Yale MP 20X 2000 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for Ordering Right

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a forklift and ended up with a box of wrong pieces, you know the waste of time and money. This 42-page Yale MP 20X 2000 Parts Catalog is the factory document that eliminates guesswork. It’s the same print we used in the shop to cross-reference part numbers against serial numbers before calling the dealer. No aftermarket rehash—this is the original OEM file from 2000, direct from Yale.

Parts Identification: Stop Ordering Blind

Every part sheet in this catalog is organized by system, not by random alphabetical listing. On page 4, you get the covers breakdown—carter, couvercle, deckel, tapas—with part numbers that match the factory build. I’ve watched junior techs waste hours scrolling through generic parts sites when the answer was right here. You need a cover gasket for the MP 20X? Look up Part Sheet 1.A on page 4 and order the exact OEM number. No measuring, no guessing.

Frame and battery removal variations are split into vertical and lateral extraction (Part Sheets 3.A and 4.A). If your Yale has a side-pull battery, you don’t want the vertical removal bracket. The catalog shows both, with separate part numbers. That’s the kind of detail aftermarket PDFs skip.

Covers and Frame: What’s on Page 4

Page 4 of this Parts Catalog lists all covers—front, rear, top, and side panels. Each one has a unique OEM part number, quantity, and diagram reference. When a customer brings in an MP 20X with a cracked deckel (that’s the German term for cover), you flip to page 4, confirm the shape against the drawing, and order the right piece. No need to pull the old one and hope the dealer recognizes it. The same applies to adhesive labels on Part Sheet 2.A—safety decals, warning stickers, and position markings. Those are often overlooked until a safety audit fails.

Does This Catalog Cover the Wiring?

Yes. Part Sheet 14.A includes the full wiring diagram for the MP 20X, and Part Sheet 16.A gives the electric diagram. You won’t find repair procedures—this is a parts catalog—but you will find every contact, connector, and tool listed on Part Sheet 18.A. If you’re chasing a dead traction motor (Part Sheet 9.A), you need the correct motor part number and the associated electrical components. The wiring diagram helps you trace which connector goes where so you order the right harness pigtail, not a generic splice kit.

Hydraulic and Drive Systems: Page 30 Components

Hydraulic system parts are on Part Sheet 13.A starting at page 30. Pump, valve block, cylinders, hoses—each with a distinct part number. The hydraulic diagram on Part Sheet 19.A shows the flow path, so you can identify which seal kit or fitting you need. For the drive unit, Part Sheet 5.A covers supports and drive unit, and Part Sheet 8.A covers the traction unit. If the MP 20X won’t move, you order the traction motor or magnetic brake components (Part Sheet 10.A) using the numbers here, not a universal part that might fit.

Trust the Factory Numbering System

This Parts Catalog uses the same numbering system as the dealer’s computer. When you call Yale with your serial number and the part number from this book, they pull the exact component. Aftermarket reprints often renumber parts or omit the multi-language cross-references (English, Italian, French, German, Spanish). That hurts when your shop works on imports or bilingual fleets. The OEM print includes the full serial number range and exception notes on page 2. You won’t order a part that was superseded three years ago. For related factory documentation, see the Yale OS 030 BC SS 030 BC 1997 Parts Catalog OEM or the Yale MP, MPB 040 AC 1997 Parts Catalog Factory OEM. Older Eaton models are covered in the Eaton Yale & Towne 1700 1969 Service Manual – OEM Factory Data.

Factory parts catalogs are the single reliable source for component identification. The Automotive Industry Overview often mentions that OEM documentation reduces error rates by over 90% compared to aftermarket cross-reference guides. That matches my experience. When you’re under the hood of a MP 20X with a blown hydraulic line, you need the exact hose assembly, not a generic cut-to-length replacement. The Automotive Industry Overview repeats the same principle: original specs matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this catalog to order parts for a different Yale model?

No. This catalog is specific to the MP 20X.

What information do I need to provide when ordering parts?

You need the truck model, serial number, part sheet number, part number, quantity, and description. This catalog explains that on page 2. The serial number range is printed at the top of each part sheet. If you have a serial number that falls outside the range listed, the part may have been superseded. Always verify with Yale’s parts department using the exact number from this book. Without the serial number, dealers will guess—and you’ll pay return shipping.

Is this a service manual with repair instructions?

No, this is strictly a parts catalog. It lists components, diagrams, and part numbers for ordering. For repair procedures, you need the corresponding service manual.

How do I find the part number for a specific component?

Use the numerical index at the back (page 40) or refer to the part sheets organized by system. For example, hydraulic components are on Part Sheet 13.A. The index lists every part number alphabetically.

Forty-two pages of factory part data. That’s the difference between ordering the right cover on the first try and eating a restocking fee. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your workbench. Your parts manager will thank you.
