? This happens more often than you’d think, especially with older TCM models or when dealing with unusual failure modes. Our technicians have decades of combined experience with TCM forklifts, and we can help identify parts based on symptoms, serial numbers, or even photos of failed components.
05
Sometimes the right solution isn’t a brand new part. For certain components like starters, alternators, hydraulic pumps, and control modules, we offer refurbished parts and exchange programmes. These components have been professionally rebuilt to manufacturer specifications, tested thoroughly, and come with warranties that protect your investment.
06
Operating a fleet of TCM forklifts creates different requirements than running one or two machines. You need consistent pricing, priority access to common parts, and streamlined ordering processes. Our fleet agreements address these needs by establishing predetermined pricing for frequently used parts, priority stocking of your specific requirements, and simplified ordering through dedicated account management.
We’ve been in the forklift business for 53 years. That’s not just a number – it represents decades of relationships with manufacturers, thousands of repairs, and an accumulated knowledge base that you simply can’t develop quickly. When TCM released new models, we learned them. When they updated systems, we updated our knowledge. When they changed suppliers, we maintained our access to genuine parts.
The aftermarket parts industry loves to promise “equivalent quality at half the price.” Sometimes that’s true. Often it’s not. We’ve watched too many customers save money on a cheap hydraulic seal only to have it fail within weeks, costing them the original part price plus another callout, plus the lost productivity.
Parts sitting in a warehouse in Johannesburg don’t help you in Cape Town when your forklift is down. We’ve built relationships with logistics providers who understand that forklift parts are time-sensitive. Our dispatch team treats every order with urgency because we know that behind every parts order is an operation that’s either stopped or about to stop.
Anyone can sell you a part. We provide the knowledge to ensure it’s the right part, installed correctly, and that you’ve addressed the underlying problem. Our technical team fields dozens of calls daily from workshops, maintenance managers, and operators dealing with TCM forklift issues.
Nobody likes pricing surprises. When you enquire about TCM parts, we provide clear pricing including any applicable VAT, with delivery costs stated separately. If a part requires special ordering, we tell you upfront along with expected timeframes. If there’s a more cost-effective alternative that will work for your application, we mention it.
One-time transactions are fine, but we’re building something more valuable – ongoing partnerships with customers who know they can rely on us. When you’ve worked with us for years, you’re not just another account number. We know your fleet, understand your priorities, and can anticipate your needs.
Reach us by phone at 010 110 1819 or email sales@gpforklifts.co.za with your parts requirements. Have your TCM forklift serial number handy if possible, along with a description of what you need or the problem you’re experiencing. If you’re unsure exactly what parts you need, describe the symptoms or failure, and our technical team will help identify the correct components.
This initial conversation takes 5-10 minutes for straightforward parts requests, longer if we’re diagnosing a complex issue or discussing fleet supply arrangements. The more information you can provide about your specific TCM model and the problem, the more accurately we can respond.
Using your serial number and description, we’ll identify the exact TCM parts required for your specific model. Forklift parts often vary between model years and configurations, so precision matters here. We’ll check our current stock levels and, if we don’t have something immediately available, confirm delivery timeframes from our suppliers.
For items we need to order specially, we provide estimated arrival dates and discuss whether you need interim solutions to keep operating. This step typically completes within an hour for standard enquiries. Complex or large orders might take until the next business day for comprehensive availability confirmation.
We’ll email you a detailed quote listing each part with its specific part number, description, unit price, and availability status. The quote includes estimated delivery timeframes and any technical notes our team thinks you should know. Review this carefully – if anything seems unclear or you need alternatives due to pricing or availability, let us know immediately.
Once you approve the quote, we need a purchase order number or payment confirmation to proceed. For established accounts, we typically work on 30-day terms. New customers usually pay upfront for the first order, with account terms available once we’ve established a relationship. We’ll confirm your order details and expected dispatch time.
