Signs Your Forklift Radiator Needs Replacing
A forklift radiator rarely fails without warning. The temperature gauge creeps up during busy shifts. Coolant levels drop between checks, or you spot drips under the counterweight. Fins look bent, packed with dust, or corroded. Plastic tanks may show cracks near the seams. Cleaning and coolant flush can fix mild blockages. However, if the truck continues to run hot after servicing, the core may be worn out. Replacing it early helps protect the engine and reduce the risk of an unplanned stop during a loading window. Keep a note of the truck model and serial plate details before ordering.Get Your Forklift Back to Work

FAQs About Material Handling
A forklift radiator works by passing hot engine coolant through thin tubes surrounded by fins. The cooling fan draws air through the core, which carries heat away before the coolant returns to the engine. On many counterbalance forklifts, air flows up from the floor, through the radiator and out past the counterweight.
A forklift usually overheats because of low coolant, a radiator clogged with dust and pallet wrap, a worn fan belt or a failing water pump. Hot weather and heavy continuous lifting add to the strain. Stop the truck, let the engine cool, and inspect the cooling system before putting it back into service.
Dolphin Catalogue covers forklift radiators and coolers for Toyota, Nissan, Caterpillar, Mitsubishi, MCFA and Hyundai trucks. Some units are shared across brands, such as a radiator listed for Caterpillar 8A, Nissan, MCFA, and Mitsubishi models. Use the manufacturer's filter on the material handling page to see the available forklift brands in the range.
Yes, there is a radiator for the Toyota 8FD15 and 8FG15 forklifts, covering 1998 to 2018 models. It measures 425 x 448 x 50 mm and is listed under part number 4601503. Check your truck year and engine type and compare the dimensions with your current radiator before you order.
Aluminium forklift radiators can be a suitable option for many modern trucks, and many factory units use them. They are lighter and offer good corrosion resistance. Copper-brass is heavier but can be repaired by soldering. For a direct replacement, match the core type and size with the original radiator, along with the mounting points and connections.
A combi cooler on a forklift is a single assembly that combines two or more cooling functions, such as a coolant radiator and an oil cooler. Joining them saves space in the compact engine bay. When one section leaks or becomes blocked, the whole combi cooler is usually replaced as one unit.
A forklift radiator should be checked every shift and cleaned whenever dust or debris builds up on the fins. Dusty sites, recycling yards and warehouses with loose packaging waste need more frequent cleaning. Add the coolant level to the daily inspection list and follow the truck maker’s service schedule for a full cooling system flush.
Dolphin Catalogue supplies aftermarket forklift radiators and cooling products for material handling equipment.
