Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 217189 seal kit contain?
A: The 217189 is a seal kit designed for material handling equipment. The exact seals and gaskets included depend on the specific component (hydraulic cylinder, pump, valve, or motor) for which it is intended. Contact us directly with your equipment model and serial number to confirm the exact seal contents and fitment.
Q: Which lift truck models use the 217189 seal kit?
A: The 217189 seal kit is compatible with select electric and manual lift truck models from major OEM brands. To verify compatibility with your specific equipment, provide the equipment model number, serial number, and the component type (hydraulic cylinder, pump, or valve) that requires sealing. We will confirm fitment before you order.
Q: What material are the seals in the 217189 kit made from?
A: The 217189 seal kit contains rubber, elastomer, and polymer seals designed to withstand hydraulic fluid exposure and typical operating pressures in material handling equipment. Seal material composition ensures compatibility with standard mineral-based hydraulic fluids. Always use seals rated for the fluid type in your equipment.
Q: When should the 217189 seal kit be replaced?
A: Replace the 217189 seal kit when you experience visible hydraulic leaks, loss of hydraulic pressure, erratic lift truck operation, or difficulty raising or lowering loads. Seal degradation typically occurs after 2000 to 5000 operating hours depending on duty cycle, environmental conditions, and fluid maintenance. Inspect seals annually for wear or hardening.
Q: Will the 217189 seal kit work in both cold storage and warm environments?
A: The 217189 seal kit is designed for typical warehouse and material handling environments. Elastomer seals may lose flexibility in extreme cold (below 0 degrees F) or harden in sustained high heat (above 140 degrees F). If your equipment operates in cold storage or extreme temperature conditions, notify us so we can recommend appropriate seal materials for your environment.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the 217189 seal kit?
A: The 217189 is a direct replacement seal kit for compatible lift truck components. Cross-reference part numbers vary by equipment OEM and application. Provide your equipment model, component type, and the failed or removed seal kit part number, and we will identify compatible alternatives if available.
