Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SKU 973473 bearing assembly and what equipment does it fit?
A: The 973473 is a bearing assembly designed for manual pallet jacks from major OEM manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar models. This bearing assembly is engineered to support the load wheels and mast operations on standard manual pump-handle pallet trucks. Verify your equipment model and serial range against the bearing assembly dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What are the specifications and material composition of the 973473 bearing assembly?
A: The 973473 bearing assembly contains precision-grade ball or roller bearings mounted in a steel or cast iron race housing. The exact internal diameter, external diameter, and width depend on your specific equipment model. Contact us with your equipment serial number for complete dimension and material specifications to confirm compatibility.
Q: How long does the 973473 bearing assembly typically last in operation?
A: Bearing lifespan depends on load cycle frequency, maintenance, and operating environment. Under normal warehouse conditions with regular lubrication, the 973473 bearing assembly typically provides 2 to 5 years of service. High-intensity environments or insufficient lubrication can reduce lifespan. Bearings should be replaced if you notice grinding noise, lateral play in the wheel, or visible corrosion in the race.
Q: What maintenance does the 973473 bearing assembly require?
A: The 973473 bearing assembly requires periodic lubrication with light machine oil or general-purpose bearing grease. Grease fitting locations and lubrication intervals depend on your specific equipment design. Inspect bearings quarterly for contamination, debris, or moisture ingress. Replace the assembly if seals are damaged or if grease has emulsified (turned white or foamy), which indicates water contamination.
Q: Are there cross-reference or equivalent part numbers for the 973473 bearing assembly?
A: Cross-reference part numbers vary by OEM and equipment generation. The 973473 is direct OEM or equivalent to bearing assemblies used in multiple Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale manual pallet jack models. Contact us with your equipment model number and we can provide accurate cross-references and confirm whether the 973473 is the correct replacement for your equipment.
