Grease fitting
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the application for the 800014508 grease fitting?
A: This grease fitting is used on forklift mast assemblies, scissor mechanisms, and hydraulic cylinders to accept periodic lubrication. It provides a connection point for grease injection in wear-prone joints to reduce friction and extend component lifespan.
Q: What thread size and connection type does this grease fitting use?
A: Verify the thread pitch and connection type by comparing with your equipment manufacturer documentation. Most standard forklift grease fittings use metric threads ranging from M6 to M10. Confirm the exact specification before ordering to ensure compatibility with your existing ports.
Q: Is the 800014508 grease fitting compatible across different forklift brands?
A: This fitting is compatible with multiple forklift brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Clark models. Verify the thread size and connection type match your specific equipment before installation.
Q: How frequently should the 800014508 grease fitting be serviced?
A: Consult your equipment operator manual for the recommended lubrication interval. Most industrial forklifts require greasing at specified service intervals depending on usage intensity. More frequent lubrication is needed in high-cycle environments or when operating in dusty conditions.
Q: What happens if this grease fitting becomes damaged or clogged?
A: A damaged or clogged fitting prevents proper lubrication, which accelerates wear on mast pivots, cylinders, and linkage bearings. This can result in squeaking, stiff operation, and premature component failure. Replace the fitting immediately if it does not accept grease under normal pressure or if the fitting body is cracked.
