1450177440 Boot, Shift Cylinder | Mitsubishi FB Forklifts
Overview
The 1450177440 Boot, shift cylinder is a replacement protective boot for Mitsubishi electric counterbalance forklifts. Fitted around the shift cylinder rod, it shields the cylinder’s internal seals and sliding surfaces from dust, moisture and workshop debris. When this boot cracks, splits or perishes, contaminants can work into the shift mechanism, causing stiff or erratic direction changes, accelerated seal wear and, eventually, cylinder failure. Fitting a new 1450177440 Boot, shift cylinder is a simple, low-cost way to protect a far more expensive component and keep your truck moving smoothly between forward and reverse.
Compatibility
This boot is specified for the Mitsubishi FB10–FB18 electric forklift families:
- CA1 series: FB10(H)CA1(J), FB14(H)CA1(J), FB15(H)CA1(J) and FB18(H)CA1(J), covering the H and J variants of each capacity
- CA series: FB10CA, FB14CA, FB15CA and FB18CA
Whether you are searching for the 1450177440 for FB10(H)CA1(J) or a matching boot for an FB15CA, one part number covers the whole listed FB10 to FB18 range. As always, confirm the number against your truck’s model plate or parts manual before ordering.
Quality and Reliability
Mitsubishi engineers its forklifts for continuous material-handling duty, and replacement components need to keep pace. This Boot, shift cylinder is produced to the dimensions of the original part, so it seats correctly on the shift cylinder and stays in position during service. The flexible, hard-wearing material stands up to the grease, moisture and temperature changes typical of warehouses, loading docks and yards, maintaining a reliable barrier over thousands of travel direction changes.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the boot at every drive and shift system service, checking for cracking, hardening or splits in the folded sections.
- Fit a new boot whenever the shift cylinder is removed or overhauled – it is inexpensive insurance for the assembly.
- Clean the cylinder rod before fitting, and never use sharp tools that could nick the rod or the fresh boot.
- Seat the boot fully over both locating surfaces and secure it exactly as the original was retained.
- Wipe the boot down during routine checks; replacing it at the first sign of wear keeps contamination away from the shift cylinder.
