Whether you keep a Toyota forklift in your fleet or need a whole machine, the first fork in the road is budget: do you buy replacement parts for the truck you already have, or spend more on a complete used unit? The four options here show how different that answer can be. You can buy a small replacement component like a hood gas spring or a radiator, or you can buy a complete gas-powered lift truck. The price comparison table below puts the choices side by side.
Quick take: If you already own a compatible Toyota forklift and it runs, the lower-priced route is to replace components as they wear. If you don't yet have a forklift, the used 7FGU30 is the only complete unit in this group.

Product notes
Case of 6 Toyota Equipment Enamel New Orange Spray Paint 12 Oz
At $99.95, this case gives you six 12-ounce cans of orange enamel made for Toyota equipment, with cross reference 90900-U9024-71. If your forklift already runs well and you just need touch-up paint for bumpers, masts, or bodywork, this is the least mechanical item in the group. The limitation is its narrow scope: it addresses appearance and surface protection, not the ability to lift, steer, or stop. It also requires an existing Toyota forklift to be useful; paint alone doesn't add lift capacity or fix leaks.
Toyota Forklift Gas Spring LH 52260-13130-71 Replacement MRK Sales Part
At $56.97, this is the lowest listed price among the four items. The gas spring carries part number 52260-13130-71, a Toyota reference, and is described as a new MRK Sales replacement with a Japan country of origin. It is a left-hand spring, which makes it a direct match for the hood side it names. If your forklift's hood sags or won't stay up, this is a smaller spend than replacing the whole machine. The trade-off is that it addresses only that spring; the rest of the lift truck still needs to be in working shape.
Radiator for Toyota Forklift 7FDAU50 7FDKU40 7FDU35 7FDU45
At $159.00, this radiator is built for a specific set of Toyota 7FD/7FDU/7FDK forklift models, including the 7FDAU50, 7FDKU40, 7FDU35, and 7FDU45. The description cites a three-row tube core with an 18-inch core length, 17 5/7-inch core height, and a transmission oil cooler, which makes it a targeted cooling solution if you need to replace a failing radiator on one of those machines. The limitation is fit: it is not a universal radiator. You have to match it to the exact model family named, and the fitting instructions are listed as No.
Toyota 7FGU30 Forklift For Sale
At $15,000.00, this used Toyota 7FGU30 is the only complete forklift available among the four. Its specifications include a 6,000 lb lift capacity, 187-inch lift height, solid pneumatic tires, gas power, and 6,040 hours. If you need to move pallets now and don't have a machine, this is the option that can do that without needing other parts. The limitation is the commitment: it is a used unit with a five-figure price, so the budget outlay is far larger than any of the components above, and you are buying a whole asset rather than a single repair.
Final recommendation by use case
If you need one part to keep a Toyota 7FD-family forklift from overheating, the radiator matches that narrow range. If your priority is the smallest mechanical spend and the hood spring has given out, the gas spring is the lowest-cost point of entry here. For cosmetic upkeep on orange Toyota equipment, the six-can paint case gives you a dedicated enamel. And if you need a working gas forklift rather than a component, the used 7FGU30 is the only complete machine in this set.
