Send a photo of your old plate and we will make a match.

Short answer: Browels makes replacement data plates for forklifts, skid steers and scissor lifts in stainless steel or anodized aluminum. Each plate is cut to size with rounded corners and punched holes, and there is no minimum order. Send a photo of your old plate to get a quote.

A missing or unreadable data plate causes real problems. Operators need the capacity, model and serial number on the machine. Inspectors, insurers and buyers expect to see them. Dealers need them for parts and warranty.

Browels, a Canadian manufacturer in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, makes replacement data plates for forklifts, skid steers and scissor lifts, and we sell the material blanks and profiles if you prefer to mark your own.

Choose your material

  • Stainless steel for outdoor service, washdown and rough duty.
  • Anodized aluminum, .040 in (1.0 mm) or .032 in (0.8 mm) thick, for a clean laser marked plate.

Cut to size and ready to mount

Every plate and blank is cut to size, corners rounded and holes punched. There is nothing to trim and nothing to drill. Fasten it to the machine and you are done.

No minimum order

One plate for one machine is a normal order. Rental fleets can replace plates across the yard. Dealers, rebuilders and repair shops can order blanks and profiles to mark in house.

What to send us

Send a photo of the old plate, or the size you need and the information that has to appear on it: model, serial number, capacity and any ratings or warnings. We match the layout to your machine.
