TextNote: This page is for TCM forklifts only. To find a serial number for a forklift of a different brand, click here for our other guides.
The most direct way to find your TCM forklift’s serial number is to check the data tag, also called a nameplate. The nameplate includes various information about your forklift–its weight, its model, how much it can lift, and more. Most importantly, the nameplate also lists the truck’s serial number. In general, a forklift nameplate looks like the image on the left, and on a TCM forklift it is commonly found around the dashboard, like in the image on the right: courtesy of OSHA
A serial number is very important when ordering TCM forklift parts for your forklift. But what if the nameplate has fallen off or worn down? Don’t panic. In many cases, a TCM forklift’s serial number can be found stamped somewhere on its frame. Below is a table of many different models of TCM forklifts and a set of reference figures. Use the table to determine which figure to use when looking for your TCM forklift’s serial number.

Somewher between 1997 and 2000, if you get over $3000 at auction you’re doing pretty good.
TCM Forklift serial A12W03059. What is the year?
2002 or 2003
I just bought a used TCM FG20 N7 forklift. The serial number is 28611690. Can you tell me the year? Thanks
That prefix (286) and that model was built between 1978 and 1981. We offer parts for this model.
dear
how can i know the manufacture date of my TCM forklift
Model FD70Z8
Serial : 30E02996
1998 please keep us in mind for all your parts needed for this TCM
Can’t find a model plate on my forklift anywhere.
has a FCG25 sticker on the side .
the only numbers i found stamped were
3180665
It’s difficult without complete model, however, TCM serial numbers that started with 318 may have been FCG25N5T, built in 1975
What about the year of manufacture, where do you find that please?? 🙂
Reply with your serial number and we can advise year. There’s no easy code.
