Forklift Keys

Forklift keys are the ignition keys for counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, telehandlers and other warehouse and site plant. Many manufacturers use a small number of common ignition key patterns across their range, and the key number is usually stamped on the key itself or on the ignition switch.Before ordering, check the machine brand and model, and compare the number on an existing key or the switch with the listings. Some fleets use a single key pattern across several machines, so spares are useful for shift changes.For operator control, many sites restrict who holds ignition keys, so keep spares with the site manager. If the ignition switch has been replaced with a non-standard or coded switch, the machine dealer is the better source. Fleet operators and hire companies can arrange bulk ordering through a trade account at Key Factory for Business.
