Forklift Radiators

About the product

Forklifts stop and start all day, carry loads and often work in dusty, dirty environments. Under these conditions, engine and transmission cooling must not interrupt the work. A forklift radiator removes the heat produced by the engine and the transmission and helps keep the operating temperature in balance.

Safkan forklift radiators are of the brazed type and are listed by product code, from SFK011048 to SFK754040. To find the right code, size and transmission type are considered together.

When a radiator is clogged, leaking or has damaged fins, the forklift is likely to run into overheating problems. On machines working under load, this directly affects the workflow, so the radiator needs to suit the machine and have the correct dimensions.

Where it is used

Forklifts working in intensive and dirty environments such as ports, construction sites and textile plants are the main application area of this group. For similar heavy-duty conditions, see our article on where industrial machine radiators are used.

The product codes cover different combinations of size and transmission. Which code fits which machine depends on the size, the connections and the transmission type, so it is safer to confirm the code together than to guess from the list.

Technical summary

• 16 product codes: SFK011048 ... SFK754040
• Type: brazed radiator
• Dimensions: between 400x438x48 mm and 525x448x48 mm; one code is 500x418x40 mm
• Transmission: automatic or standard
• PDF datasheet for every product code

Even if a size difference looks small, the correct code must be chosen for the connection points and the fit.

Choosing the right model

For a quick and accurate match, it is enough to send us the following:

• Make, model and year of manufacture of the forklift
• Transmission type: automatic or standard
• Width, height and thickness of the current radiator
• Product code or label information on the current radiator, if there is any
• A photo showing the position of the connection points
• Operating environment: heavy dust, enclosed space, outdoors

If you find it hard to tell the symptoms apart, the article on how to recognize a radiator failure gives you a first idea.

The PDF datasheet of each product code makes it easier to check dimensions and technical details. Measuring your current radiator and photographing its label is the most practical way to find the right code. If you have more than one forklift, giving the details for each machine separately avoids confusion and keeps the quote process clear.
