Yale GP, GTP, GLP, GDP, GD Parts Catalog: Factory Specs for Ordering Parts

If you’re ordering parts for a Yale forklift and you guess the part number, you’re wasting money. I’ve seen guys pull a bolt from the bin, slap it in, and two weeks later the lift’s down again because it was the wrong grade. This catalog kills that guesswork. It’s the factory-issued parts list for the GP, GTP, GLP, GDP, and GD series — 154 pages of exactly what you need to order, down to the last washer. No aftermarket repackaging, no reprints; this is the original Yale document.

Every entry comes with a code, reference number, part number, description, quantity, and remarks. You get the full system — including how to handle revisions when parts get swapped out mid-production. The first few pages lay out how to read the list, and page 2 explains the exchange procedure for late vs. early types. If you skip that, you’ll order a part that doesn’t fit your serial number range.

Inside the Yale GP, GTP, GLP, GDP, GD Parts Catalog

The catalog breaks down by model and subsystem. You’ll find sections for engine, transmission, brakes, steering, hydraulic system, and frame components. Each part is listed with a unique part number and a quantity. Items marked with “AR” mean the quantity varies — you order as required, but there’s an upper limit indicated by an asterisk. That asterisk isn’t decoration; it’s the maximum you should stock. For example, the 4TNE92 (2.7L) engine gets its own code, and fuel variants are flagged as GAS, DSL, or LPG right in the remarks column.

Right Hand vs Left Hand: Why Orientation Matters

The manual defines right hand and left hand based on the forward motion of the forklift. That sounds obvious, but I’ve had guys flip a bracket because they assumed driver’s side was left. It’s not. The truck’s forward direction is the reference. Always check the orientation before ordering — especially for steering arms, lamp brackets, and hydraulic lines. The abbreviation table on page 1 lists R.H. and L.H. exactly for that reason.

Read the Parts List Entries Correctly

Each entry has six fields. Code (like 13-S-108) is an identification code used in the parts sheet — not the part number. Reference numbers (1-, 2-) point to the projection drawing. The part number is what you order. Description gives the component name, and sometimes includes minimum specs or a category. Remarks column tells you which model it fits and notes any successive changes. If you see “(NA)” attached to the head of a part name, that part is not supplied individually — you buy the assembly.

Abbreviations: What GAS, DSL, LPG Mean

The abbreviation chart covers fuel types, engine families, and sizing. FE and F2 refer to engine families; 92 and 98 point to 4TNE92 (2.7L) and 4TNE98 (3.3L). You’ll also see U.S. for undersize and O.S. for oversize pistons or bearings. STD means standard. If you order a piston without checking U.S. or O.S., you’ll probably get the wrong clearance. That’s why the chart is right there — use it.

When Revisions Exist: Exchange of Parts Procedure

Part numbers change without notice. The catalog includes a section on exchange of parts. When a part is superseded, the late and early numbers are both listed, and the reference number gets an appended digit (1, 2, etc.) indicating how many times the part has been exchanged. You have to match your truck’s serial number to the correct version. If you order a part from the early column for a late truck, it may not bolt up. This is a common rookie mistake — the catalog prevents it.

3 Reasons Factory Parts Catalogs Save You Money

First, you avoid buying the wrong part and paying restocking fees. Second, you don’t open a box only to find a different revision that doesn’t fit. Third, you keep the lift running instead of waiting for another shipment. A $50 gasket ordered wrong can cost $500 in downtime. This 154-page document is cheap insurance. For background on why OEM documentation matters, see the Automotive Industry Overview. The automotive industry overview also explains why standardized parts numbering is critical — and that’s exactly what this catalog delivers.

FAQ

Does this catalog work for all Yale forklifts?

Only for the listed GP, GTP, GLP, GDP, and GD series. Other models have separate catalogs.

How do I identify the correct part number when there are multiple revisions?

Check the “Exchange of parts” section on page 2. It explains that when parts are replaced, the late and early numbers are listed in the Remarks column. The reference number gets a digit appended (1, 2, etc.) to indicate the exchange count. You must match your truck’s serial number to the applicable revision. For example, if the remarks say “Applying model: GP20-xxxxx” and your serial falls in that range, use the late part number. If not, use the early one. This is detailed in the catalog — read it before ordering.

Are wiring diagrams or torque specs included?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, not wiring or torque values. Use a separate service manual for those.

What does “AR” mean in the quantity column?

AR means “As Required.” The quantity varies per application. The asterisk next to the number shows the maximum you should order. Stay within that limit.
