Forklift Contactors
Forklift Contactors That Keep You Moving Forward
Let’s be real for a second — in a fast-paced warehouse or rugged construction yard, there’s just no time for equipment that can’t keep up. Downtime? It’s the enemy. That’s why we put serious thought into our forklift contactors here at Helmar Parts.
Built with high quality materials and robust construction, they’re designed to handle high current loads, coil voltage fluctuations, and the demands of your electrical system. Whether you’re moving pallets under a tight deadline or hauling heavy loads at a construction site, our contactors work just as hard as you do — no shortcuts, no compromises. And yes, they're built to prevent contact bounce and reduce power consumption, making them an essential component of your operation.
Forklift Contactors for Demanding Environments
We know what you’re up against. The heat, the dust, the constant stop-and-go — it all takes a toll. But our forklift contactors aren’t quitters. Whether you’re managing attached induction motors, low voltage motors, or electric motors in your lift trucks, these devices are designed for resilience. Our contactors follow the strictest NEMA standards and can provide power reliably, even in large lighting installations or industrial applications lighting control contactors setups.
You’ll find our contactors’ contacts, fixed contacts, and power circuit contacts are engineered to withstand electric arc and de-energized conditions, ensuring maximum continuous current rating without fail. One of our clients, running a 24-hour distribution center, once told us our contactors outlasted the competition by miles. And frankly? We weren’t surprised.

Contactors That Work Across Brands and Models
Now, here’s a little advice from folks who’ve been in the parts game a long time: not every forklift plays by the same rules. Some require higher coil voltage, others need double pole or even single pole configurations. That’s why we stock forklift contactors for all the big names — Hyster, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Yale, Caterpillar, and more.
Whether you’re working in an office building, retail building, or an industrial warehouse, we’ll help you provide central control over your electrical components. And yes, we account for things like auxiliary contacts, operating coils, and even two operating coils in more advanced models. You’ll save time and avoid headaches with parts that just fit — first time, every time.
Power Management That Makes a Real Difference
Ever notice how the small things — like a single contactor — can cause the biggest problems? It’s true. A poorly performing ac contactor can lead to under voltage situations or even momentarily energized main contacts, causing chaos in your electrical power circuit. With our forklift contactors, you’re giving your equipment the green light for steady, consistent control over the electrical power flow.
Think of it as providing power without the risk of overload. Our contactors' operating principle is designed to minimize energy waste while preventing damage to your machinery and personnel touching sensitive components. Fewer stalls, less contactor coil wear, and noticeably smoother operation? Count on it.

Built-in Durability That Protects Your Investment
No one likes wasting money on premature repairs, especially when margins are already tight. Our forklift contactors are designed to go the distance, plain and simple. Thanks to features like overload protection, durable contact springs, and mechanically held closed designs, you’re safeguarded from breakdowns.
The driving force behind their performance lies in the magnetic field generated by the coil — and trust us, our engineering team doesn’t cut corners here. These electrical contactors offer a longer service life, prevent operating coil failures, and ensure power cutoff is reliable whenever it’s needed most. Honestly, it feels good knowing you’re investing in parts that actually pay you back over time.
Contactors That Support Warehouse Efficiency
Let’s cut to the chase: warehouse operations live and die by efficiency. There’s a rhythm to it — pick, move, load, repeat — and our contactors are here to keep that rhythm steady. Whether you're providing power cutoff for high current loads or managing central control in complex systems, you’ll appreciate how these components reduce power consumption without sacrificing performance.
From lighting control in large installations to controlling electric motors in forklifts, these are devices designed for multi-purpose reliability. No frustrating slowdowns, no guesswork about the current rating, and no wondering if your operating coils are doing their job. Just dependable performance that helps you hit your targets and keep your team moving forward.

Fast, Hassle-Free Forklift Contactor Installation Every Time
Time is money. Simple as that. And when a forklift is down waiting for parts, the clock ticks a little louder. Our contactors — whether they’re NEMA contactors or specialized latching contactors — are built for easy, straightforward installation. Here’s a quick step-by-step approach we often recommend:
- Step 1: Match your forklift model with the right contactor from our catalog, considering your coil voltage and current rating.
- Step 2: Confirm your application needs — whether it's for providing power in central control systems or protecting your operating coils.
- Step 3: Install with clean, secure connections to prevent future issues like contact bounce or coil opens.
- Step 4: Test the system, including auxiliary contacts and power contacts, thoroughly before going back into operation.
With this simple checklist, you’re back up and running in no time. And remember, whether it's one coil or a second coil in play, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re wiring up normally open contacts for lighting control or ensuring power cutoff in your electrical system, you’ll appreciate how seamlessly our parts fit into your equipment.
