Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What fork lift models use the 4941622 spring?
A: The 4941622 spring is used in load wheel assemblies and lift mechanisms on Yale, Hyster, and Raymond fork lifts. Verify your equipment model and year to confirm compatibility, as multiple spring rates exist across model lines.
Q: What material and load rating does the 4941622 spring have?
A: The 4941622 is a compression spring manufactured from high-carbon steel with a specified load rate measured in pounds per inch of deflection. The spring is rated for the specific lift capacity class of your equipment model.
Q: How do I know if a spring needs replacement?
A: Springs fail through loss of tension or permanent deformation, causing uneven load distribution, noise during operation, reduced lifting height, or failure to return to neutral position. If the load wheel does not retract fully or the truck tilts sideways, inspect springs for cracks or permanent bend.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the 4941622 spring?
A: A well-maintained spring typically operates for 5 to 7 years before loss of tension or fatigue cracking occurs. Lifespan depends on load cycling frequency, proper maintenance of related components, and storage conditions.
Q: Are replacement springs interchangeable across fork lift brands?
A: No. Spring load rates and dimensions are equipment-specific. The 4941622 fits specific Yale, Hyster, and Raymond models. Using an incorrect spring rate causes improper load handling and safety risks. Confirm part number match with your equipment specifications.
