Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the application for the 800087842 spring in material handling equipment?
A: The 800087842 spring is a load-bearing component used in forklift tilt mechanisms, load wheels, or mast assemblies. It provides tension or compression force in lifting and tilting systems. Verify your forklift model and assembly location before ordering.
Q: What are the specifications for the 800087842 spring?
A: The 800087842 spring specifications include wire diameter, coil diameter, free length, and spring constant (k value). These determine load rating and deflection characteristics. Consult the technical datasheet or confirm with your equipment serial number for exact measurements.
Q: What material is the 800087842 spring made from?
A: The 800087842 spring is manufactured from high-carbon steel or alloy steel with proper hardening and tempering to resist fatigue. The material provides consistent spring force over thousands of compression-release cycles typical in material handling duty.
Q: How long does the 800087842 spring last before replacement is needed?
A: Spring life depends on load cycles, environmental conditions, and whether specifications are correctly matched to the application. Springs exposed to corrosive conditions, overloading, or improper preload may fatigue prematurely. If mast tilt feels weak or does not return smoothly, replacement is advisable.
Q: What forklifts use the 800087842 spring?
A: The 800087842 spring is compatible with forklift models from Crown, Toyota, Hyster, Raymond, and similar OEMs. Verify the exact assembly location and model year, as spring applications vary significantly across manufacturers and model generations.
