Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment uses the 13960 grease fitting?
A: This grease fitting is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Verify that your jack has a grease point matching this fitting type before ordering. It fits standard manual pump and lever-action jacks.
Q: What is the thread size and material of the 13960?
A: The 13960 is a standard metric grease fitting with steel construction. Confirm your equipment has a matching grease point diameter before installation. It accepts standard multi-purpose lithium grease.
Q: How often should I service the grease fitting on my pallet jack?
A: Heavy-use manual jacks typically need greasing every 6 to 12 months. Light-duty or seasonal equipment may require less frequent service. Check your jacks pivot points and load wheels annually for dry or rough operation, which signals that greasing is overdue.
Q: Can I use any grease type with this fitting?
A: Multi-purpose lithium grease is the standard for manual pallet jack fittings like the 13960. Do not use extreme pressure or synthetic greases unless your equipment documentation specifies them. Using incorrect grease can damage seals and shorten bearing life.
Q: Is the 13960 corrosion resistant?
A: The 13960 is zinc-plated steel, which provides standard corrosion resistance for warehouse and indoor use. For cold storage or outdoor operations, verify that your grease is rated for those environments. High-moisture areas may require more frequent inspection.
