CT 608404

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the CT 608404 and what equipment does it support?
A: The CT 608404 is an OEM radial roller bearing engineered for manual pallet jack frame assemblies. It is designed to support both radial and axial loads encountered during heavy-duty material handling operations.

Q: Which pallet jack models and manufacturers use the CT 608404 bearing?
A: The CT 608404 is a Caterpillar OEM bearing compatible with manual pallet jacks built by Caterpillar. The alternate model designation is CT608404. Confirm bearing pocket dimensions and load class match your specific pallet jack model.

Q: What materials and construction does the CT 608404 radial roller bearing use?
A: The CT 608404 features a steel inner and outer raceway with precision rollers. This steel construction provides durability under heavy radial and axial loads typical in material handling equipment, resisting deformation under sustained pressure.

Q: What load ratings and dimensions should I verify for the CT 608404 bearing?
A: Consult the Caterpillar specification sheet for bore diameter, outer diameter, width, and dynamic/static load ratings. Ensure these dimensions match your jack frame assembly pocket and that load ratings meet or exceed your equipment load class.

Q: How does bearing performance change under cold storage or wet floor conditions?
A: The CT 608404 steel construction functions in cold storage environments. For operations on wet floors, verify seal design and grease composition provide adequate corrosion protection. Inspect bearings more frequently in high-moisture conditions.

Q: What failure symptoms indicate the CT 608404 bearing needs replacement?
A: Signs of bearing wear include grinding or grinding noise, increased resistance during operation, lateral play in the load wheel, or visible corrosion on the raceway. Replace the bearing when rolling action becomes rough or play exceeds manufacturer tolerances.
