Q: What material and spring rate does this spring have?
A: SKU 7004029 is manufactured from tempered alloy steel with a specific spring constant (rate) measured in pounds per inch of compression. Spring rate and free length are critical specifications; verify dimensions match your equipment to ensure proper valve function or assembly fit.
Q: Which forklift brands use this spring?
A: SKU 7004029 is compatible with forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Springs are often used in similar hydraulic circuits across different brands. Always confirm dimensions and application before ordering.
Q: How do you know when a spring needs replacement?
A: Replace springs if they show loss of tension, visible deformation, rust or corrosion, or reduced spring rate. Test by comparing the spring length under load to the specification. A weak or broken spring will cause loss of function in mast circuits, steering, or load-holding valves.
