Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What forklift equipment uses the 17513 axle?
A: SKU 17513 is a replacement axle for forklift applications. This part is compatible with lift truck platforms from brands including Hyster, Yale, Toyota, Crown, Mitsubishi, CAT, BT, Clark, Jungheinrich, and Linde. Verify your equipment model and axle specifications match before ordering.
Q: Can the 17513 axle be used on pallet jacks instead of forklifts?
A: The 17513 is specified for forklift applications. Although axles may appear similar, dimensions, material grades, and load ratings differ between forklift and pallet jack designs. Use only the correct part number for your equipment type.
Q: What load capacity does the 17513 axle support?
A: Load capacity depends on axle diameter, bearing size, material grade, and OEM design specifications. Refer to your forklift manual for rated capacity. Using undersized replacement parts risks bearing failure and safety hazards. Verify the 17513 meets your equipment load requirements.
Q: Does the 17513 work with different wheel sizes?
A: The 17513 axle diameter and bearing bore must match your existing wheels and hub assemblies. Changing wheel sizes requires confirming that axle length and mounting flanges remain compatible. Do not mix undersized or oversized wheels on a standard axle.
Q: What is the typical service life of the 17513 forklift axle?
A: With regular maintenance and standard duty cycles, forklift axles typically last 4 to 8 years. Heavy-duty or continuous-operation forklifts may require earlier replacement. Inspect regularly for cracks, bending, or corrosion. High-wear environments or frequent impact loads shorten service life.
