Heavy-Duty Thrust Bearings for Forklifts and Industrial Trucks
If you've ever dealt with a forklift that doesn't quite move the way it should—jerky lifts, sluggish turns, or uneven wear—you already know how vital thrust bearings are. These small but mighty components take on the brunt of the axial loads, ensuring smooth movement, reducing friction, and preventing costly wear on your lift trucks and industrial vehicles. Without them, your machines work harder than they should, and that means more repairs, higher costs, and unnecessary headaches.
At Helmar Parts, we stock thrust bearings for industry-leading brands like Hyster, Hyundai, Kalmar AC, Komatsu, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar, Moffett, Nissan, TCM, and Toyota Forklift Parts. Whether you’re running a warehouse, managing a construction fleet, or overseeing a heavy-duty material handling operation, these parts keep your equipment performing at its best—no surprises, no downtime.
Picking the Right Thrust Bearings Matters More Than You Think
You wouldn’t put the wrong size tires on your truck, so why take chances with the bearings in your forklift? The right thrust bearings don’t just fit—they improve efficiency, reduce strain on your equipment, and help you get more done with less maintenance. The wrong ones? They wear out faster, lead to overheating, and can bring operations to a grinding halt. Not exactly what you want when you’re on a tight schedule.
We make sure our bearings are built to spec for various forklift models, so you don’t have to guess or hope for the best. With precision engineering and high load capacity, our parts deliver long-term reliability. Need help figuring out what’s best for your fleet? We’ve got you covered.

Reduce Friction, Increase Performance, Minimize Repairs
Friction is the enemy of smooth operation. If your thrust bearings aren’t up to the job, every lift, tilt, and turn adds unnecessary resistance—slowing things down, heating things up, and wearing things out. In a fast-moving warehouse or construction site, that’s a recipe for frustration (and costly repairs).
The good news? High-quality bearings don’t just keep things moving; they actively reduce wear and tear on your entire system. Less friction means less energy wasted, fewer breakdowns, and a longer lifespan for your forklifts. That’s efficiency you can feel—and savings you can see on your maintenance budget.
Built for the Toughest Industrial Applications
We know forklifts and industrial trucks don’t operate in controlled, pristine environments. They’re out there in the real world—lifting, hauling, and grinding through long shifts, often in extreme conditions. That’s why our thrust bearings are built tough, using high-strength materials designed to handle constant pressure, frequent motion, and unpredictable loads.
Our bearings aren’t just durable; they’re precision-machined for a perfect fit, reducing vibrations and ensuring seamless integration with your equipment. Whether your fleet is running around the clock or handling oversized loads, our products won’t let you down.
Keeping Forklifts Running Longer with Quality Thrust Bearings
Let’s be real—forklifts aren’t cheap, and neither is downtime. When a single part failure can sideline an entire machine, choosing high-quality thrust bearings isn’t just about performance—it’s about protecting your investment. Our customers don’t have time for constant replacements and surprise breakdowns, and we don’t expect you to either.
By reducing stress on your forklift’s internal components, our bearings help prevent unexpected failures and keep your equipment running longer. That means fewer repairs, less time spent troubleshooting, and more time getting the job done. Sounds like a win-win, right?

Precision-Engineered Bearings Deliver Maximum Efficiency
Not all thrust bearings are created equal. Some are engineered with tight tolerances and premium materials, while others… well, let’s just say they don’t hold up as well. At Helmar Parts, we focus on precision. Why? Because a well-machined bearing means fewer breakdowns, smoother operation, and lower maintenance costs in the long run.
We know our customers want reliable parts, not just quick fixes. That’s why we stock bearings that meet industry standards and are designed for consistent performance, even under heavy loads. When you invest in quality, your fleet runs better—and your bottom line looks better too.

How the Right Thrust Bearings Save You Time and Money
Think of thrust bearings as the unsung heroes of your forklift fleet. You don’t notice them when they’re working, but when they fail? Everything grinds to a halt. That’s why it’s worth investing in the right parts upfront.
Reliable bearings help:
- Prevent costly breakdowns by reducing wear on key components.
- Improve fuel efficiency by cutting unnecessary friction.
- Extend the lifespan of your forklift by reducing mechanical stress.
- Lower maintenance costs by minimizing unexpected failures.
Many forklifts rely on small cylindrical rollers or washers within the bearing assembly to distribute axial forces evenly. These particular types of components support axial loads while also managing radial loads, making them essential for high speeds and heavy-duty lifting applications. The shape and composition of the bearing, including its ring and shaft interface, play a crucial role in ensuring low friction and durability over time.
