If an internal combustion engine powers your forklift, it's important to ensure its engine's cooling system is always running smoothly. To assist you in this task, Lift Parts Warehouse offers you a large selection of forklift cooling parts, which of course, includes a wide range of engine cooling thermostats. The engine coolant thermostat is basically a valve that opens or closes depending on the coolant’s temperature.

A Replacement Forklift Thermostat to Keep You Going

The forklift thermostat is a mechanical device that uses a wax pellet that expands as the temperature increases. This movement causes a metal rod inside the thermostat to push open or close the valve, depending on the position. Having a working engine coolant thermostat in your forklift is important because it helps regulate the engine's operating temperature.

If your forklift thermostat becomes stuck in the closed position, it can cause the engine to overheat because the coolant cannot circulate properly. On the other hand, if it becomes stuck in the open position, it can cause the engine to run cold because too much coolant is being circulated. Either way, it's important to have a working engine coolant thermostat in order to keep your forklift engine running at its optimal temperature.

While the coolant is still cold, the wax remains solid, and the bypass valve is open. It permits coolant to keep circulating through the engine body. When the fluid temperature rises, the wax begins to melt; Gradually, the bypass valve closes, and the main valve opens. In this way, the hot fluid passes through a hose towards the radiator.

When the water pump inserts cold coolant to circulate in the engine body, the temperature decreases, and the thermostat valve returns to its initial position ( the bypass valve opens, and the main valve closes). To visualize how all this works, please check out the following video.

Is it Time to Replace Your Forklift Thermostat?

Over time, however, the thermostat can become less effective, leading to an overheated engine. If you notice that your forklift's engine is running hotter than usual, it's important to have the thermostat checked by a qualified technician. If the thermostat is defective, the cooling system will not work well. The most evident problem is engine overheating, which occurs a few minutes after running. Another sign that something's wrong with your thermostatic valve is the incorrect ( or fluctuating) temperature changes shown by the forklift gauge. The most common reasons why the thermostat of a forklift is replaced are:

  • Coolant is Leaking From the Thermostat. It happens when the device keeps stuck and cannot open; commonly, the leaking is found in the housing or the mounting surface. If this issue occurs in a recently installed thermostat, the problem could be caused by a faulty installation. But also it can be caused by a defective thermostat gasket.
  • The Forklift Thermostat is Rusted. Low maintenance practice and no coolant replacement on time could make the forklift thermostat to get rusted. The air can also generate corrosion (which commonly comes from a defective radiator cap). A suitable new thermostat must replace the damaged one to solve the problem. In addition, it is recommended to check the radiator cap.
  • The Engine Coolant Thermostat is Clogged. It is caused by a coolant that is contaminated or non-compatible. It generates a sludge accumulation around the main valve and avoids the correct functioning of the device.

The Right Engine Coolant Thermostat for Your Lift Truck

Be sure that the specifications of the new forklift thermostat match the old one. Some of the more important of these are:

  • The opening temperature measure.
  • The maximum outside diameter (OD).
  • Height ( its total height but also its height for the radiator and engine side).

Easy to Install Forklift Engine Coolant Thermostats

If this is your first time replacing a forklift thermostat, don't worry, it's easier than you think. Follow the steps below, and your forklift will run smoothly again in a few minutes. But first, getting a new gasket in addition to a new engine coolant thermostat is recommended. The gasket's function is to seal the connection between the engine and the radiator hose. In this way, you can avoid future problems by using the old gasket. Follow the below steps for the thermostat replacement:

  1. Be sure that the engine is cold.
  2. Locate where your thermostat is. As a reference, remember it is located inside the inlet upper-radiator hose.
  3. Pull off the radiator hose. Before doing this- for a clean working environment- put a recipient to catch the coolant containing the hose.
  4. Remove the thermostat housing.
  5. Remove the old gasket.
  6. Remove the old/damaged thermostat.
  7. Place the new thermostat and gasket.
  8. Install the thermostat housing and the radiator hose again.

Additionally, we suggested refilling the coolant and a correct bleed of the cooling system, refilling of coolant, and replacing radiator hose clamps.
