Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of washer 851427 in forklift assemblies?
A: Washer 851427 is a load-bearing or adjustment washer used in forklift axle, wheel, or bearing assemblies to control lateral play, distribute loads, and maintain proper spacing between components. The exact function depends on its location in the assembly. Verify the application in your equipment manual or original parts diagram.
Q: What are the dimensions and material of washer 851427?
A: Forklift washers are typically made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or hardened steel depending on load and corrosion requirements. Specifications include inner bore diameter, outer diameter, and thickness. Confirm the exact dimensions, material grade, and load rating for part 851427 by consulting the parts diagram or specification sheet for your forklift model.
Q: What forklift models use washer 851427?
A: Washer 851427 is designed for specific forklift models from manufacturers such as Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Verify compatibility by cross-referencing your forklift model, serial number, and the original washer part number. Using an incorrect washer can cause improper bearing preload, wheel misalignment, or assembly failure.
Q: How do I know if washer 851427 needs replacement?
A: Washers wear or deform under heavy load, causing increased lateral play in wheel or axle assemblies, uneven tire wear, or steering problems. If play develops in a wheel assembly or bearing feels loose after proper torque is applied, the washer may be worn and should be replaced along with any other damaged components in that assembly.
Q: Is washer 851427 a standard size, or is it specific to certain equipment?
A: Washer 851427 is an OEM part designed for specific forklift models and assemblies. Washers vary by bore size, outer diameter, thickness, and material to suit different load and mounting requirements. Do not substitute with generic washers; use only the specified part number to ensure proper fit, load capacity, and assembly alignment.
