When equipment is standing still, the priority is rarely a complicated sales process. You need someone who understands what you are looking at, can help identify what is required and will work quickly to get things moving again. That is the approach behind our industrial spare parts in Stretford business. Traction Power Spares LTD has supported material handling, battery-powered vehicle and commercial operators for more than four decades, combining technical knowledge with straightforward customer service from our Manchester base.
We cross-reference every part against your truck spec to avoid wrong-part returns.
Downtime costs money. Same-day dispatch on stocked items wherever possible.
Most of our customers have used us for years. We don't take that for granted.
Traction Power Spares LTD has been operating since the late 1980s. Over that time, the technology used across material handling and battery-powered vehicles has changed considerably, but the problem our customers need us to solve has remained remarkably consistent: identify the right item, supply it accurately and avoid unnecessary disruption.
Our slogan, “Any part, any truck”, reflects that problem-solving mindset. Give us the information you have, even when it is limited, and we will use our knowledge and sourcing experience to help establish the correct specification wherever possible.
We have never wanted Traction Power Spares LTD to become an anonymous online catalogue.
A large part of our value is knowing how to interpret what customers send us. That might be an old reference, a photograph, measurements, a vehicle specification or an existing item that needs matching. Our team cross-references requirements against the available truck information to reduce the risk of incorrect supply and avoid the wasted time associated with unnecessary returns.
This technical approach is particularly important across electrical and traction systems, where seemingly similar items can have different ratings, connections or applications.
Our customer base is deliberately broad because the systems we understand appear in far more than conventional warehouse equipment.
We support businesses operating in material handling, haulage, airports, municipal waste, marine environments and fairgrounds, alongside organisations running other battery-powered commercial vehicles.
That means our customers can include fleet managers, workshop supervisors, engineers, maintenance teams, purchasing departments and operations directors.
What connects them is not a particular company size. It is the need to keep working equipment available and to have a knowledgeable supplier they can call when identification is not straightforward.
For customers who need a broader sourcing route rather than a specific category, our Forklift Spare Parts Supply page explains how we support more general requirements.
Our day-to-day work covers a mixture of electrical, power, mechanical and safety-related requirements.
Customers regularly approach us for Albright contactors, cables, battery connectors, traction batteries, LPG spares, wheels, beacons, reverse alarms, motor brushes, switches, fuses and lighting. The wider business information also records chains and forks within the broader supply range.
Rather than turning this page into another catalogue, the easiest way to explore those ranges is through our main Products Page, where individual categories lead into more detailed information.
You can also go directly to our specialist pages for Albright Contactors, Cables, Battery Connectors, LPG Spares, Wheels and Batteries.
A specification sheet can tell you what an item is supposed to be. Experience helps when the label is worn away, the truck is older, the reference has changed or the customer only has a photograph and a few measurements.
That is where more than 40 years in the sector becomes useful rather than simply impressive.
We use that experience to ask better questions, narrow down possibilities and help customers reach a more informed decision.
Traction Power Spares LTD was established in the late 1980s and developed around the supply of specialist items for material handling and battery-powered vehicles.
Over the following decades, the business developed deep knowledge across electrical systems, contactors, power connections, traction equipment and related maintenance requirements.
Nicola joined Traction Power Spares LTD in 2008, building extensive first-hand knowledge of the company, its customers and the industries it serves.
Following the retirement of the previous director, Nicola moved into the lead director role and has been overseeing the company’s next stage, including the modernisation of its online presence while retaining the technical, relationship-led approach on which the business was built. Derek also joined in 2025, and he has over 30 years of knowledge and expertise in the Material handling sector.
The technology may move on, but our focus remains familiar: know the subject, answer the phone, help the customer and get the requirement right.
Traction Power Spares LTD remains a people-led business rather than a faceless ordering platform.
Nicola has been with the company since 2008 and now leads the business following the previous director’s retirement. Her experience spans both the established way Traction Power Spares has served customers and the company’s current push to modernise how people find and interact with us online.
The wider team’s specialist expertise is centred on understanding the equipment, identifying requirements and helping commercial customers make informed sourcing decisions.
Our character comes from being both specialist and approachable.
We are technically led because accuracy matters. We are family-spirited because lasting business relationships matter too. And we are proud to operate from Stretford, where we remain close to Trafford Park and the wider commercial and manufacturing network of Greater Manchester.
Our local SEO strategy reflects the real areas around our base, including Stretford, Trafford Park, Salford, Eccles, Sale and Chorlton, while the business also supplies customers elsewhere in the UK.
For local customers, that creates a direct relationship with an established Manchester supplier. For customers further afield, it means access to the same technical knowledge without needing to be nearby.
Traction Power Spares LTD has grown by staying useful to the people who rely on us. We combine the experience built since the late 1980s with technical problem-solving, straightforward customer service and a genuine understanding of what downtime means for commercial operators.
Whether you have an exact reference or only a starting point, speak to our Stretford team. We will use the information available to help you establish the most appropriate next step and make sourcing as straightforward as possible.