Our warehouse team prepares your order, conducting final quality checks to ensure each part matches your requirements. We package parts carefully to prevent damage during transport – hydraulic components are sealed, breakable items like gauges are protected, and everything is labeled clearly with your order reference.
Orders typically dispatch within 24 hours of confirmation. Emergency orders requested before noon can leave the same day. You’ll receive tracking information by email as soon as the courier collects your package, including the tracking number and estimated delivery date.
Your parts arrive with all documentation including invoices, delivery notes, and any warranty certificates for the components supplied. Check the package immediately upon arrival – if anything is damaged or incorrect, photograph it and contact us right away so we can arrange replacements urgently.
We typically follow up within a few days to ensure the parts arrived as expected and that you were able to complete your repair successfully. If you encounter any issues during installation or need technical guidance, our team remains available to assist. Your successful repair is the real measure of whether we’ve done our job properly.
GP Forklifts maintains comprehensive service coverage throughout Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, and Eastern Cape. These regions contain the majority of South Africa's warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution operations, and we've positioned resources to provide rapid response throughout these areas. In Durban and surrounding KZN areas, we typically reach sites within 2-3 hours for emergency calls. Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town operations receive similar response times. Our familiarity with these industrial areas means we navigate efficiently even to facilities in complex industrial parks.
We supply TCM forklift parts throughout South Africa, with particularly strong logistics coverage across Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, and Eastern Cape provinces. Our warehouse location allows efficient distribution to major industrial centres including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, and their surrounding areas. For customers in more remote locations, we work with multiple courier services to ensure reliable delivery, though transit times may be longer than to major centres. Emergency deliveries to remote sites can be arranged through expedited courier services at additional cost. We're upfront about realistic delivery timeframes for your location, so you can plan accordingly. Our service extends to businesses operating across multiple sites. We can deliver to different locations under one account, simplifying your procurement process while ensuring each site receives the specific TCM parts they require. Fleet operators with branches nationwide find this particularly valuable for maintaining consistent parts standards across their entire operation.
Some operations exist in genuinely remote areas: mines, agricultural facilities, or specialised industrial sites far from major centres. We handle these situations with advance scheduling, ensuring our technician arrives fully prepared with all likely parts and tools needed. Travel costs apply, but we minimise these by coordinating multiple maintenance activities during each visit.
Larger facilities sometimes benefit from having a GP Forklifts technician based on-site several days weekly or even full-time. This arrangement makes sense for operations running 20+ forklifts where maintenance demands justify dedicated coverage. We discuss these options during initial assessments when fleet size suggests this approach could reduce overall costs.
Several factors affect TCM parts pricing. Component complexity matters - a simple filter costs far less than a complete hydraulic pump assembly. Whether a part is a common wear item stocked locally or needs special ordering from overseas makes a substantial difference. Your timeline also matters; standard delivery is most cost-effective, while emergency services incur premium courier charges. Exchange rates affect imported parts, which is most of them. We can't control global currency markets, but we do lock in pricing for 30 days once quoted, protecting you from fluctuations while you arrange approvals. Bulk orders and fleet agreements receive preferential pricing because we can plan inventory more efficiently when we know your ongoing requirements.
We accept payment via direct bank transfer (EFT), which is most common for business purchases. For established account customers, we typically offer 30-day payment terms after the first order. New customers usually pay upfront initially, with account facilities available once we've completed a few successful transactions and verified your business credentials. For large fleet supply agreements or ongoing maintenance programmes, we can discuss longer payment terms as part of the overall arrangement. We're reasonable about working with your procurement processes, but we also need to manage our own cash flow and inventory investments sensibly.
Quotes are free and provided quickly. Call 010 110 1819 or email sales@gpforklifts.co.za with your parts requirements, and we'll respond with detailed pricing during business hours. Have your TCM serial number ready to ensure accurate part identification. For complex requirements or fleet quotations, we might need until the next business day to provide comprehensive pricing.
