Yale NTA 040 DA 1998 Parts Catalog

If you’re pulling parts for a Yale NTA 040 DA narrow aisle turret truck, the last thing you need is aftermarket guessing. This Yale NTA 040 DA 1998 Parts Catalog is the factory-issued book – 124 pages of exploded views, part numbers, and assembly breakdowns. I’ve been a tech for 28 years, and I’ve seen guys waste a full day hunting down a Lift Cylinder seal because they used a third-party catalog that swapped a part. This manual stops that cold.

Drive Motor and Drive Unit: Page 3-4 Layout

You want to identify which Drive Motor assembly fits your truck? Head to page 3-4. The exploded view shows every bearing, seal, and mounting bolt with the correct OEM part number. Cross-referencing against the model nomenclature on page 2 ensures you’re ordering the right voltage and drive configuration – single or dual drive. Don’t trust a generic parts list that lumps all NTA 040 DA variants together. This catalog respects the A874 design series suffix.

Auxiliary Lift Cylinder and Mast Components – Factory Breakdowns

The auxiliary lift cylinder is a common wear item on these turret trucks. Page 8-14 gives you the full cylinder assembly with seals, piston, and rod. Same for the auxiliary mast group on page 8-12. If you need main lift cylinder parts, the Simplex version is on page 6-4. You get all the cylinders – auxiliary lift, main lift, rotator cylinder – in one source. That means you don’t order a cylinder that’s one inch too short because a third-party catalog misread the stroke.

Does This Catalog Cover the Complete Electrical System?

Yes – the Electrical Arrangement section starts on page 2-2, and the full Electrical System with switches, sensors, and horn is on page 1-3. You get the wiring harness routing and component locations, though this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Need to identify which controller board or connector goes where? The part numbers are factory-verified. Compare your truck’s nameplate to the model code table on page 2, and you’ll know exactly which electrical variant you have.

3 Systems That Require Accurate Part Numbers

1. Hydraulic Arrangement – Triplex and Simplex versions each have their own hose routing and proportional valve setups (pages 7-6 and 7-8).
2. Lifting Unit – Mast assemblies, cables, chains, and main lift motor/pump combos change between simplex and triplex. Page 7-2 breaks down the lifting unit with all hardware.
3. Rotator and Fork Carriage – The rotator cylinder, latch cylinder, and fork carriage parts (pages 8-3 through 8-8) are often misordered because aftermarket books use a one-size-fits-all drawing. This catalog separates telescopic forks from standard forks.

Source Validity: OEM vs. Aftermarket Parts Catalogs

This catalog was printed in July 1998 by Yale Materials Handling Corp out of Greenville, NC. It’s the official parts listing for the NTA 040 DA (model code A874). Aftermarket catalogs routinely reprint old data, skip revision letters, or omit optional equipment. Yale’s own note on page 2 warns that if your truck has special options not covered here, you contact the dealer. That’s honesty you don’t get from a reprint. Page numbers like 8-16 for Auxiliary Hydraulic Arrangement are exact – not “refer to similar” nonsense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications for cylinder installation?

No. This is a parts catalog – it gives you part numbers and exploded views, not service steps or torque values. You need the service repair manual for those.

How do I verify that this manual matches my specific Yale NTA 040 DA truck?

Look at the nameplate on your truck. The model code is printed in the format NTA 040 D A E 72 T V 114 (see page 2 of the catalog). Compare each character – rated capacity, drive axle, control, voltage, mast type, collapsed mast height. If the code matches the A874 design series, this is the correct catalog. Yale explicitly states that the manual is correct only when the model code agrees with the nameplate. If your truck has options like telescopic forks or different mast heights, cross-reference the alphabetical index (page 3) to find the specific sections that cover your configuration. Don’t assume a generic “fits NTA 040” – the D (dual drive) vs S (single drive) changes the drive unit and electrical components completely.

If you’re rebuilding a Yale NTA 040 DA, don’t guess on part numbers. Paying a dealer $50 for one part number lookup is a waste when you own the full catalog. Access the Factory Manual and get the job done with the right parts the first time.
