Forklift Starters
Keep Your Fleet Moving with Forklift Starters
Let’s be honest when your forklift does not start, everything else grinds to a halt. We have seen it firsthand with our customers in warehouses, on construction sites, and in manufacturing plants.
That is why, here at Helmar Parts, we have built our entire category of forklift starters to help you avoid downtime, delays, and unnecessary stress. Since 1982, our family-owned business has been delivering forklift parts that strike that sweet spot between price and performance.
Built to Match Your Forklift’s Specific Engine Setup
Not all forklift engines are built the same and neither are their starter motors. Some need the torque to turn over a heavy duty 2Z engine, while others might be running something leaner like a 1DZ. That is where we step in.
Our online store includes starters built for 1FZ Diesel, 3P, 4P, and even specialized configurations like 2H Diesel or 2J Diesel. If you know your part number, we have likely got a match that fits like a glove. If you are not sure, our team can help decode what you have under the hood. A replacement part only makes sense if it truly fits your model.

Voltage Choices That Match Your Equipment’s Power Needs
One of the things we remind folks of often is that voltage matters. If your vehicle requires a 24 volt starter, dropping in a 12 volt model is going to get you nowhere fast. That is why we stock both. Whether you are running older equipment with a 12 volt system or newer machines with more power under the hood, we have got the voltage options to keep your machine in motion.
It might seem like a small detail, but it is the kind of thing that separates a productive day from one full of frustration. A weak battery and a mismatched voltage will not rotate that flywheel no matter how new the starter solenoid is.
Forklift Starter Motor Selection Built Around Your Brand
You would not wear someone else’s boots to work so do not shove a mismatched starter into your forklift. Our starter motor collection is compatible with a wide range of brands including the big names like Hyster and Caterpillar as well as those often harder to source for like Jungheinrich.
Some of our customers run mixed fleets, juggling various models in one facility. Others are loyal to one manufacturer. Either way, our parts fit the equipment you already own and they are ready when you need them. Whether it is a new starter or a simple replacement, the right starter makes all the difference.

No More Guesswork with Tooth Count Options
Here is something you might not think about until you are staring at the spec sheet tooth count. We carry options with 8 to 13 teeth, giving you the range you need to match your model. And if that number makes your head spin, you are not alone.
We have helped plenty of managers make sense of these details without the technical jargon. The right pinion has to engage the flywheel and do it reliably every time. All you need is your part number or engine type and we will help fill in the blanks.
Why Forklift Starters from Helmar Parts Are Worth It
There is a reason operations across the country turn to Helmar Parts. Our forklift starters do not just check boxes on a spec sheet. They are built for the grind, the dust, the heat, the stop and go chaos of real life on the floor. More than that, our team knows this business.

- Our downloadable catalogs help cut down time spent searching
- Our cross-reference tools make even obscure starter types findable
- We offer honest advice that respects your time and budget

We have been doing this since cassette tapes were cutting edge and our catalog has only gotten smarter since then. Whether you are buying a replacement or upgrading from failing other starters, we help you find what works without the guesswork.
Forklift Starters Engineered to Withstand Real-World Use
Let’s talk about expectations. If you are hoping a cheap off brand starter pulled from the bottom shelf will get you through peak season well, we have seen how that story ends. The pre engaged starters and hydraulic starters in our inventory are chosen for durability and real-world functionality.
They are designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy with a consistent crank. That means less stress on your battery, smoother ignition, and fewer surprises when your vehicle has to start under pressure. One of our warehouse managers once joked, "Your starter outlasted my last forklift driver." We will take that as a compliment.
