About Us – Forklift Engine Parts
Forklift Engine Parts was created by engine builders to solve a problem we builders have faced for decades. We needed a steady supply of high-quality parts that could meet our strict quality control standards. Since 2012, Pioneer Engine, Co. has exclusively used parts sourced from Forklift Engine Parts for our builds and rebuilds.
We have imported parts from various suppliers around the world in order to correct problems that have been discovered from cheaper suppliers. We continue to attend various trade shows around the world. After 6 years of field-testing we are confident that we have the highest-quality after-market engine parts on forkliftengineparts.com. We have invested in what we believe are some of the more popular forklift engines today.
Today we carry 25 forklift engine kits plus individual parts of the best quality available in the USA. We constantly seek to improve our product offerings with the knowledge and experience that we have gained through building 600 forklift truck engines a year.
“If you do not think these are the best aftermarket forklift parts you have recently purchased, you can return them for a full refund. Give us a try, you will not be disappointed.”
Exceptional Quality Built on Real-World Testing
At Forklift Engine Parts, quality isn’t just a promise—it’s proven through over a decade of rigorous field testing. Since 2012, every component we offer has undergone extensive real-world validation in the demanding environment of our sister company, Pioneer Engine Co. When you purchase a rebuild kit, cylinder head, or any component from our catalog, you’re getting parts that have been tested in over 600 forklift engine builds annually.
Our cylinder heads exemplify this commitment to excellence. Each head is precision-machined to exact specifications and pressure-tested before it leaves our facility. Whether you need a bare cylinder head for custom builds or a complete assembly with valves and springs pre-installed, every unit meets the exacting standards we’ve developed over five decades of engine building experience.
We’ve invested years in sourcing and testing forklift engine parts from suppliers worldwide, constantly refining our selection to eliminate the quality issues that plague cheaper alternatives. Our rebuild kits for popular engines—including Nissan K21, K25, H20, and H25 models, Mazda FE and F2, Toyota 4Y, Mitsubishi 4G54, 4G63, and 4G64, GM 3.0 and 4.3, Ford 4.9, Caterpillar 1404, Daewoo 2.7, and Peugeot XN1P—have gained our trust. We hope you’ll give them a try.
Our History
Originally located in a small shop in Trevose, PA, Pioneer Engine Company was founded in 1970 by Richard Ervin Sr. and has been growing ever since. As a teen, Rick Ervin Jr. became interested in his father’s business. He learned how to remanufacture industrial engines at his father’s side and then joined the company in 1975.
As word of their outstanding work spread, the company continued to grow. In 1978 they relocated the plant to a bigger facility in Warrington, PA off a major truck route running between Philadelphia and Easton.
By 2001 Pioneer Engine Company outgrew that location and moved to their current location in Warminster, PA. In 2013 we expanded our facility to 15,000 square feet. This expanded state of the art facility now includes warehousing space which allowed us to add new equipment to our remanufacturing floor and stock more cores and finished product.
