Forklift Alternators
Power Through the Workday with the Right Forklift Alternator
Some parts don’t get much attention until they throw a wrench in your plans. A forklift alternator falls squarely into that category. It works behind the scenes, generating electricity to keep your forklift’s battery charged and the lights on.
But when a faulty alternator shows up, you notice fast. At Helmar Parts, we’ve been helping customers replace these critical parts since 1982. We know how one small device can throw off your entire system—and how important it is to find the right match quickly.

A Forklift Alternator That Fits the Way You Work
When your forklift’s electrical system starts acting up, the alternator is often the culprit. We offer brand new forklift alternators for various models with options in different voltage capacities and regulator types. Whether your machine runs on 12, 18, or 24 volts and needs an internal or external regulator, our stock is ready to meet your needs.
Your choice can depend on the kind of work you do. One of our clients in agriculture needed an alternator that could withstand hours of dusty field conditions. Another in logistics came to us needing a replacement for a belt-worn unit during peak season. We helped them both without delay—because when you're running forklifts on a tight budget, downtime costs more than parts ever will.
Why Forklift Alternator Compatibility Is a Big Deal
The wrong alternator doesn’t just fail—it risks damaging your charging system or other electrical components. We’ve seen what happens when someone tries to install a part that doesn’t line up with the voltage or stator requirements. It can lead to wear on the rotor, fluctuations in alternating current, and even burning rubber odors from overloaded belts. Nobody wants that.
Instead, you need a forklift alternator that matches your model’s output expectations, regulator type, and power requirements. That means checking the brand, cross-referencing the specifications, and making sure the part you install fits within your electrical system’s limits. Our team knows how to help you do just that without turning it into a full-blown project.

Let Your Forklift Alternator Pull Its Weight
This part is responsible for keeping your lights, horn, and other electrical components running while the engine is on. It generates electricity by using a rotating rotor inside a magnetic field that interacts with the stator to produce alternating current. It’s more than a background part—it’s central to the performance and longevity of your forklift.
That’s especially true in environments where lights are always on or where operators rely on digital controls during long shifts. If the alternator falls short of what your forklift demands, you’ll notice flickering displays, slow battery charging, or worse—complete system failure. Choosing a forklift alternator with the right power rating helps your equipment withstand daily wear and tear without constant maintenance calls.
