14391350 Cylinder, Sideshift for Jungheinrich DFG Forklifts
Overview
The 14391350 Cylinder, Sideshift is a hydraulic carriage cylinder specified for Jungheinrich counterbalance forklifts. Mounted behind the forks, it converts hydraulic pressure into smooth lateral fork movement so the operator can position loads precisely without constantly repositioning the truck. When this cylinder begins to leak, drift under load, or shift unevenly, handling accuracy and stability suffer immediately. Fitting the correct replacement restores precise fork control, protects pallets and racking from damage, and keeps your Jungheinrich DFG truck working safely. The unit is produced to match the original dimensions, mounting points and hydraulic performance for a direct-fit installation.
Compatibility
The 14391350 for DFG trucks is specified for the following Jungheinrich diesel and LP gas counterbalance series:
- DFG 15-20 AE series
- DFG 20-30 TE series
- DFG 20-30
These designations cover Jungheinrich trucks in the 1.5 to 3.0 tonne capacity range widely used in warehousing, manufacturing and loading dock operations. Cylinder variants can differ between production runs, so if you are unsure whether your truck uses the 14391350 Cylinder, Sideshift, send us the model and serial number from your data plate and our team will confirm fitment before you order.
Quality and Reliability
A sideshift cylinder works hard in dusty, demanding environments, so construction matters. The 14391350 is built to the original Jungheinrich specification, with a honed cylinder barrel, a hardened piston rod and a seal set selected for the operating pressures of the truck’s hydraulic system. Matching the original geometry keeps sideshift travel and mounting alignment true, reducing uneven fork wear and helping the carriage move freely under load. Choosing the exact part number instead of a near-match helps you avoid hydraulic leaks, premature seal failure and the downtime caused by a marginal fit.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Relieve the hydraulic pressure and support the carriage before removing any hoses or fittings.
- Photograph hose routing and mounting orientation before disassembly to simplify reinstallation.
- Fit new seals or O-rings at the connections and use clean hydraulic fluid of the grade recommended by Jungheinrich for your DFG truck.
- After installation, bleed air from the circuit, cycle the sideshift slowly several times without a load, then check for leaks at the fittings and rod seal.
- Inspect the rod for scoring and the cylinder for external weeping during routine service; addressing early seepage prevents a sudden loss of sideshift function.
