Parker's PGP500 family — aluminum bushing-block gear pumps with a two-piece cast design — is built specifically for cost-sensitive, high-power-density applications where forklifts sit alongside agriculture and turf equipment as named target markets. Compared to Parker's heavier cast-iron 300/600 series used in construction equipment, the PGP505/511 is lighter and more compact, matched to a forklift's typical mast lift and tilt demands.

FAQs
Is Parker the OEM pump on my forklift, or would it be an aftermarket substitute?
It depends on your forklift brand — some manufacturers fit Parker PGP-series pumps as original equipment, while on others it's a well-matched aftermarket alternative. Check your current pump's nameplate; if it already says Parker, you have a genuine-spec replacement option. If not, we'll confirm whether a PGP unit is a suitable substitute for your machine.
What's the difference between the PGP500 series and Parker's other gear pump lines?
The PGP500 (aluminum, bushing-block design) is built for lighter-duty, cost-sensitive applications like forklifts, turf, and agriculture. Parker's PGP300/600 series (cast iron, heavier duty) targets construction equipment like tippers and dozers. Using the correct series matters for both fit and expected service life.
Can you supply for a mixed-brand forklift fleet?
Yes — one advantage of standardising on Parker PGP pumps is that a single pump family can often serve multiple forklift brands in your fleet, simplifying spares inventory. WhatsApp us your fleet list and we'll map out compatibility.
