3185036180 Cylinder Ass’y (1st) MLH6700 | Mitsubishi FB10CA

Overview

The 3185036180 CYLINDER ASS’Y (1ST), MLH6700 is the first-stage hydraulic cylinder assembly for Mitsubishi electric counterbalance forklifts. As the “1ST” cylinder in the mast’s lift arrangement, it converts hydraulic pressure into the initial lifting movement of the forks. Typical signs of a worn unit include slow or uneven lifting, forks drifting down under load, or oil leaking around the mast. Fitting the correct replacement restores smooth lift performance and protects the rest of the hydraulic system.

Compatibility

This cylinder assembly fits two closely related families of Mitsubishi electric forklifts:

• FB10/FB14/FB15/FB18 CA series – FB10CA, FB14CA, FB15CA, FB18CA
• FB13/FB15/FB18 TCA series – FB13TCA, FB15TCA, FB18TCA

Whether you need the 3185036180 for FB10CA or a replacement first cylinder for an FB18TCA, this is the reference to quote. No separate OEM cross-reference is required — 3185036180 is the primary number in Mitsubishi parts documentation. To confirm fitment completely, send us your truck’s model and serial number and our parts specialists will verify it before your order is processed.

Quality and Reliability

Mitsubishi FB-series electric trucks are built for intensive warehouse and dock work, and the lift cylinders are among the hardest-working components on the mast. This 3185036180 assembly is sourced to match the original Mitsubishi specification for dimensions, mounting points and hydraulic performance, so it installs in place of the worn unit without modification. A correctly sized, well-sealed first cylinder also reduces strain on the pump, hoses and remaining mast components, helping you avoid secondary failures and unplanned downtime.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Park the truck on level ground, lower the forks fully and disconnect the battery before starting work on these electric models.
• Relieve residual hydraulic pressure in the lift circuit before opening any fittings.
• Support the mast and chains as described in the manufacturer’s service manual and observe the stated torque values when refitting.
• Compare the removed cylinder with the new 3185036180 assembly before installation.
• While the cylinder is out, inspect hoses, seals and fittings and replace anything showing wear.
• After fitting, bleed air from the circuit and run several no-load lift cycles, checking for smooth travel and leaks.
• Keep the cylinder rod clean and check it regularly for scoring or pitting to maximize service life.
