Yale MP16, MP18, MP20 2002 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Manual

You are holding a part number on a torn label and five different online listings that all claim to fit your Yale lift truck. Which one is right? Waste another afternoon returning the wrong hydraulic valve or traction motor assembly. That is exactly why this Yale MP16, MP18, MP20 2002 Parts Catalog exists—to kill the guesswork before it costs you billable hours. I have torqued enough bolts to know that aftermarket cross‑reference sheets are garbage. You need the factory sheet index, the exact part numbers, and the serial number cutoffs that tell you which parts go on your truck. This 38‑page OEM manual, part number 524171926, covers the MP16, MP18, and MP20 models starting from serial number C841X01501A. It is the same binder that sat on the dealer’s parts counter in 2002.

Parts Identification: The Sheet Index System

Every assembly in this catalog lives on a numbered sheet. The Table of Contents—printed as PART SHEET INDEX / INDICE DELLE TAVOLE / INDEX DES TABLES—lists sheets from 1.A (Covers) through 25.A (Electric Horn). You do not flip through random pages. You find the sheet number, and there is your exploded view with callouts. For example, need a traction motor for the MP16 or MP18? Go to Sheet 7.A. The MP20 uses Sheet 8.A. Each sheet shows the part number, quantity, and description in five languages. No squinting at blurry photocopies. The Numerical Index at the back lets you look up a part number and instantly get the sheet location.

Test the Fit: Does Your Serial Number Match?

Before you order anything, check the serial number on your truck’s nameplate. This manual covers from serial number C841X01501A onward. Page 1 of the PDF lists the exclusion and inclusion ranges explicitly. If your machine falls outside that range, you need a different revision. Do not assume “close enough” with Yale parts—the frame battery removal bracket (Sheet 3.A) changed between model years. This catalog is for 2002 production. If your serial number falls within C841X01501A and later, every part listed is correct.

5 Critical Systems Covered in 38 Pages

• Frame Battery Vertical Removal – Sheet 3.A shows the battery extraction hardware for vertical lift. The caster wheel supports and load wheels are on Sheets 4.A and 5.A.
• Traction Unit and Motor – Sheet 6.A for the complete drive assembly; Sheets 7.A (MP16/MP18) and 8.A (MP20) give the traction motor breakdown. The magnetic brake is on Sheet 9.A.
• Hydraulic System – Sheet 10.A covers the pump and valve body; Sheet 24.A provides the hydraulic schematic for line routing.
• Electrical and Wiring Diagrams – Sheets 15.A through 18.A contain wiring diagrams for MP16, MP18, and MP20 separately. Sheet 17.A covers power cable connections for MP16/MP18; Sheet 18.A for MP20.
• Drawbar Control Box and Distributor – Sheet 11.A for the control handle and Sheet 12.A for the hydraulic distributor. Includes the console adapter (Sheet 22.A) and connector contacts (Sheet 23.A).

Every sheet uses OEM part numbers—not a generic list. If you need the electric horn assembly, Sheet 25.A gives you the Klaxon part number.

Why OEM Factory Documentation Beats Aftermarket Reprints

I have seen third‑party catalogs that list the wrong bolt length for a caster wheel because someone re‑keyed the numbers. This manual was printed by Yale in 2002. The part numbers match what the factory installed on the line. The adhesive label sheet (Sheet 2.A) even shows the correct safety decal placement and part numbers. Aftermarket “reprints” often omit the serial number range tables or the numerical index. If you are a dealer ordering for a customer, or a fleet manager maintaining multiple MP series trucks, one wrong part can idle a machine for three days. OEM documentation eliminates that risk.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Catalog?

If you own or service a Yale MP16, MP18, or MP20 walkie‑type pallet truck built in 2002, this is the only parts index you should trust. It works for DIY owners who want to source bearings and seals without paying dealer markup. It works for shop technicians who need to look up a hydraulic fitting on Sheet 10.A while the lift truck is on the lift. The multi‑language layout—English, Italian, French, German, Spanish—means you can hand it to any tech in the shop. I have used older revisions of this catalog to pull the correct load wheel for an MP16 that a parts counter guy swore was discontinued. It was not. The number was right there on Sheet 5.A.

For related manuals, see the Yale MP16 MP18 MP20 2006 Parts Catalog – 54 Pages OEM for later production, or the Yale MP20, MP30S Parts Catalog – 48-Page OEM Factory Manual if you need MP20 and MP30S coverage. For older trucks, the Yale OS 030 BC SS 030 BC 1997 Parts Catalog OEM covers a different series. For background on why OEM documentation matters in the Automotive Industry Overview and Automotive Industry Overview, the reliability of factory parts data is well documented.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual include service procedures like torque specs or fluid capacities?

No. This is a Parts Catalog only. It contains exploded diagrams, part numbers, and quantities. For repair procedures, you need the corresponding Service Manual for the MP16/MP18/MP20.

I have an MP18 built in 2001. Will this 2002 catalog work?

Check your serial number. The manual covers from serial C841X01501A. If your truck is earlier, some parts may have superseded. You can use the Numerical Index to verify, but for exact fit, find the manual that matches your serial number range.

How is the manual organized?

By a sheet index. Each system (e.g., traction motor, hydraulics) has a dedicated sheet. A Numerical Index at the back lets you look up a part number and find its sheet. Five languages are printed inline.

The PDF I obtained has blurry diagrams. Is that typical?

Not from this source. The file we provide is a direct scan of the original printed catalog. If you see blur, your viewer may be down‑sampling. Use a PDF reader that does not compress images.
