Nichyu FBRF10, FBRF13, FBRF14, FBRF15, FBRF18 Parts Catalog

You know the feeling. You order a part based on an aftermarket catalog, get it in the bin, and it doesn’t match the bracket holes. Maybe the thread pitch is off, or the seal diameter is wrong. That costs you time and money. A forklift sitting on jack stands waiting for the right part isn’t making you anything. For the Nichyu FBRF10, FBRF13, FBRF14, FBRF15, FBRF18 line, the only reliable source for part numbers and exploded views is the factory Parts Catalog – the same one the dealer uses. This is it.

This 263-page document comes straight from Nippon Yusoki Co., Ltd., the manufacturer. It’s not a third-party rehash with missing figures. Every illustration, every reference number, every part listing matches the original engineering drawings. If you’re servicing an FBRF10 or an FBRF18, you want the part number that came off the line, not some generic cross-reference that might be close.

CHASSIS Section: Frame, Covers, and Floor Plate

Start with the chassis. The catalog breaks it down into Frame, Cover(1), Cover(2), Guard, Floor Plate, Battery Clamp, even the separate Emergency Parts and Weight assemblies. You get figure numbers for each sub-group. For example, the Seat (std) and Seat (EEC) have different mounting brackets – the catalog shows both. If you’re swapping an overhead guard or a foot switch on an EEC model, turn to the correct figure. No guesswork.

DRIVE and HYDRAULIC: Wheel Load Piping and Contactor Fitment

Under Drive you’ll find Wheel (Load) separated by capacity: [10/13] and [14/15/18]. Wheel hardware isn’t interchangeable between those groups. The catalog lists each wheel assembly with bolts, bearings, and seals. Over in Hydraulic, Frame Piping is split by mast type: Fm/Mm-Nt, Fm/Mm-CS,FCS, and Fm. These are different pipe routings. One look at the diagram saves you from bending the wrong tube. Then there’s the BAND section – those small clamps that always rust out.

Control and Electric Parts: Contactor, Chopper, and Battery Diagrams

The Control section covers the Control Unit, Contactor Fit. and its internal parts, plus the Chopper Unit (Travel) and Chopper Unit (Hyd.) with MPU Board details. If your contactor is welding shut or your travel chopper is acting up, you need the exact part number for the replacement module or the rebuild kit. The catalog gives you separate breakdowns for Control Unit Parts (1) and (2) and the Cover (CS) for the compact models. Electric Parts include Accelerator assemblies (two versions), Fuse panel, Control Panel, Directional Switch, and Battery. Wire Harnesses have five sub-sections – each harness routing is different per model variant. Don’t cut corners; use the right harness P/N.

Mast Types: Simplex, Triplex, and Duplex Breakdown

Mast work is where parts misidentification hurts most. This catalog devotes significant pages to each mast configuration. For the Simplex Mast you get lift cylinder, tilt cylinder, mast piping, outer mast, inner mast, chain wheel. Triplex Mast adds a middle mast and a second chain wheel (lift). Duplex Mast splits the lift into first and second stage cylinders. If you’re rebuilding a reach cylinder, there are separate entries for [Fm] and [Mm] types – they have different bore sizes and seals. Page references are indexed in the front, so you can jump right to the figure you need.

Source Authenticity: OEM Beats Aftermarket

I have seen parts catalogs that list a part number for the FBRF14 that actually belongs to an older FBRF10. That happens when someone scans a generic list and merges revisions. This document is the original factory print. The part numbers match what Nichyu stamped on the bins. If you need a reference for other models, check the Nichyu FBC20P FBC25P FBC30P Service Manual for service procedures, or the Massey-Harris-Ferguson FF 30 GS 1957 Parts Catalog | OEM Fastener Guide if you work on vintage ag equipment. For wear parts on other lifts, the Futura FC200-FC400 Parts Catalog – OEM Wear Parts Specs is another solid OEM source.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This 263-Page Catalog

If you turn wrenches on Nichyu electric forklifts from the FBRF10 up to the FBRF18, you need this. Fleet managers, rental yard mechanics, rebuild shops – anyone who orders replacement parts. The catalog is cross-referenced by figure number, not by model name alone. You look up the figure, call out the item number, and that’s the part. No ambiguity. Beginners will appreciate the clear exploded drawings; veterans will appreciate the accuracy.

Does this catalog cover the FBRF18 model?

Yes, it covers all five models: FBRF10, FBRF13, FBRF14, FBRF15, and FBRF18.

Are these the same part numbers as the dealer uses?

These are the exact factory part numbers from Nichyu. Dealers use the same catalog. The difference is you don’t pay dealer markup for the lookup. The index is organized by figure number and item number, exactly as it appears on the dealer’s terminal. If you’re comparing aftermarket parts, you can verify dimensions against the OEM numbers listed here. That alone prevents returns and downtime. The 263 pages cover every assembly from the battery clamp to the overhead guard, including the chopper unit breakdowns and mast cylinder seals. Aftermarket catalogs often skip the minor hardware like the band clamps or the specific control unit cover for the CS variant. This catalog includes them.

Can I use this to rebuild the mast?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows you every component for the simplex, triplex, and duplex masts, including lift cylinders, tilt cylinders, chain wheels, and mast piping. You’ll get the part numbers for seals, bearings, and pins. For the actual rebuild procedure, you need the service manual. But without the correct parts list, you’ll be ordering blind.

Is this a repair manual or parts catalog?

Parts catalog only. 263 pages of part numbers, exploded diagrams, and index tables. No torque specs, no wiring diagrams, no step-by-step repair instructions.
