Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What specifications does the 3-13408 bearing assembly have?
A: The 3-13408 is a single shield bearing assembly designed for manual pallet jacks. Key specifications include bore diameter, outer diameter, and load rating. Verify these dimensions match your original bearing before ordering. Contact us with your equipment model or current bearing measurements for exact fitment confirmation.
Q: What manual pallet jack models is the 3-13408 compatible with?
A: The 3-13408 bearing assembly fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Clark, and other OEM manufacturers, provided bore and outer diameter match your equipment. Universal fitment is possible across brands when dimensions align. Always confirm compatibility before purchase.
Q: What does single shield mean on the 3-13408 bearing?
A: Single shield design includes one protective cover (metal or synthetic) positioned to defend the bearing race from water, dirt, and debris on one side. The opposite side remains open to interface with the load wheel axle. This design provides moderate contamination protection while maintaining efficient load transfer.
Q: How long can I expect the 3-13408 to last in service?
A: Under typical warehouse conditions with regular maintenance, single shield bearing assemblies perform for 2-4 years. Extended operation is possible in dry environments. Wet, cold, or high-cycle environments reduce lifespan to 1-2 years. Replace the bearing if load wheel rotation becomes rough or noisy.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the 3-13408?
A: The 3-13408 is an OEM-equivalent bearing assembly with cross-references across multiple manual pallet jack manufacturers. Exact equivalent numbers depend on your equipment brand and model. Provide your original bearing part number or equipment details for direct cross-reference confirmation.
Q: What maintenance is needed for the 3-13408 bearing assembly?
A: Regularly inspect the open side of the bearing for accumulated dirt or debris and gently wipe clean. Monitor the load wheel for smooth rotation and listen for squeaking or grinding noises. Do not attempt to clean inside the bearing with water or solvents. Replace the assembly if rotation becomes difficult or uneven.
