Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where does ball bearing YL 060118400 mount on Yale pallet jacks?
A: YL 060118400 is a ball bearing component used in drive axle, steering, or load wheel assemblies on Yale electric pallet jacks. Refer to your equipment assembly diagram to identify the exact mounting location for your model.
Q: What load rating does this ball bearing support?
A: YL 060118400 is engineered for the load capacity of its specific pallet jack model series. The bearing must support both the lifted load and the dead weight of the truck frame and mechanisms. Do not use this bearing in applications exceeding the rated capacity.
Q: Is YL 060118400 a deep groove ball bearing?
A: YL 060118400 is a ball bearing assembly designed for radial and light thrust load applications typical in pallet jack axles. The specific bearing type and configuration are optimized for Yale MP and MPB series equipment.
Q: What indicates this ball bearing needs replacement?
A: Replace YL 060118400 if you observe grinding noise, roughness when rotating the axle by hand, increased drag, or visible play in wheel movement. These symptoms indicate internal raceway damage or rolling element wear.
Q: How does cold storage environment affect this bearing?
A: In cold storage below freezing, bearing lubricant thickens and internal clearances may tighten, increasing drag and wear rate. YL 060118400 is rated for standard cold storage use, but expect reduced lifespan in extreme temperatures below minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
