Forklift Radiators

A radiator core is the internal heat-exchange component made of tubes and fins that dissipates engine heat, while a complete radiator assembly includes the core plus tanks, mounting brackets, and fittings. Many forklift radiator replacements only require a new core if the tanks and housing remain in good condition.

Pricing varies significantly based on equipment size, manufacturer, and core complexity, generally ranging from under $1,500 for smaller units to well over $25,000 for large industrial or generator-set radiator cores. Contact our team with your model details for an exact quote.

Yes, we maintain inventory and sourcing relationships covering rare and hard-to-find applications, including older equipment lines that are no longer supported by original manufacturers. Our team can help identify compatible OEM-equivalent replacements even for discontinued forklift models.

Common causes include internal corrosion, tube blockages from debris or scale buildup, physical damage from impacts, and fin damage that reduces airflow and cooling efficiency. Regular coolant flushes and inspections can extend radiator life, but eventual replacement is standard maintenance for high-hour equipment.

Yes, our ICEBOX replacement parts line is manufactured to OEM-equivalent quality and performance standards, ensuring proper fit, durability, and cooling capacity that matches or exceeds original equipment specifications for forklifts and other heavy machinery.

Lead times vary depending on whether the radiator is in stock or requires special sourcing for rare applications. Contact our customer support team directly for current availability and shipping timelines specific to your forklift model and location.
