Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What forklift and material handling equipment uses SKU 220023434 grease fitting?
A: SKU 220023434 is a grease fitting used on forklifts and material handling equipment made by Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Hyster, and CAT. Grease fittings are installed on mast pins, load wheels, and steering components. Verify the fitting thread size and type (zerk or grease nipple) match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What are the specifications of SKU 220023434 grease fitting?
A: SKU 220023434 is a standard grease fitting (zerk nipple) with a threaded steel body. Common thread sizes are 1/4-inch NPT or 1/8-inch NPT. The fitting allows a grease gun to inject lubricant into sealed bearing points. Check your equipment manual to confirm the correct thread size and fitting type.
Q: How often should SKU 220023434 grease fitting be used to lubricate equipment?
A: Grease points on forklifts should be lubricated every 50 operating hours or weekly in normal use. Heavy use or outdoor operation may require more frequent greasing, every 25 to 50 hours. Use the SKU 220023434 fitting to inject grease until it appears at the bearing seal. Overgreasing causes leaks and attracts dirt.
Q: What material is SKU 220023434 made from and how long does it last?
A: SKU 220023434 is a steel zerk fitting with a spring-loaded ball check valve. Steel construction resists corrosion from grease and water exposure. The fitting typically lasts 5 to 10 years in normal use. It fails if the valve becomes clogged, stuck, or threads strip. Replace if grease cannot be injected or grease leaks around the fitting.
Q: How do you know if SKU 220023434 grease fitting needs replacement?
A: Replace SKU 220023434 if grease gun cannot inject lubricant (valve stuck or clogged), if grease leaks around the fitting threads, or if the fitting is loose or missing. Stripped threads on the equipment require helicoil repair. A plugged fitting results in dry bearings that fail prematurely.
