1460489170 COUSHION ,CYLINDER for Mitsubishi FB Forklift

Overview

The 1460489170 COUSHION ,CYLINDER is a replacement cylinder cushion for Mitsubishi electric counterbalance forklifts. Mounted inside the lift cylinder, the cushion decelerates the plunger as it nears the end of its stroke, absorbing the impact that would otherwise pass through the mast, carriage and load. When this component wears, operators typically notice the forks landing hard at full lift height, bouncing under load, or loud metallic contact at the top of the stroke. Fitting a new 1460489170 cushion restores smooth, controlled cylinder travel, reduces shock loading on hydraulic components, and helps maintain safe, precise load handling throughout the working day.

Compatibility

The 1460489170 for FB13TCA trucks also fits the wider Mitsubishi electric counterbalance range, covering two model families:

• FB13TCA / FB15TCA / FB18TCA / FB20TCA series – compact electric counterbalance trucks widely used in warehouses and light-duty applications
• FB20(H)CA / FB25(H)CA / FB28(H)CA / FB30(H)CA series – the higher-capacity (H) variant range for heavier pallet handling

No alternative OEM numbers have been published for this listing, so 1460489170 is the reference number to quote when ordering. Before purchase, we recommend confirming the part number against your truck’s serial plate or parts manual to ensure exact fitment.

Quality and Reliability

This cylinder cushion is produced to match Mitsubishi original dimensions, so it seats correctly in the cylinder bore and delivers consistent deceleration across the full stroke. The material is selected to withstand continuous contact with hydraulic fluid and repeated high-pressure cycling, resisting the flattening, cracking and extrusion that cause premature failure in inferior parts. Consistent manufacturing tolerances mean the 1460489170 installs without modification and performs predictably from the first lift cycle, helping you avoid repeat downtime on the same cylinder.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

Before replacing the cushion, relieve all hydraulic pressure and fully lower the mast, then chock the wheels and support the truck safely. Remove the lift cylinder according to the service manual and inspect the bore, plunger and rod for scoring or wear — a damaged bore will destroy a new cushion quickly. Check the seals and wear rings at the same time and replace them if they show hardening or cuts. Lightly coat the new 1460489170 cushion with clean hydraulic fluid before assembly to prevent dry-start damage. After reassembly, bleed the system if required and cycle the mast several times without load, then test with a typical load. Inspect the cushion at every major service interval.
