Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which fork lift models use bearing assembly 442-215?
A: The 442-215 bearing assembly is used in fork lift trucks manufactured by Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Hyster, and other OEM suppliers. It functions as a wheel bearing component supporting load and steering functions. Verify your specific machine model and serial number for accurate fitment.
Q: What is the bore diameter and load rating of the 442-215?
A: Specific bore diameter, outside diameter, and dynamic load rating depend on the fork lift model and application. Contact our team with your equipment details to confirm exact bearing dimensions and load specifications before ordering.
Q: What materials are used in the 442-215 bearing assembly?
A: The 442-215 uses hardened steel races and precision-grade ball or roller elements sealed with metal or rubber shields. This construction provides corrosion resistance and durability for heavy-duty fork lift environments including outdoor storage yards.
Q: How do I know if the 442-215 bearing needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing assembly if you observe noise during wheel rotation, visible damage to the bearing seals, metal debris around the wheel, or lateral play that cannot be corrected by axle adjustment. A failed bearing creates unsafe operating conditions and can damage wheel studs or brake components.
Q: Does the 442-215 require lubrication?
A: The 442-215 is a sealed bearing assembly with grease pre-filled at manufacture. Sealed bearings do not require periodic re-lubrication and maintenance is minimal. Do not attempt to add grease to sealed bearings as this can cause overheating and premature failure.
