Case 585C Rough Terrain Forklift: C-Series 5,000 lb Mid-Range RT Forklift
The Case 585C is a mid-range rough terrain forklift positioned between the 584C and 586C - built for reliable material handling on construction sites, in agricultural operations, and across warehouse yards. 5,000 lb lift capacity with refined mast hydraulics and the durable Case power-shuttle drivetrain.
Where the 585C fits in the Case forklift line
The 585C sits between the 584C and the 586C in the C-series rough terrain forklift range. It shares the D90752 steering motor valve cross-fit across the entire C/D-series 584 / 585 / 586 line, and uses the same Case power-shuttle architecture that defines the brand’s mid-range RT forklift family.

Engine, hydraulics, and drivetrain
The 585C runs a Case mechanical-injection diesel through a power-shuttle transmission and mechanical front and rear axles. Mast hydraulics are larger than the 584C, supporting longer fork extensions and slightly higher rated capacities in some configurations. The D90752 steering motor valve carries across the C/D-series RT forklifts and remains the canonical service part for steering hydraulics on this platform.
The power-shuttle transmission is a defining feature of the Case RT forklift line - forward / reverse modulation through a wet-clutch pack lets the operator shuttle the machine in and out of stacks without manual clutching. Maintained on schedule, the power-shuttle is one of the most durable transmissions in mid-range material handling.
Common service items on the 585C
- Engine internals: Case mechanical-injection diesel - pistons, rings, sleeves, head gaskets, bearings.
- Fuel system: Mechanical injection pump, injectors, lift pump, primary and secondary filters.
- Cooling system: Radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan, hoses, belts.
- Power shuttle / transmission: Power-shuttle clutch packs, forward / reverse modulation, transmission filters and oil.
- Steering hydraulics: C/D-series direct-fit D90752 steering motor valve - canonical service part for 584C/D, 585C/D, and 586C/D rough terrain forklifts.
- Mast hydraulics: Lift cylinder seal kits, tilt cylinder seal kits, chain tensioner, control valves, hoses.
- Mast components: Carriage rollers, lift chain inspection and replacement, fork carriage bushings, side-shift attachment service.
- Drivetrain: Front and rear axles, planetary final drives, driveshafts, differential service. The 175978A1 needle bearing 10-pack and K395075 thrust washer are cross-fit Case forklift / loader-backhoe drivetrain service parts.
- Brakes: A168790 parking brake disc cross-fits Case forklift / loader-backhoe / trencher applications - high-volume service item. Service brakes and brake hydraulics.
- Cab / operator station: Seat, joystick / lever controls, gauges, key switch, ROPS canopy or enclosed cab. 377594A5 cab air filter fits Case loader tractor / backhoe / forklift cabs.
- Electrical: Starter, alternator, wiring harness, gauges, switches.

Request a PartWhat to verify before ordering
- Serial number. Confirm the serial on the Case 585C before ordering year-specific parts.
- Engine serial. Internal engine parts must match the engine serial number.
- Mast configuration. Lift height, carriage width, fork length, and side-shift options vary - confirm mast spec before ordering carriage, chain, or cylinder parts.
- Two-wheel vs. four-wheel drive. Some Case RT forklifts are available in 2WD and 4WD configurations - drivetrain parts differ.
- Steering motor lines. D90752 steering valve service must follow port connection instructions - incorrect line routing causes immediate steering damage.
- Power-shuttle generation. Power-shuttle transmissions saw revisions - confirm by serial before ordering clutch-pack components.
Why the 585C still earns a paycheck
The 585C is the C-series mid-range RT forklift, sitting between the entry-level 584C and the larger 586C. Construction sites, agricultural operations, and warehouse yards that need a step up from the 584C without the heavier 586C chassis still find the 585C right-sized for daily material handling.
Maintenance priorities on a 585C: clean fuel, power-shuttle oil quality, mast chain and lift cylinder service, D90752 steering motor service (follow port connection instructions), and brake service using the A168790 cross-fit parking brake disc. Broken Tractor maintains parts coverage across the C/D-series RT forklift line.
