Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the E-5377 axle and where is it used?
A: The E-5377 is an axle assembly used in electric lift truck load wheel systems and steer mechanisms. It supports and rotates the wheels that carry the load or guide the truck direction. Axle failure results in wheel lockup, uneven wear, and potential load instability.
Q: Which electric lift trucks are compatible with the E-5377 axle?
A: The E-5377 fits electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar OEM manufacturers. Compatibility depends on whether this axle is for the load wheel, steer axle, or drive axle assembly. Verify truck model, serial number, and axle location before ordering.
Q: What material and diameter is the E-5377 axle?
A: The E-5377 is typically manufactured from hardened steel with a polished or zinc-plated finish. Axle diameter ranges from 1 inch to 1.5 inches depending on load capacity and truck class. Material hardness is engineered to resist bending under full load conditions.
Q: What symptoms indicate the E-5377 axle needs replacement?
A: Signs of axle wear include lateral wheel play, uneven tire wear patterns, steering resistance, or clicking noises during turns. If wheels drift sideways or lock during operation, the axle may be bent or damaged. Have the axle inspected by a technician before operating the truck.
Q: What is the length and bearing specification of the E-5377 axle?
A: E-5377 axle length and bearing type vary by truck model and assembly. Common lengths are 18 to 30 inches with either roller or ball bearing configurations. Contact our parts team with your specific truck model for exact axle length, bearing size, and spindle specifications.
Q: Are there cross-reference axles for the E-5377?
A: Cross-reference part numbers exist across Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. However, each OEM may use slightly different bearing configurations or spindle threading. Do not assume interchangeability without verifying exact dimensions and bearing specifications with us first.
