Forklift Cables
Forklift Accelerator and Emergency Brake Cables for Reliable Performance
A forklift accelerator cable is one of those behind-the-scenes parts that keeps everything running smoothly. It connects the accelerator pedal to the engine throttle, transmitting mechanical force that controls the forklift’s speed. At Helmar Parts, we offer high-quality forklift accelerator cables designed for durability and responsiveness.
If a forklift starts hesitating or responds sluggishly when accelerating, it could be due to a stretched or frayed accelerator cable. Replacing it ensures your lift truck maintains precise control and safe operation. Whether you're managing a busy warehouse or overseeing a construction site, quick, consistent throttle response is critical, and our cables deliver just that.
Forklift Emergency Brake Cables Ensure Safety
Emergency brake cables are just as vital. These cables transfer force from the emergency brake lever or pedal to the rear brake system, activating the brake shoes and securing the forklift in place. Whether it's used for parking or emergency stops, this cable plays a key role in preventing accidents and unintended movement on the job site.
Constructed with a flexible steel wire inside a tough housing, these cables withstand heavy use in demanding environments. At Helmar Parts, we offer forklift emergency brake cables that fit a wide range of models and are easy for technicians to install. When your team depends on reliable stopping power, our cables help you meet strict safety standards without breaking the budget.

When to Replace Forklift Cables
Like any mechanical component, forklift cables wear out over time. Signs of a worn accelerator cable include delayed engine response, inconsistent speed control, or visible fraying. Emergency brake cables that feel loose or fail to engage the brakes should be replaced immediately to prevent dangerous rollaways. Here’s when it’s time to inspect or replace your forklift cables:
- Accelerator pedal feels stiff or unresponsive
- Vehicle fails to accelerate or decelerate as expected
- Emergency brake doesn't hold the forklift in place
- Cables are visibly rusted, kinked, or frayed
Staying ahead of cable wear keeps your forklifts running safely and efficiently, something every warehouse and fleet manager should prioritize.
