When ordering the correct parts for your forklift, knowing your forklift’s serial number is very important. The easiest way to find your Komatsu forklift’s serial number is to check the forklift’s (also called a data tag). This helpful label displays various details about your truck, like its model, its weight, how much it can lift, and more.

The use of this exclusive source of information makes this Serial Number Guide the most comprehensive resource available. The format of the Serial Number Guide follows the standard practice of listing serial numbers either by a machine’s make and model (and in some cases, Caterpillar being one, by serial number prefix) or by its manufacturer only when one set of numbers covers all categories and all models in a product line. Numbers are listed lowest to highest for known numbers assigned to machines in each given year. In some cases, because of the system a manufacturer may use to assign numbers, it is necessary to assign an arbitrary cutoff to the range of numbers for a given year. In these cases our team of analysts uses UCC filings to determine the most accurate cutoff points possible.
