Yale GLP040VX, GLP070VX, GLP050VX, GLP055VX, GLP060VX 2008 Parts Catalog

Trying to track down the correct part number for a Yale GLP070VX mast roller without the factory catalog is a waste of your time and your customer’s money. Cross-referencing aftermarket listings or using a generic parts book will get you a box full of wrong shit. This is the genuine 2008 Yale Parts Catalog — 496 pages of exploded diagrams, OEM part numbers, and the exact way Yale intended you to order replacements. Covers GLP040VX, GLP050VX, GLP055VX, GLP060VX, and GLP070VX models, plus the GDP variants. If you’re rebuilding hydraulics, replacing a cylinder, or sourcing a new engine gasket kit, this is the only document you should pull out of the drawer.

Serial Number Decoding – Page 5

You cannot order parts without knowing your machine’s serial number. This catalog includes the factory decoder on page 5. Yale stamps the serial into a plate on the left or right side of the chassis. The format: X 0 X 0000. Characters 1-2 are model code, 3 is build location (Y = Brazil, B = Ireland, etc.), 4 is production serial, 5 is year code — letters skip I, O, Q. Miss that and you’ll order a part for a 2007 build that doesn’t fit your 2008. Page 5 spells it out in full. No interpretation from me needed.

Engine Assembly Parts – 7 Sections

The catalog breaks down every major assembly. Engine section includes cylinder head, valve train, pistons, crank, oil pan, and all seals. You want a part number for a GLP060VX injector? It’s listed with the OEM number, not a generic replacement. Each assembly has an exploded view so you can see exactly how the pieces go together before you order. That matters when you’re staring at a basket of parts on the bench and wondering which bolt goes where. The Parts Catalog doesn’t give you torque specs — that’s the service manual’s job — but it gives you the right hardware.

Hydraulic Pump and Mast Breakdown

Lift chain, carriage, side shift cylinders, control valve, pump. Every component in the hydraulic system is illustrated with callouts. I’ve had guys tell me they ordered a pump seal kit from a third-party supplier and it was a quarter-inch too small. This catalog shows the factory seal dimensions and the actual Yale kit number. No guessing. You match the serial number range, pick the part number, and call your dealer. Saves you a return shipping fee and a pissed-off customer.

Drivetrain and Transmission Parts

Torque converter, differential, drive axle, brake assembly. The catalog covers power shuttle and manual transmission variants. If you’re swapping a differential ring gear on a GLP055VX, you need the correct tooth count and case casting number. Aftermarket catalogs often list a single number for multiple models — this factory catalog separates them by serial number breakpoint. Page references change between model years. Use the index at the back to find your section fast.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

First, aftermarket parts catalogs commonly omit hardware — washers, O-rings, retaining rings — that Yale includes in their factory kit. Second, the exploded view in a factory catalog shows orientation and stacking order. A third-party illustration might be a generic clip art. Third, this is the 2008 edition from Yale’s own engineering group. It’s not a scan of a scan; it’s a digital copy of the original print. You can zoom in on any callout number without pixelated blur. I’ve used cheap parts catalogs where the number 3 and 8 looked identical. Not here.

Audience Fit – Who Needs This on the Bench?

If you maintain a fleet of Yale forklifts — whether you’re a one-man shop or running a 6-bay operation like mine — you need this catalog on hand. Fleet managers ordering bulk replacement parts will cut down on wrong orders. Home garage guys rebuilding a used GLP040VX can cross-check part numbers before hitting the dealer counter. The language is bilingual (Portuguese and English) — the original came out of Yale’s Brazilian operation, but all part numbers and diagrams are universal. Don’t let the Portuguese headings throw you; the part numbers are what matter.

Source Validity – OEM vs Aftermarket

This is the factory Parts Catalog, not a reprint from some third-party aggregator. Yale published it in July 2008 — the date stamp is on page 1. The catalog explicitly states: “Consulte Manual de Serviços para procedimentos de manutenção” — meaning, refer to the service manual for repair steps. This catalog is for parts identification only. If you buy a cheap aftermarket version, you risk outdated part numbers or missing supersessions. The Yale GP/GLP/GDP040VX-070VX 2007 Parts Catalog covers the preceding year; this 2008 edition includes updates for the VX series. Also check the Yale OS 030 BC SS 030 BC 1997 Parts Catalog OEM for older Yale models, or the Yale MP MPB 040 AC A827 1998 Parts Catalog | OEM Manual for different lines. For broader context on forklift parts standards, see the Automotive Industry Overview page — it’s not forklift-specific but covers assembly trends that apply. Automotive Industry Overview also touches on supply chain logistics for part sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog cover the GDP (dual-fuel) models?

Yes. The title includes GLP/GDP040-050-055-060-070VX. The GDP variants are the same chassis with different fuel systems. Both are covered in the same exploded views with separate part number callouts for gas vs. LP components.

How many pages, and is it printable?

496 pages total. The PDF is fully printable and searchable. You can print individual section pages for the bay without carrying the whole binder.

I have a 2009 Yale GLP070VX. Will this work?

This is the 2008 edition. Yale released annual updates — the 2008 catalog covers 2008 model year builds. For a 2009, you’ll need the 2009 Parts Catalog. However, many components were carried over. Check your machine’s serial number against the index — if it falls within the range listed, the parts are likely identical. If not, look for the later edition.

What about torque specs for installing new parts?

This catalog does not list torque values. It’s a parts catalog, not a service manual. Use the Yale Service Manual for tightening procedures. The Parts Catalog tells you what to buy; the Service Manual tells you how to put it together. Both are sold separately on AutoRepairManuals.

You need the right part number the first time. Stop burning time on catalogs that don’t show the correct O-ring or that skip the retaining washer for the hydraulic pump. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or printed in the bay. Your parts order will arrive correct, your machine goes back to work faster, and you don’t eat the return shipping.
