TCM FB20-6, FB25-6BAH, FB20-16, FB25-6VAN, FB25-6 Parts Catalog – 275 Pages of Factory Spec Data

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a TCM electric forklift and discovered it didn’t fit because you used a cross-reference from some third-party website, you already know why this 275-page OEM Parts Catalog exists. I’ve been in this trade 28 years, and I’ve seen guys waste half a shift ordering the wrong seal or bearing because they trusted a scan someone posted online. This catalog is the real thing – factory-issued by TCM for the FB20-6, FB25-6BAH, FB20-16, FB25-6VAN, and FB25-6 models. No reprints, no photocopies, no aftermarket guesses. It’s the same binder the dealer parts counter uses.

The TCM FB20-6, FB25-6BAH, FB20-16, FB25-6VAN, FB25-6 Parts Catalog is not a repair manual. It’s a parts manual. That means you get exploded diagrams, part numbers, and the location numbers that tell you exactly where a component lives in the machine. 275 pages of that, indexed three ways: illustration index, parts text, and a parts index. If you need the control handle assembly for a FB20-16 or the hydraulic pump seal for a FB25-6BAH, you’ll find the factory number here. This thing even includes a Service Kit Parts section for specific inspection kits – something aftermarket catalogs never bother with.

How to Use the Parts Manual – It’s Not a Repair Manual

Open the front cover. You’ll see a page that says “How to Use Parts Manual” in English and Japanese. That page explains the location numbering system – like B1-1, B1-2, etc. Every part in this catalog gets a location number that points you to the exact illustration and the part number list. On page 2 (General Contents), it lists the nine major sections: Index, Service Kit Parts, Contents, Illustration Index, Parts Manual Text, Parts Index, and Address. You don’t read this like a novel. You go to the illustration index first if you have the part in hand, or the parts index if you know the number. That’s the time saver. Don’t skip that how-to page – I’ve watched guys flip right past it and spend twenty minutes hunting for a steer axle bushing that’s sitting in Section 4.

Index and Cross-Referencing – Three Ways to Find a Part

Three indexes in one book. The Illustration Index shows you the figure numbers linked to each major assembly. The Parts Manual Text lists every part with its part number, description, figure reference, and applicable models. The Parts Index is the alphabetical/numerical back-of-book list. That’s what you use when you have a part number from the old part and need to verify it’s still current. TCM also prints “Applicable Symbol” and “Remake No.” columns so you know if a part supersedes another. If you’re rebuilding a FB25-6VAN mast, you’ll find the roller and chain sections by figure number, then cross-reference the part numbers against the index. This is the kind of documentation that keeps you from ordering a lift cylinder that’s three inches too long. I’ve seen that mistake. It’s expensive.

Service Kit Parts Section – Factory-Approved Maintenance Bundles

Section 3 (SERVICE KIT PARTS) is a feature you won’t find in aftermarket knockoffs. TCM publishes specific part numbers for inspection and service kits – pre-assembled bundles of seals, gaskets, and filters that match the scheduled maintenance intervals for each model. For example, the FB20-6 has a kit for the hydraulic system at 500 hours. The catalog lists every component in that kit with its individual part number and the kit reference number. That’s gold when you’re doing a PM and want to order everything in one shot. The dealer will charge you three times as much if you order each O-ring separately. Use the kit number, get the whole bag, and move on to the next job.

Audience Fit – Who Needs This Catalog

This catalog fits the owner-operator who maintains their own FB25-6BAH or FB20-16 forklift in a small warehouse. It also fits the fleet mechanic who covers a dozen TCM electric trucks and needs to stock common wear parts. If you’re a home-garage enthusiast who picked up a used FB25-6 at auction, you absolutely need this to identify what parts fit and what parts don’t. The parts catalog doesn’t tell you how to install a motor controller, but it tells you the exact part number to order so you don’t end up with a doorstop. Pair it with a service manual – we have those too, like the TCM FD60Z8 FD70Z8 FD80Z8 FD100Z8 Parts Catalog – 650 Pages for heavy-duty diesel trucks. That’s a different job, but same principle: get the factory book or waste money.

Source Validity – OEM vs. Aftermarket Documentation

I distrust aftermarket parts catalogs on principle. They copy data from this exact OEM manual, but they drop the applicable model columns or misprint the figure references. I’ve seen a third-party catalog list a FB25-6BAH steer cylinder part number as FB20-6 – doesn’t work. This TCM manual, number PB-77LF, is the original from TCM Corporation. It covers all five models: FB20-6, FB25-6BAH, FB20-16, FB25-6VAN, and FB25-6. The pages are clean, the diagrams are scaled properly, and the Japanese-to-English translations in the header are consistent. If you’re serious about keeping your forklift running, you don’t trust a $9 access from a random site. You get the 275-page factory print. For more specific engine parts data, check the TCM Isuzu-4218A-E Parts Catalog – 478 Pages OEM Factory Manual – that one covers the diesel power units used in some TCM models. And the TCM 125B Parts Catalog – 244-Page OEM Factory Manual for the older 125B series. Different machines, same standard.

Wiring and electrical parts are covered in the illustration index under the electrical section. If you need to trace a harness for the FB25-6, you’ll find the connector part numbers and the relay locations. That’s data that aftermarket houses regularly screw up. For a general background on why OEM documentation matters in the automotive industry, read this Automotive Industry Overview.

But for the FB series electrics, this parts catalog is the single source of truth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specs or repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It contains part numbers, exploded diagrams, and indexes. You need the separate TCM service manual for torque values and step-by-step repair instructions.

Can I use this catalog to order parts for a FB25-6BAH with a specific serial number?

Yes. The catalog includes “Applicable Symbol” and “For” columns that cross-reference serial number ranges and option codes. If your serial number falls within the listed range, the part number is correct for your machine. Always check those columns before placing an order.

Are the part numbers in this catalog current for 2024?

This is the original PB-77LF print. TCM may have superseded some numbers. The catalog lists “Remake No.” for superseded parts. I recommend cross-referencing with a TCM dealer for the latest update if the part is over five years old.

How do I find which section covers the hydraulic pump for a FB20-16?

Go to the Illustration Index (Section 4). Look for hydraulic system figure numbers. The figure will show the pump assembly with callouts. Then flip to the Parts Manual Text (Section 6) using that figure number to get the exact part numbers. If you can’t find it, use the Parts Index (Section 7) alphabetically under “Pump.”

Put this 275-page factory parts catalog on your workbench next to the truck you’re rebuilding. Every time you need a part, you open it, look up the figure, verify the model column, and write down the number. No guessing. No returns. That’s how it’s done in a real shop.
