Yale GLP35, GDP35, GDP40, GLP40, GDP45 2008 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Yale lift truck and ended up with something that didn’t fit, you know the headache. Aftermarket cross‑reference lists and generic part number databases are a gamble—especially when you’re down a machine and the customer is watching. This 2008 OEM Yale GLP35, GDP35, GDP40, GLP40, GDP45 2008 Parts Catalog takes the guesswork out. It’s the same binder your dealer’s parts counter uses. 658 pages of factory exploded views, exact part numbers, and the kind of detail that only comes from the original manufacturer. I’ve used these books for years—they’re the only way to guarantee you’re bolting on the right component the first time.

What This Parts Catalog Covers (and Doesn’t)

Starts with General Truck—hoods, floor plates, overhead guards, counterweights, and the full suspension seat assembly (both non‑suspension and full suspension seats, pending ECN 74952). Page 3 lists all 15 major sections. Then it drills into the Diesel Engine (Tier II) and the LPG Engine (4.3L) with separate cooling, fan drive, baffle, and exhaust groups. The Fuel System section alone is a dozen sub‑chapters covering GDP Tier II fuel supply, water separators, and GLP open‑loop vs. closed‑loop systems—including the LPG converter, governor, carburetor, and tank brackets. After that: Electrical System (cowl harnesses, controller, instrument panel), Steering System, Brake System, Transmission (both power shift and hydrostatic), Hydraulic System, and four mast variants (two‑stage limited free‑lift, three‑stage full free‑lift, two‑stage full free‑lift). Closes with Options, a Numerical Index, and User Support Information. Missing? Mast section part numbers for Class III and IV forks, labels—yes, even the decal placements. This book doesn’t leave anything out.

Suspension: Non‑Suspension and Full Suspension Seats

The suspension section under General Truck is a perfect example of why OEM documentation matters. Aftermarket lists lump all seat parts together. Here, you get two dedicated sheets for the full suspension seat (Sheet 1 of 2, Sheet 2 of 2) and a separate non‑suspension seat sub‑assembly—each with individual part numbers for the cushion, armrest, base, and hardware. If you’re replacing a seat on a GDP40 that’s pounding the operator, you need to know which vibration isolator to order. This catalog gives you that. No generic drawings, no “fits all models” nonsense—only the Yale factory exploded view with the correct bolt torque and fastener grade noted in the parts callout.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

1. Part numbers that match production. Aftermarket catalogs often re‑index parts or combine superseded numbers. This 2008 edition uses the original Yale part numbering system—what you see on the page is what was stamped on the box when the truck left the factory. 2. ECN updates are noted. You’ll see notations like “PENDING PER ECN 74952” right on the exploded view. That means the parts supersecession history is documented, so you can track what changed and why. 3. Index by section and number. The Numerical Index on page 482 (approximate) lets you look up any part number and find its exact location across all 658 pages. I’ve used that feature more times than I can count—it’s the difference between a 20‑minute identification and a two‑hour hunt through a dozen PDFs.

Diesel Engine Section: More Than Just a List

Flip to Diesel Engine and you’ll find Cooling System, Fan Drive Assembly, Engine Mount, Assembled Engine Tier II, then deep dives into the cylinder block, head, rocker arm shaft, crankshaft and pistons, oil pan and pump, water pump, timing gear, exhaust manifold, oil filter, oil cooler, fuel injection pump (with bleed‑back system for S/N E813A01605B), and the rotary exhauster. Each sub‑section has an exploded diagram with callouts leading directly to the part number and quantity. If you need a piston ring set for a GDP35 Tier II, you can cross‑reference the engine serial number range and pull the exact kit—no disassembly surprises.

Does This Manual Cover Fuel System Variants?

Yes—and the answer is in the detail. The Fuel System chapter (Section 4) is split by engine type. GDP Tier II gets Fuel Supply System, Fuel Pump and Water Separator, Fuel Sender, and Fuel Filter. GLP models get separate open‑loop and closed‑loop system diagrams, including the LPG converter, governor, carburetor, lock‑off valves, and throttle linkage variants for power shift and hydrostatic transmissions. There’s even a dedicated sub‑section for LPG tank brackets (fixed, swing‑out, swing‑out/drop‑down). If you’re converting a GLP40 from open‑loop to closed‑loop, the part numbers for the different lock‑off valves and regulators are in this book. Yale GLP20-35VX GDP20-35VX 2006 Parts Catalog covers an earlier model line, but this 2008 edition is the one for these 35‑45 series trucks.

Get the Part Number Right the First Time

Every part in this catalog has a unique number. There’s no “refer to similar” or “use with” that requires cross‑referencing a second source. The Numerical Index in the back lets you look up a part number and find every assembly it appears in. That includes seals, O‑rings, bearings, and hardware—not just major components. I’ve seen shops order a complete transmission because they misidentified a seal. With this catalog, you look up the seal by dimension or by the transmission sub‑section (Section 8 covers both power shift and hydrostatic). You’ll find the correct part on the first page you open. Yale GDP/GLP35-55LJ/MJ 2008 Parts Catalog is a sibling book for the 35‑55 series, but the 35‑45 models covered here are the most common in fleet applications.

Source Authenticity: Original OEM Print

This is not a reprint, not a third‑party compilation, not a scan of a scan. The file is the direct factory PDF from Yale—YP990043, dated 10/2008. The OCR excerpt shows the exact Yale Europe header, model nomenclature, and section dividers. Aftermarket parts catalogs often omit the ECN “pending” notes because they think they’re clutter. Those notes are what save you from ordering a part that was superseded mid‑production. I’ve seen a shop put a wrong water pump on a GDP45 because the aftermarket listing didn’t show the Tier II vs. Tier III difference. This manual does. Yale OS 030 BC SS 030 BC 1997 Parts Catalog OEM is older, but the same commitment to factory accuracy holds for this 2008 publication. You can read more about why OEM documentation matters in the Automotive Industry Overview and see how parts traceability ties into safety and reliability.

Is this catalog specific to one transmission type?

No. It covers both power shift and hydrostatic transmission variants. Transmission section (Section 8) includes exploded views for both, with separate part numbers for clutches, seals, valve bodies, and torque converters.

Why should I trust this over a free online parts list?

Free lists often combine supercessions, omit ECN changes, and use generic drawings. This 658‑page factory catalog shows the exact assembly configuration as built in 2008, with ECN notes like “PENDING PER ECN 92950” on the undercarriage pan. That detail matters when you’re tracking down a part that changed mid‑year. I’ve used free lists that cost me a day of downtime because the seal they listed was the wrong I.D. This manual is the source those lists are trying—and failing—to copy.

If you’re maintaining a fleet of Yale GDP35, GLP35, GDP40, GLP40, or GDP45 lift trucks from the 2008‑ish era, this is the parts catalog you need on your tablet or printed out. Access the factory manual from AutoRepairManuals and stop wasting time on second‑guessing part numbers. Your shop will thank you.
