01
Look, when your forklift needs replacement parts, using authentic TVH components means you’re not gambling with compatibility or safety. What we supply includes genuine parts for all major forklift brands that TVH covers – engine components, hydraulic systems, electrical parts, wear items, the lot. These aren’t generic alternatives someone knocked together in a factory somewhere. They’re the actual parts that forklift manufacturers specify for their equipment.
02
Smart operators keep essential wear items in stock. It’s what prevents those frustrating delays when a forklift goes down unexpectedly. We supply the high-turnover parts that every forklift fleet burns through – tyres, chains, brake components, filters, belts, hydraulic hoses. The stuff that wears out through normal operation and needs regular replacement.
03
Equipment doesn’t break down at convenient times. A hydraulic hose fails on Friday afternoon. A control module gives out during your busiest season. The mast cylinder starts leaking right when you’re pushing to meet a critical shipping deadline – because of course it does.
04
Not sure exactly which part you need? This happens more often than you’d think, especially with older equipment or when original documentation went missing years ago. Our team can help identify the correct parts for your forklift based on make, model, serial number, and the specific component that needs replacing.
05
Regular maintenance extends forklift life and prevents breakdowns, but tracking which parts each service interval requires takes time nobody has. Our preventive maintenance kits bundle the components your forklifts need for scheduled services based on manufacturer recommendations and operating hours.
06
Behind every parts transaction, there’s often a question: “Is this actually going to fix what I’m trying to fix?” Our technical support goes beyond simply processing orders.
Fifty-three years in the forklift industry isn’t just a number we stick on marketing materials. It represents thousands of parts orders, countless equipment challenges, and deep knowledge of what actually works in South African operating conditions. We’ve seen equipment failures that would puzzle other suppliers. We understand how local factors like dust, heat, and load shedding affect forklift components differently than they would in European or American conditions.
Operating forklifts in South Africa presents unique challenges that overseas suppliers just don’t get. We understand delivery timelines within Southern Africa, customs requirements for imported parts, and how to navigate the practical realities of getting components when you actually need them. We’re familiar with the industries that depend on forklifts – from cold storage facilities in Cape Town to manufacturing operations in Gauteng – and what matters most to each sector.
When you buy TVH parts through GP Forklifts, you’re getting authentic components through authorised channels. This matters more than many people realise until they’ve been burned once. Counterfeit forklift parts exist in the market, and they often look convincing until they fail prematurely or cause additional damage to your equipment.
Our team includes people who’ve spent careers in the forklift industry – not someone who started last month after working in completely unrelated fields. When you ask technical questions about parts compatibility, installation requirements, or whether a particular component will solve your problem, you’re getting informed answers from people with genuine expertise.
We operate on a simple principle: help customers solve their forklift parts challenges efficiently without unnecessary complications. That means clear communication about what’s actually available, honest delivery timeframes, and transparent pricing. If we can’t supply a part quickly or if there’s a better alternative, we’ll tell you upfront rather than making promises we can’t keep.
Forklift parts pricing can sometimes feel mysterious, with different suppliers quoting wildly different amounts for what seems like the same component. We provide clear pricing based on genuine TVH parts quality. You’ll understand what you’re paying for and why.
Contact us via phone (010 110 1819), email (sales@gpforklifts.co.za), or through our website enquiry form. Provide your forklift details: make, model, serial number if available, and description of the part you need. If you’re unsure about exact specifications, just describe the problem or component that needs replacing – we’ll work it out from there.
What you should have ready: Your forklift’s make and model, serial number (usually found on a plate on the mast or body), and if possible, the part number from the existing component. Photos of the part can be extremely helpful for identification.
We typically respond to enquiries within 2-4 hours during business hours, often faster for urgent requests.
Our team identifies the exact TVH part required for your forklift. We verify compatibility, check current stock availability, and prepare a detailed quote showing part description, part number, pricing, and expected delivery timeframe. For complex orders or multiple parts, we make sure all components work together correctly.
Your involvement: You may need to answer clarifying questions about your forklift model, operating conditions, or specific requirements. This helps us provide the most accurate part match.
Most quotes are prepared within 4 hours. Complex technical queries requiring consultation with TVH may take up to 24 hours.
Once you approve the quote, we confirm your order details including delivery address and required delivery date. Payment can be arranged through EFT, direct deposit, or account facilities for established customers. We process your order immediately upon payment confirmation.
What you need to do: Review the quote carefully, confirm parts match your requirements, provide delivery details, and arrange payment. Ask any final questions before we process the order.
Order processing begins immediately after payment confirmation. We send you order confirmation with expected delivery dates.
We source your parts through TVH’s distribution channels. In-stock items at local warehouses ship fastest. Parts requiring import from TVH’s international facilities take longer but we track everything carefully. Before dispatching, we verify parts match your order specifications and check for any damage or packaging issues.
Your involvement: None required during this stage, but we keep you updated on progress, especially if unexpected delays occur or if we discover any issues with parts availability.
In-stock parts: 1-2 days. Special order parts: 3-5 days locally, 7-14 days for international orders. Emergency requests get expedited wherever possible.
Parts get delivered to your specified location via our courier partners or collection can be arranged from our facilities. We provide tracking information so you know exactly when to expect delivery. After delivery, our technical team remains available if you have questions during installation or if any issues arise with the parts.
