Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 312711 bearing assembly used for?
A: The 312711 is a bearing assembly component designed for forklift and electric lift truck drive systems, steer axles, or load-handling mechanisms. Verify bearing location (wheel spindle, mast assembly, or drive unit) from your equipment OEM documentation.
Q: Which equipment brands are compatible with the 312711 bearing?
A: The 312711 is compatible with forklifts and electric lift trucks from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Cross-reference OEM parts lists for your specific model.
Q: What dimensions should I verify for the 312711 bearing?
A: Measure the bore diameter, outer diameter, and width of the existing bearing or consult your equipment schematic. Contact us with your model number and bearing location so we can confirm dimensions before you order.
Q: How long does a bearing assembly typically last in material handling equipment?
A: Bearing life depends on load capacity, operating hours, maintenance intervals, and environmental conditions. In normal material handling use, quality bearings last 3 to 7 years. Inadequate lubrication, contamination, or overload shortens life significantly.
Q: What are signs a bearing assembly needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing if you observe grinding noise, play or wobble in the wheel or axle, excessive heat, or visible damage to the bearing races or rollers. Worn bearings reduce handling precision and increase tire wear.
