Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a retaining ring and what does it do on a forklift?
A: A retaining ring is a precision fastener that holds components in place on a shaft or in a bore. On forklifts, retaining rings are commonly used in hydraulic cylinders, lift masts, and load wheel assemblies to secure bearings, seals, and other critical parts. SKU 136858 is designed for standard lifting and load-handling equipment across Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar OEMs.
Q: What material is SKU 136858 made from and how durable is it?
A: Retaining ring 136858 is manufactured from spring steel with a zinc-plated or phosphate finish for corrosion resistance. This material withstands repeated compression and expansion cycles common in hydraulic and mechanical assemblies. The ring retains its shape and holding force through thousands of load cycles under normal forklift operating conditions.
Q: Which forklift models and brands does retaining ring 136858 fit?
A: SKU 136858 is compatible with multiple hydraulic and mechanical lift systems used in electric pallet jacks and forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other standard manufacturers. Verify the bore diameter and shaft size match your equipment before ordering.
Q: How often does a retaining ring need to be replaced?
A: Retaining rings typically do not wear out and can last the lifetime of the equipment when properly installed. Replacement is only needed if the ring becomes bent, damaged, or loses its holding tension due to physical impact or deformation. Regular inspection for damage is recommended during routine equipment maintenance.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for SKU 136858?
A: Cross-reference information for SKU 136858 varies by equipment manufacturer and model. The exact OEM equivalent depends on your forklift brand and year. Verify the retaining ring diameter, thickness, and application with your equipment documentation to ensure proper fitment.
