Linde H12 parts for starting, fuel and visibility

The Linde H12 is a diesel or LPG forklift, so alongside cushions and lights it also needs engine side parts such as a start switch and a fuel filter. More than 30 replacement parts for the H12 are gathered on this page, from GRANIT, HELLA, GRAMMER, BOSCH and MANN-FILTER.

Engine side

A key that turns without the engine catching often points to the glow start switch, and two versions of it are listed for the H12. On a diesel truck the fuel filter from MANN-FILTER belongs on every service list. After fitting a new filter, prime it as far as possible and bleed the system as the operator manual describes. Air left in the line causes hard starting and stalling, which is easily blamed on the switch you just fitted.

Worm drive hose clamps to DIN 3017 complete the engine bay items. Tighten them until the hose is secure, but stop before the band starts cutting into the rubber.

Seat, lights and signals

• Back cushions and seat cushions in black PVC, including upper part 721
• Mirrors and wiper blades with a metal frame
• Halogen bulbs, a work lamp and a rear light
• An indicator lens and a round reflector
• A horn with bracket and the red hazard light symbol
• A black adaptor

Trucks that move between the warehouse and the yard take a beating on lenses and reflectors. Once a lens cracks, moisture gets in and the bulb holder behind it starts to corrode, so a quick lens swap now saves a whole lamp later.

Checking fit before you order

Read the data plate first to make sure it is an H12 and whether it runs on diesel or gas, because that decides whether the fuel filter matters to you at all. Then let the old part guide you. Filters carry their number on the canister, and a switch shows its number of terminals at the back. Compare those details with the reference number and description given for the product. For hose clamps, measure the outside of the hose where the clamp sits.

Mirrors deserve a regular look as well. A mirror that took a knock while manoeuvring often ends up slightly turned, hiding exactly the area you need to see, so reset it after every bump. A wiper blade that smears or chatters usually has a hardened rubber edge, and no amount of cleaning brings that back.

If your fleet includes other trucks from this maker, the Linde parts page lists every model with its own set of parts.
