Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Compatible equipment / model
  • Clark GCX forklift trucks using the listed switch
  • Clark GPS forklift trucks using the listed switch
  • Other Clark forklift models only when the original part number, terminals, and anti-restart function match

Product Overview

A forklift that will not crank, cuts power when the key moves, or has a worn cylinder can lose valuable working time over a small switch. This replacement restores normal key-controlled start and run functions on trucks using the matching contact arrangement.

Clark used several different switches, including anti-restart designs, so compare terminals and body shape before purchase.

Compatibility Notice

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.

Model, production date, serial number, connector, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original component and reference information before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will it fit every Clark forklift? A: No. Match the listed reference number, terminals, and switch functions.

Q: What is anti-restart? A: Some switches prevent the starter from engaging again until the key returns to off. Confirm whether your original switch has this feature.

Q: Can the switch cause intermittent shutdown? A: Yes, worn contacts can interrupt power, but wiring and fuel or ignition controls should also be tested.

Q: What is the anti-restart function? A: On compatible Clark systems it helps prevent the starter from being re-engaged while the engine is already running; match the original switch behavior and terminals.

Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is an aftermarket item. Brand, model, and part numbers identify fitment only; compare the original part and the listing details before ordering.
