Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 220020278 axle and where is it used?
A: The 220020278 is a load-bearing axle assembly used in electric lift trucks to support and rotate the front load wheels or drive wheels. This axle is engineered for electric pallet jacks and low-level order pickers from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and Yale. It handles combined vertical load and rolling resistance in warehouse environments.
Q: What are the dimensional specifications of the 220020278?
A: The 220020278 axle diameter, length, and bore specifications are optimized for standard electric truck wheel hubs and bearing configurations. Exact dimensions vary by truck model and intended load rating. Verify your truck model and wheel hub specifications to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
Q: What material is the 220020278 axle made from?
A: The 220020278 is fabricated from hardened alloy steel selected for high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to bending under heavy point loads. The material composition ensures durability in repetitive duty cycles and minimizes deflection that could cause binding or uneven wheel wear.
Q: What is the weight capacity of the 220020278 axle assembly?
A: The 220020278 is rated for load capacities consistent with its parent truck model, typically supporting 3000 to 5000 pound truck capacity. Verify your specific truck rated capacity and axle loading to confirm the 220020278 is appropriate. Exceeding design load will accelerate bearing wear and axle deflection.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 220020278?
A: With proper wheel bearing maintenance and regular lubrication, the 220020278 axle typically remains serviceable for 5 to 8 years in standard warehouse duty. Axles exposed to continuous use, overloading, or inadequate maintenance may fail sooner. Visual inspection for bending, surface cracks, or bearing play indicates replacement is needed.
Q: What are cross-reference part numbers for the 220020278?
A: The 220020278 is a direct OEM-equivalent axle assembly for electric lift trucks. If you need to verify compatibility with your specific truck model or identify equivalent part numbers, provide the truck serial number and we can confirm fitment and cross-reference alternatives.
