Furukawa Unic UR1500 Parts Catalog

Ever had a crane down because you ordered the wrong seal kit? I’ve seen it happen. You pull a part number off the old piece, cross it to some aftermarket list, and end up with a cylinder pack that doesn’t fit. That’s why you want the factory Furukawa Unic UR1500 Parts Catalog on the bench — not a third-party reprint that guesses at supersessions. This is the same 244-page document Furukawa Unic Corporation printed in Japan for their service network. It covers every nut, bolt, hose, and valve on the UR1500 series from serial number U150001 onward. If you maintain one of these cranes, you need this file, not an approximation.

Parts Breakdown by Assembly Group

Page 4 lays out the structure. Every component group gets its own illustration with index numbers tied to the key list. You’ll see assembly parts, sub-assembly parts, and component parts separated by A, B, C columns. The table tells you the part name, part number, quantity per assembly, and applicable serial range. For example, if the boom cylinder on a post-2010 unit uses a different seal set, the “Applicable Serial No.” column will flag it. No guesswork — you read the number and order the right piece the first time. The catalog also notes changing periods for service parts, which is useful when you’re stocking spares for a fleet.

Interchangeability: Read the Marks Before You Order

Page 5 prints the mark code system. A circle means new and old parts are interchangeable both ways. A half-circle means new can replace old but not vice versa. An X means no interchange — you must match the serial and manufacture date. I’ve seen guys ignore that X and bolt a new part onto an early chassis, only to find the mounting holes don’t line up. Then they blame the crane. The catalog also marks discontinued parts with a D, parts not for sale with a triangle, and quantity changes with a Q. That detail alone saves you a wasted phone call to the dealer.

Ordering Genuine Parts Without the Headache

When you call the parts counter, have these six pieces of info from the catalog: crane model, serial number, assembly name, part name, part number, and quantity. Page 5 spells it out. If the part has an interchangeability mark, tell the dealer which one — especially if it’s an X. The catalog warns that Furukawa Unic gives no warranty on trouble caused by using non-genuine parts. That’s not marketing; that’s liability. A hydraulic hose that bursts because the aftermarket replacement didn’t match the SAE rating will cost you more than the OEM line. Stick to UNIC GENUINE PARTS as the manual states.

Serial Number Verification: Confirm Your Crane Range

The cover page and page 4 both reference serial number U150001 as the start point. Your crane’s serial is stamped on the specification plate fixed to the column. If your unit falls outside that range, this catalog won’t match. Always check the plate before you start ordering. The UR1500 series parts catalog is model-specific — it doesn’t cover the earlier URV500 or the newer URW370C2UR. For those, you’ll need separate documents like the Furukawa Unic URW295C1UR Parts Catalog – 256-Page Factory Spec”>Furukawa Unic URW295C1UR Parts Catalog or the Furukawa Unic URV500 Parts Catalog – OEM Spec, 471 Pages”>Furukawa Unic URV500 Parts Catalog. Mixing chassis generations causes delays you don’t need.

Why Factory Documentation Beats Aftermarket Copies

Aftermarket parts catalogs often omit the interchangeability codes, combine different series into one generic list, or leave out the footnotes about obsolete parts. This Furukawa Unic source was printed by the manufacturer — it shows serial breaks, part supersessions, and the exact quantity per assembly. The page numbers, illustration numbers, and key numbers match what the dealer’s screen shows. When you’re holding a boom down on a job site, you want that level of precision. The Automotive Industry Overview”>Automotive Industry Overview on Wikipedia notes that OEM documentation reduces warranty claims, and it’s the same logic here. If you’re serious about crane maintenance, get the factory copy.

FAQ

Does this catalog include repair procedures or torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog — it lists part numbers, quantities, and interchangeability data. For removal and installation steps, you’d need the service repair manual for the UR1500 series.

How do I know if the part number in the catalog is still available?

Check the “Mark” column on the parts list. A “D” in that column means the part is discontinued. If there’s a half-circle or circle, the part may have been superseded by a newer number. The catalog lists the supersession direction. If the mark shows an X, the new and old part are not interchangeable; you have to order based on your crane’s serial number. Not every part is still in production, but the catalog shows the latest factory replacement path. When in doubt, call a Furukawa Unic dealer with the part number and serial — they can verify stock and any last-time buys.
