Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 00591-09405-81 and what equipment does it lubricate?
A: The 00591-09405-81 is a Toyota OEM multi-purpose amber lithium grease supplied in a 14 oz cartridge. It is formulated for lubrication of chassis components, wheel bearings, and steering linkages on Toyota electric lift trucks. The lithium soap base provides excellent water resistance and long-term adhesion to moving parts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the 00591-09405-81 grease?
A: The 00591-09405-81 operates from -20 degrees Celsius to +120 degrees Celsius. This wide temperature range makes it suitable for warehouses with climate control as well as outdoor cold storage facilities. Grade 2 consistency ensures the grease flows at low temperatures and maintains stability at high ambient temperatures.

Q: Is the 00591-09405-81 compatible with other lift truck brands or just Toyota?
A: The 00591-09405-81 is a Toyota OEM product formulated to Toyota specifications. While the grease may be compatible with some Crown, Raymond, or Yale electric lift trucks, we recommend confirming compatibility with your equipment manual or contacting us. Do not assume compatibility without verification, as mixing greases can cause bearing degradation.

Q: How often should I apply the 00591-09405-81 to my lift truck?
A: Lubrication frequency depends on usage hours and operating conditions. High-use trucks in cold storage require grease application every 250 to 500 operating hours. Standard warehouse trucks typically need maintenance every 1000 hours. Check your vehicle maintenance schedule or contact us with your truck model and usage pattern for specific recommendations.

Q: What corrosion protection does the 00591-09405-81 provide?
A: The 00591-09405-81 includes corrosion inhibitors that protect steel and cast iron bearing surfaces from rust and oxidation. The amber color indicates the presence of these rust-preventive additives. This protection is especially important for equipment used in cold storage or outdoor environments where moisture exposure is high.

Q: How do I apply the 00591-09405-81 from the 14 oz cartridge?
A: The cartridge is designed for use with a standard grease gun. Load the cartridge into the gun, position the nozzle on the bearing or chassis lubrication point, and pump until fresh grease appears. Wipe excess grease from the area to prevent dirt accumulation. Do not overfill, as excess grease can attract contaminants and reduce bearing life.
