Yale GLP16, GLP18, GLP20, GDP16, GDP18 2007 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a replacement part for a Yale GLP or GDP series forklift and gotten the wrong one because the aftermarket catalog didn’t split by serial number, you know the frustration. That’s why I keep this Yale GLP16, GLP18, GLP20, GDP16, GDP18 2007 Parts Catalog on the shelf. It’s 596 pages of factory part numbers, exploded diagrams, and serial number ranges that tell you exactly which part you need. No guesswork.

This catalog comes straight from Yale Europe, published 01/2007. It covers the GLP16, GLP18, GLP20 (LPG) and GDP16, GDP18 (diesel) models with AF and BF variants. The document is organized into 17 main sections, each with its own parts breakdown. You get the OEM part numbers – not some re-indexed list from a third party. A Automotive Industry Overview might tell you why OEM data matters, but I’ll sum it up: you order the exact part and it fits. That’s the difference.

Diesel Engine (2.5L): What the Catalog Covers

Section 2 is the complete parts listing for the 2.5L diesel motor used in GDP AF models. It covers motor mounts, exhaust routing, radiator, flywheel and torque converter (split at serial number A810B-2578), cylinder head, camshaft, crankshaft, oil pan, oil pump, fuel system, injection pump, cooling system, and the entire electrical system for the 2.5L engine. If you need a part for the GDP16 or GDP18 with the 2.5L diesel, this is where you start. Every component is listed with its individual part number and a corresponding exploded view. No summarizing – you see the exact washer, bolt, or gasket. This is the kind of detail that saves a Saturday.

7 Systems Covered: From LPG to Brakes

Beyond the engines, the catalog covers seven major systems: transmission (Getriebe), hydraulic system (Hydraulisches System), steering (Lenksystem), brakes (Brems System), electrical (Elektro System), fuel system (Kraftstoff System), and the complete chassis (Stapler Allgemein). The LPG sections are split into 1.5L (BF) and 2.0L (AF) motors, each with their own parts lists. For example, the LPG 1.5L engine section includes the LP vaporizer (with code letter identification), regulator, carburetor, and throttle linkage. The 2.0L section has separate motor mounts depending on whether your serial number is before or after A810B-2360. That split is critical – and it’s right there in the catalog.

If you work on both gas and diesel models, you need the full picture. This catalog gives it to you. Related: Yale GDP/GLP20-30 Forklift 2006 Parts Catalog covers the larger chassis, but this 2007 catalog is built for the 16-20 series.

Identify Your Part by Serial Number: The Factory Method

Each assembly in this catalog lists the applicable serial number range. For the GDP AF diesel transmission case, for example, you have three different entries: up to A810B-2577, from A810B-2578 to A810B-07072Y, and beyond S/N A810B-7073Y. You need to match your forklift’s serial number to the correct page. The manual explains how to decode the model plate (located on the hood, right side of the driver). The part number index at the end helps you cross-reference if you already have a number. Do not try to guess based on model year alone – these serial number splits are there because Yale changed parts mid-production. Aftermarket catalogs ignore this and sell you the wrong part. This catalog does not.

OEM vs Aftermarket: Factory Data You Can Trust

Aftermarket parts catalogs are often re-drawn and missing key reference numbers. I’ve seen them show a generic oil pan that doesn’t exist on any actual Yale forklift. This is the original factory publication – Yale’s own parts book, printed in 2007, 596 pages. The exploded views are scanned from the OEM artwork. The part numbers are the same ones your dealer uses. If you want to order from a dealer’s online parts portal, you can input these numbers and get the correct component. That’s not possible with a third-party list. For further reading on the importance of original documentation in the Automotive Industry Overview, but the short answer is: if it’s not OEM, you’re gambling. I don’t gamble with customer equipment.

No fluff, no filler.

FAQ

Does this catalog cover the GDP20 model?

Yes. The title includes GDP20, but note the catalog covers GDP16 and GDP18 primarily. The GDP20 shares many components, but if you need the full GDP20 breakdown, see the companion Yale GLP16 GLP18 GDP16 GDP18 GDP20SVX 2006 Parts Catalog – 492 Pages which specifically includes the GDP20SVX variant.

Are the part numbers in this catalog still current?

Yale may have superseded some numbers after 2007. But these are the original OEM numbers – you can verify with your dealer. The catalog is the original source.

How do I find the right part if my forklift has an aftermarket conversion?

If the engine or fuel system has been modified, you need to go by the actual component manufacturer’s tags. This catalog only covers the factory configuration. Start with the serial number identification on page 2 of the catalog, then match to the stock system.

I have a GLP20 with serial number A810B-15000 – which engine section applies?

The 2.0L LPG section. Check the motor mount entries – if your serial is before A810B-2360, use the first page; if after, use the second page. This catalog has both.

You need a parts catalog that treats serial numbers as the primary filter, not an afterthought. That’s what this factory document does. It’s 596 pages of precise, numbered parts breakdowns for the Yale GLP16, GLP18, GLP20, GDP16, and GDP18. No reprints, no guesswork. Access the Factory Manual and get the right part the first time.