The cheapest part isn't always the best value. We've watched customers choose cut-price alternatives that failed quickly, ultimately costing more in repeat repairs, lost productivity, and frustrated maintenance teams. Genuine TCM parts cost more initially but typically last 2-3 times longer than cheap substitutes, making them more economical over time. Our pricing reflects genuine parts, proper technical support, reliable logistics, and warranties you can actually use. When you factor in the cost of downtime, the risk of repeat failures, and the value of working with suppliers who know what they're doing, our pricing represents fair value for professional service.
Contact us at 010 110 1819 or info@gpforklifts.co.za with details about your forklift fleet: equipment types and ages, usage patterns (shifts per day, operating hours), current service history if available, and any immediate concerns. We'll arrange a site visit to assess your situation and provide accurate, detailed pricing within 48 hours. There's no charge for quotes or assessments, and no pressure to commit – we'd rather you make informed decisions than feel pushed into arrangements that don't fit your needs.
Downtime is expensive. The longer your TCM forklift sits waiting for parts, the more it costs your operation in lost productivity, missed deadlines, and frustrated teams. We've built our entire business around minimizing that downtime through fast access to genuine parts, expert technical support, and reliable delivery. With 53 years of experience in the forklift industry, we understand what you're dealing with. We know that parts failures never happen at convenient times. We know that cheap substitutes rarely save money in the long run. We know that you need suppliers who answer the phone, provide straight answers, and deliver what they promise.

Yes, we supply genuine TCM parts sourced through authorised distribution channels. Each part matches manufacturer specifications exactly and comes with appropriate manufacturer warranties. We’re very clear about this because we’ve seen the problems that cheap imitations cause. When we occasionally offer refurbished components as cost-effective alternatives, we state that explicitly and explain exactly what you’re getting, including warranty coverage.
Our technicians work on all major brands operating in South Africa: Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Linde, Nissan, and others including older models no longer officially supported. We maintain extensive parts networks and technical documentation covering virtually everything you’ll find in South African facilities. The occasional highly specialised or very new model might require us to bring in brand-specific expertise, but this is rare.
A comprehensive service includes hydraulic system inspection and fluid top-up, complete brake system check and adjustment, chain and mast examination, tyre inspection and pressure check, battery connections and charging system test (electric units), engine tune and filter replacement (combustion units), safety feature testing, and load test to verify capacity. We also note any developing issues requiring future attention. The whole process takes 2-4 hours depending on equipment condition and any additional work identified.
Absolutely, and we maintain detailed service records that preserve warranty coverage. Some warranties require servicing by authorised dealers, though many simply require professional maintenance documentation. We’ll review your warranty terms during assessment to ensure our servicing meets all requirements. In some cases, we coordinate with dealers to maintain warranty compliance while providing more responsive local service.
For maintenance contract customers in our primary service areas (Gauteng, KZN, Western Cape, Eastern Cape), we commit to 4-hour emergency response during business hours, next-day response after hours. Non-contract customers receive service as technician availability allows, typically same-day or next-day. Remote areas naturally take longer – we’re honest about realistic response times rather than making promises we can’t keep.
For major repairs requiring workshop time, we arrange temporary replacements when available from our rental fleet. Availability isn’t guaranteed – we prioritise based on operational urgency and existing commitments. This service is included for premium maintenance contracts and available at daily rental rates for other customers. Many repairs happen on-site during scheduled maintenance, eliminating downtime entirely.
We never pressure customers into unnecessary work. When significant repairs are needed, we explain what’s failing, what happens if you defer the work, safety implications, and cost to repair versus replace. Sometimes the sensible decision is retiring old equipment rather than investing heavily in repairs. We provide honest advice based on your operational needs and budget constraints, not what generates the highest invoice.
Certainly – many customers start with call-out service to evaluate our work before committing to contracts. When you’re ready to switch, we conduct a thorough fleet assessment to establish baseline equipment condition, then propose appropriate contract terms. Existing equipment issues might need addressing before starting preventative maintenance programs, ensuring you’re not paying for regular servicing while dealing with accumulated neglect.
