Q: What type of grease should be used with the 5775114 fitting?
A: Use high-pressure bearing grease or multipurpose industrial grease rated for forklift wheel and pivot applications. Consult your equipment maintenance manual for the specific grease type and viscosity grade. Do not mix different grease types, as incompatible formulations can reduce bearing performance.

A: Lubrication intervals depend on operating hours, warehouse conditions, and equipment design. Typical forklift bearing maintenance requires relubrication every 50 to 200 operating hours or per your equipment manual. More frequent lubrication may be needed in wet, dusty, or high-temperature environments.
