The load wheels of a machine are primarily responsible for carrying the load, and typically carry the braking system making them a vital component of its respective machine, thus making it important to replace load wheels when needed. Depending on the material that your machine drives on will determine what type of material is needed.
Common materials include the following: polyurethane, nylon, steel and rubber. In addition to material type, level of hardness is also a key attribute. With these components comes a difficult decision: which material do I need for MY machinery?
Load Wheels By Brand
Out of convenience, Intella separates them by brand of forklift. We offer load wheels for the following brands: Yale, Clark, Hyster, Toyota, Crown, Raymond, and CAT.
How to Replace Load Wheels
We made a step by step YouTube video on how to replace load wheels. Here are all the steps:
Step 1: Remove Roll Pin and Pivot Pin
Step 2: Punch New Bearings In
Step 3: Install Wheel in New Riser
Step 4: Tap in Roll Pins
Step 5: Install New Pivot Pin in Riser/Link
Step 6: Install Riser into Jack. Install New Roll Pins
All of these forklift brands–Yale, Clark, Hyster, Toyota, Crown, Raymond, CAT— don’t manufacture their own load wheels, so when you buy from Intella, you’re most likely buying from the same suppliers as them ensuring that the load wheel you purchase fits the model you use. Intella also offers the best parts prices across the internet!

How to determine the year of a Linde Forklift:
Linde uses a 3 digit series system for their models of forklifts. For example, you can have a series 394 forklift. To determine the year of a Linde forklift, there will be a letter in the serial number after the series number. Here’s a handy chart showing which letters correspond to which year. For example, if your Linde has a serial number of H2X394T02292, it will be a 2006 truck (T=2006)

Our ‘Keep Out’ Red Zone Light does exactly that–keeps pedestrians away from your forklifts! There are nearly 19,000 forklift related accidents per year involving pedestrians in the USA alone. Help reduce this number with the Keep Out Zone Light to warn pedestrians of forklifts in the area. The light is easily installed on the side of the forklift. When mounted, the product projects a large, red beam of light onto the ground to warn pedestrians in the work area that a forklift is near. The red beam of light projected on the ground is referred to as the ‘keep out zone’ and is not to be entered while the forklift is in operation.
When used in conjunction with the Blue Spot Forklift Light, which is mounted on the back of the forklift, pedestrians can have complete awareness of forklift traffic. The Blue Spot Forklift Light warns pedestrians around the corner or down the aisle that traffic is coming. The Keep Out Zone Light helps pedestrians keep a safe distance away from the forklift at all times. The Keep Out Zone Light is similar to the Speaker Model 527 (part no. 0549271). Intella also has an online accessory catalog full of LED work lights suitable for forklifts. You can download that pdf file here.

My forklift battery smells a lot like rotten eggs – Why?
We hate to be the bearer of bad news but the smell of rotten eggs
coming from your forklift battery is not a good thing. The unpleasant smell resembling that of expired eggs is actually sulfur. Forklift batteries are made from lead plates that are covered in a lead oxide paste. This then sits in a pool of sulfuric acid. Almost every vehicular battery, regardless of the application, will at some point get a bad cell. When one of these battery cells stop taking a charge, the battery charger will throw everything it’s got at it to try and bring up the voltage. This causes the cell to get very hot and will boil the sulfuric acid stored inside the battery. When sulfuric acid gets cooked, you’re left with the rotten egg smell. Now if you’ve got an internal combustion forklift, the alternator could be overcharging your battery also resulting in the funky smell.
So now I know why it smells, but what do I do now?
First thing’s first: Turn that charger off and let the battery cool down. No one likes boiling sulfuric acid. For safety reasons, place a tag on the battery to make sure no one uses it. Get in contact with a professional to check out your battery and charger. Have the professional replace the bad cell. If you can’t replace the cell, replace the battery. Following the replacement of the battery or the battery cell, check to see if your charger is working properly. No one wants to buy a new battery only to have it ruined by a bad battery charger.
What caused my battery to fail?
Assuming that it wasn’t your battery charger that was the problem, there are a few things that may have caused your battery to fail.
Water – If the water that you add to the battery is full of dissolved minerals, the minerals can accumulate making it rather difficult for the battery to take a charge. This can cause the cell to overheat.
Warehouse Floor – Working on an uneven floor can jar the forklift battery, knocking the oxide paste off of the plates causing them to short out.
Manufacturer’s Defect – Every now and then a battery may flat out under-perform. This can be due to a defect in the battery. Check with the manufacturer of the battery in regards to warranty information as many times they will be covered for a certain number of years.

The Impco Model J Regulator is a fantastic product, but like all machine parts, get worn out and need care. This blog page is dedicated to repairing and/or replacing your regulator. Impco is a manufacturer of fuel system components that has been around since 1958. Impco works with fuel system components for alternative fuels like LPG/propane gas that allow for a cleaner environment. You can find Impco parts in a variety of different forklift brands such as Hyster, Nissan, Toyota, Yale and many others. Intella carries the most popular pressure regulator, the Impco Model J, along with a few other models, accessories and kits.
How to Repair and Rebuild Your Impco Model J Regulator:
Full Replacements:
So your regulator is on it’s way to the forklift graveyard? Have no fear. Here at Intella we have a couple different models so you can find the perfect replacement to get your forklift running smooth again.
The Impco Model J regulator/vaporizer delivers reliable performance and pressure output consistency. It’s reliability, especially with questionable fuel quality, has made it an industry standard for many years. Two vapor outlet pressures are available. The standard Impco Model JB (this version, meaning blue spring) provides -1.5″wc (0.37 kPa). The optional JO (J-orange) provides 0.5″ wc (0.12 wPa). The port size and mounting pad locations are identical to the Impco Cobra regulator and include a primary pressure test port and “left” or “right” fuel outlets.

The generic model JB regulator and the Impco Model J are similar in build, although a noticeable difference would be the primer button found on the generic model JB. Impco no longer manufactures Model J’s with a primer button but the generic model JB does have one. The primer button can allow for a shot of propane into the engine for starting purposes. The “B” stands for blue spring. This is by far the most common model J regulator. The blue spring offers negative 0.37 kPa (1.5 inches w.c.). The Impco Model JB diaphragm is made of hydrin and is suitable for most applications.
Repair Kits:
Don’t think you need a brand new regulator? Save some money and pick up a rebuild kit. You can repair and rebuild Model J Regulators using kits made of hydrin or silicone. You can rebuild a Model J regulator as many times as you can get your paws on a rebuild kit. Oh and you’re in luck because here at Intella, we regularly stock a few different kits.
What’s the difference between hydrin and silicone you ask?
Well to start off, silicone performs better in colder climates than hydrin. This is due to the fact that the silicone diaphragm stays noticeably more flexible in colder weather. The physical makeup of silicone is actually lighter than hydrin too, making a little bit more responsive. Lastly and very advantageous, is that silicone has a better resistance to being damaged from fuel.
Most common Impco regulator repair kit, mostly used on forklift propane fuel systems. Repair kit for the popular Model J forklift LPG regulator. Includes hydrin diaphragm, secondary seats, gaskets and primary diaphragm. Exactly what you need to rebuild an Impco Model J regulator.