What you should do: Inspect parts immediately upon delivery and confirm they match your order. If there are any discrepancies or damage, contact us straight away. Keep packaging and documentation until you’ve confirmed everything is correct.
Delivery timeframes depend on your location – major centres receive faster service. We provide specific delivery estimates when you place your order.
After your parts are installed and running, we check in to make sure everything’s working as expected. We keep records of what you’ve ordered so future parts requests become even faster – we already know your equipment and requirements. For regular parts users, we can discuss account facilities or maintaining strategic stock for your operation.
Your involvement: Let us know how the parts performed and whether your forklift issue was resolved. This feedback helps us serve you better on future orders.
Ongoing relationship – we’re here whenever you need parts again, with your equipment details and history already on file.
We provide regular delivery services to Gauteng (Johannesburg, Pretoria, East Rand, West Rand), KwaZulu-Natal (Durban, Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay), Western Cape (Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Worcester), Eastern Cape (Port Elizabeth, East London), and Free State (Bloemfontein). These areas typically receive parts within 1-3 business days for in-stock items.
We also service Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West, and Northern Cape, though delivery timeframes may be slightly longer depending on your exact location and courier routing. Most locations in these provinces receive parts within 3-5 business days.
Our TVH parts supply all industries that depend on forklifts: warehousing and logistics operations, manufacturing facilities, cold storage and food distribution, retail distribution centres, construction and building supply, agricultural operations, mining support services, and port and harbour operations.
For critical breakdowns affecting operations, we can arrange expedited delivery to major centres, often achieving same-day or next-day delivery depending on what's actually available and courier schedules. Emergency service availability depends on current stock levels and your location - call us to discuss urgent requirements.
If you prefer, you can collect parts directly from our facilities, which works well for local customers who need parts immediately and want to avoid courier delays.
Small consumables and wear items (filters, seals, gaskets, belts): Typically R150 - R800 per item depending on specifications. These are the regular service parts that most operations order frequently. Medium-sized components (hydraulic parts, electrical components, brake assemblies): Usually R800 - R5,000 depending on complexity and forklift model. Less frequently replaced but critical when needed. Major assemblies and system components (mast sections, transmission parts, engine components): Prices range from R5,000 to R50,000+ for large, complex assemblies. These are significant investments but often more cost-effective than equipment replacement. We provide exact pricing for your specific parts requirements once we identify the correct components for your forklift.
Several factors influence TVH parts pricing. The forklift make and model matters - parts for specialised or less common equipment may cost more due to lower production volumes. Component complexity affects pricing - a simple seal costs far less than a sophisticated electronic control module. Whether parts are locally stocked or require international shipping impacts both cost and delivery time. Original equipment versus aftermarket sourcing also plays a role. We supply genuine TVH parts, which sometimes cost more initially than generic alternatives but provide better reliability, correct fit, and often lower total cost over time when you account for longevity and performance. Your order volume can influence pricing for regular parts users. Businesses ordering substantial quantities or maintaining ongoing relationships often benefit from better pricing structures.
We accept electronic funds transfer (EFT), direct bank deposits, and credit card payments for your convenience. Established customers with regular parts requirements can apply for account facilities with approved credit terms, which simplifies ordering and payment for ongoing parts needs. For new customers, we typically require payment before parts dispatch. Once we've established a relationship and mutual trust, we can discuss account arrangements that better suit your business processes.
When you enquire about parts, we provide detailed quotes usually within a few hours. Our quotes specify exact part descriptions, part numbers, unit pricing, quantity, delivery estimates, and total cost including delivery charges. This transparency means no surprises when your invoice arrives. Quotes remain valid for 14 days typically, though TVH pricing can occasionally change based on exchange rates and international pricing adjustments. We'll always confirm pricing before processing your order if any changes have occurred since your original quote.
Genuine TVH parts cost more than cheap knockoffs for good reasons. You're paying for parts manufactured to specific tolerances, using quality materials, with proper engineering behind them. These parts fit correctly, function as designed, and last significantly longer than inferior alternatives. The real comparison isn't the initial purchase price - it's the total cost including installation time, reliability, lifespan, and avoiding the additional damage that substandard parts can cause to your forklifts. One cheap hydraulic seal that fails prematurely and takes out your hydraulic pump has just cost you far more than buying the correct TVH part initially would have. We're not the cheapest parts supplier in South Africa. We're the supplier focused on providing genuine quality that keeps your operations running reliably, which almost always proves more cost-effective in the long term.
Ryan WiblinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had to do some major repairs to our forklift. Bob and the team at GP forklifts were absolutely unreal in their service and communication. The forklift was repaired at a very reasonable price and great care and effort was put into repairing everything and I'm quite convinced that the forklift is now running better than when we bought it new.

We'll get back to you promptly with exactly what you need to know. Our Commitment: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, we're available to handle your TVH parts requirements with technical expertise and straightforward service. For genuine parts, honest advice, and reliable delivery, GP Forklifts is ready to assist. No-obligation quotes. Clear pricing. Real solutions.
TVH supplies both genuine OEM parts (original equipment manufacturer) and their own TVH-branded components manufactured to OEM specifications. As an authorised TVH distributor, GP Forklifts supplies authentic TVH parts, not knockoffs or inferior substitutes. All parts come with proper documentation and meet the specifications required for your forklift equipment. When you order through us, you’re getting the real components – not cheap imitations that might look similar but fail after three months.
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.
