Product Description
HY 2111838 Control Head fits Hyster W 40Z (B218) and 45Z (C215) pallet trucks. This is a new aftermarket replacement for the lower control head assembly (tiller head) used on these Hyster walkie electric pallet jack models. It serves as the primary operator interface, housing the throttle lever, lift/lower switches, horn button, and the safety reverse “belly” switch on the handle.
The assembly includes the main lower housing with integrated handle grips, designed to mount onto the existing tiller arm and accommodate the original control switches and wiring harness (not included). It is built to OEM specifications for proper fit and reliable performance, directly replacing Hyster OEM part number 2111838 on the specified pallet truck models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What role does the control head play in pallet trucks?
A: The control head houses the electronic and physical interfaces used by the operator to control the movement, direction, and function of the electric pallet truck. It ensures precise operator commands are transmitted to the drive and lift mechanisms.
