Yale GLP20, GDP20, GDP30, GLP30 2008 Parts Catalog – 918 Pages

Description

If you’ve ever ordered the wrong part for a Yale lift, you know the pain. You pull the old piece, measure it, guess at the part number, order something that looks close from an aftermarket catalog, and then spend an afternoon making it fit – or returning it. That’s time you don’t bill. This Yale GLP20, GDP20, GDP30, GLP30 2008 Parts Catalog is the factory document that eliminates the guesswork. It’s 918 pages of exploded diagrams, OEM part numbers, and serial-number-specific callouts. Not a reprint, not a scan of a scan – original factory print from 2008.

Yale GLP20, GDP20, GDP30, GLP30 2008 Parts Catalog – 17 Sections

Open this catalog and you get 17 major sections. Section 1 covers the general chassis: frame, hood, counterweight, seats, cab, heater, decals. Sections 2, 3, and 4 break down the engines – diesel (2.5L and 3.0L) and LPG (2.0L, 2.2L, 3.0L). Each engine section is split by serial number breaks and includes motor mounts, exhaust, cooling, cylinder head, crankshaft, oil pump, fuel system, and electrical. Section 5 is the dedicated fuel system – LPG tank mounting and fuel lines. Section 6 is electrical, section 7 steering, 8 brakes, 9 transmission, 10 hydraulics. Sections 11 through 14 are the mast assemblies: two-stage limited free lift, three-stage full free lift, two-stage full free lift, and fork/overhead guard installation. Section 15 lists options, section 16 is a part number index, and section 17 holds customer information. That’s the whole machine, piece by piece.

How Is This 918-Page Catalog Organized?

Every subsystem has its own exploded view. The part numbers are keyed to those diagrams. For example, look at the diesel cylinder head section – each bolt, gasket, valve, spring, and retainer has its own callout. Need to find the water pump for an XA/HA diesel? Go to the water pump page under Section 2. The catalog tells you which serial number ranges apply. Some assemblies have alternative pages for different build dates. Ignore the serial number breaks and you’ll order the wrong pump. That’s why you need this catalog open on the bench, not a generic parts lookup.

Diesel and LPG Engine Coverage

Section 2 handles the 2.5L and 3.0L diesel engines (XA/HA). Section 3 covers the 2.0L and 2.2L LPG engines (FE/F2). Section 4 is the 3.0L LPG engine with its own serial number history – 1998-2000, 2001-2003, 2004-2005 series. Each engine variant has its own breakdown for crankshaft, pistons, camshaft, cylinder head, electrical system, and cooling. If you need to find the correct fuel injector holder for an XA diesel, the part number is there. If you’re swapping an engine from a different year, the serial number callouts will tell you which parts differ.

Why Choose an OEM Parts Catalog Over Aftermarket?

Aftermarket catalogs try to cross-reference numbers, but they miss the serial number splits. I’ve seen too many aftermarket books list one part number for a water pump that actually had three different pumps depending on the build date. This catalog comes straight from Yale Europe Materials Handling Limited, printed 12/2008. The part numbers are factory-original. You hand that number to your dealer and you get the right piece. No returns, no downtime. For related models, check out Yale GLP/GDP16-20AF/BF 2007 Parts Catalog and Yale GDP/GLP20-30 Forklift 2006 Parts Catalog.

3 Common Mistakes When Ordering Parts

First mistake: ignoring serial number breaks. This catalog marks every significant assembly with a serial number range. Second: assuming the same part fits across the GLP20, GDP20, GDP30, and GLP30. Many parts are shared, but masts, counterweights, and options differ. Third: skipping the exploded diagram and ordering by description only. The diagram shows you exactly how pieces fit together. Use it.

Fuel System and Hydraulics: The Real Troublespots

Section 5 covers the LPG tank and fuel lines. Section 10 covers the hydraulic system – pump, valves, cylinders. If you’re replacing a hydraulic hose or a seal kit, you need the exact part number. The catalog includes callouts for the hydraulic control valve with options for three-function or four-function valve banks, including serial number splits. The steering section (7) and brake section (8) follow the same pattern. Have a leaky brake cylinder? Find the part number in the exploded view.

Can I use this catalog to find replacement parts for my GLP20?

Yes, it covers all original parts for those 2008 models.

How are the parts organized?

The catalog uses a systematic grouping: sections 1 for general components, 2-4 for engines (diesel and LPG), 5 fuel system, 6 electrical, 7 steering, 8 brakes, 9 transmission, 10 hydraulics, 11-14 mast assemblies, 15 options, 16 part number index, 17 customer info. Each subsystem has exploded views keyed to a parts list. For example, the diesel engine section alone covers motor mounts, exhaust, cooling, cylinder block, head, camshaft, crankshaft, oil pan, oil pump, fuel system, injection pump, water pump, and electrical. That’s over 20 pages of diagrams per engine variant, split by serial number breaks.

Does this catalog cover aftermarket or generic parts?

No. It lists only genuine Yale OEM part numbers. Aftermarket cross-reference is not included. Use this to order factory replacements from your dealer.

What if my forklift has a serial number not listed in the catalog?

The catalog includes serial number breaks for many assemblies. If your unit’s serial number falls outside the listed ranges, you may need the later revision. Check the publication date (2008) and compare with your machine’s production year.

If you maintain these Yale lifts – GLP20, GDP20, GDP30, GLP30 – you need this parts catalog on your tablet or printed out. It’s the difference between ordering the right hose clamp the first time and chasing a return. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it within arm’s reach of the parts counter.
