Product Number: 18171N
The WAI 18171N is a brand-new 12V 2.7kW starter motor. It is built to Mitsubishi OSGR design, supplied as a direct replacement for original-equipment units referenced under Mitsubishi M2T54572, M002T54571, M002T54572, and M2T54571, as well as cross-referenced numbers from Denso, Delco Remy, Mazda, Hyster, and Yale — 32 OE references in total. It is confirmed to fit Hyster, Yale, and Sumitomo Yale lift truck models, covering applications from 1982 through to 2002.
As an OSGR (Off-Set Gear Reduction) unit, the 18171N delivers its 2.7kW output through a gear-reduction stage that lowers motor speed and raises torque at the pinion — a design well-suited to the demanding cold-start and repeated-cycle conditions common in forklift and materials-handling environments. The 13-tooth pinion drives clockwise rotation, and the unit is manufactured by Mitsubishi, whose starter technology underpins a broad range of industrial and agricultural equipment.
Being brand new rather than remanufactured, this unit carries no prior wear, no core charge requirement, and no dependency on return of an old unit — it is ready to fit straight from the box.

A. Yes. The WAI 18171N directly replaces Mitsubishi M2T54572, along with Mitsubishi M002T54571, M002T54572, and M2T54571 — 4 Mitsubishi references in total are cross-referenced to this part. Mitsubishi carries the highest search demand of any OE brand on this part. If you are matching by a different Mitsubishi number, search our catalogue by OEM number or ask Simon to confirm.
A. In addition to the Mitsubishi references, the 18171N is cross-referenced against 32 OE numbers in total, including Denso 2809022, Delco Remy DRS0105, Mazda 4840-18-400, Mazda 4840-18-400A, Mazda 4840-18-400B, Hyster 2021166, Hyster 3068346, Sando 60351120, AD Kuhner 201011, and YALE 1500225-14, among others. Search our catalogue by any of these numbers to verify the match for your application.
A. The WAI 18171N is a 12V, 2.7kW unit using an OSGR (Off-Set Gear Reduction) design, manufactured by Mitsubishi. It has a 13-tooth pinion and clockwise (CW) rotation. It is supplied brand new — not remanufactured — so there is no core charge and no old-unit return required.
A. OSGR stands for Off-Set Gear Reduction. Rather than driving the pinion directly from the motor armature, an intermediate gear set reduces speed and multiplies torque at the point of engagement. This makes OSGR starters particularly well-suited to the high-compression engines and repeated-cycling duty cycles common in forklift and industrial materials-handling applications — conditions where direct-drive units are more vulnerable to wear.
A. The WAI 18171N is brand new. It has not been remanufactured or reconditioned. There is no core charge, and you are not required to return a worn unit when ordering.
A. Use the selection widget to match your make, model and engine, or search our cross-referenced catalogue by OEM number, machine model or equivalent part across brands. If your vehicle is not listed, ask Simon. Every fitment shown is backed by our Fit Guarantee.
A. Yes. Every vehicle and OE cross-reference shown for this part is checked against manufacturer data and backed by our Fit Guarantee. If it is not right, our Fit Guarantee or hassle-free returns have you covered.
