Universal Forklift Brake Pump — Brake Master Cylinder

This universal forklift brake pump is a hydraulic master cylinder designed as a versatile replacement for a broad range of 1-5 ton internal combustion and electric forklifts equipped with drum-type front brake systems. Serving as the core component of the hydraulic braking circuit, this master cylinder converts mechanical pedal force into regulated hydraulic pressure distributed through single or dual-circuit outlets to the front wheel cylinders. The cast iron body with a precision-honed bore ensures consistent piston travel and reliable fluid sealing throughout the full operating temperature range, making it suitable for general-purpose warehouse, logistics, and light industrial forklift applications where dependable braking performance is critical.

The cylinder assembly features a pre-installed piston with high-quality EPDM primary and secondary cup seals that prevent internal bypass leakage and maintain firm pedal feel over extended service intervals. The integrated transparent nylon reservoir allows quick visual brake fluid level checks during routine inspections without opening the system, reducing the risk of moisture contamination. The screw-cap lid includes a vented diaphragm that compensates for fluid level changes during brake application cycles. The push rod interface incorporates a flexible dust boot that seals against the pedal linkage rod, effectively blocking dirt, dust, and moisture from entering the cylinder bore. Outlet ports use standard metric threads (typically M10x1.0) compatible with OEM forklift brake line fittings.

Compatible with a wide range of forklift brands and models including HELI (CPCD10-CPCD50), Hangcha, Lonking, Dalian, Tailift, and other domestic and Asian-market forklifts using standard drum brake master cylinders. Before installation, verify the mounting bolt pattern (typically 2-bolt or 4-bolt flange), outlet thread size, and push rod length match your existing unit. Bench-bleed the master cylinder before installation, then perform a complete system bleed starting from the wheel farthest from the master cylinder. Use only fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
