Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BG 080-7136 bolt used for?
A: The BG 080-7136 is a hardened steel bolt used to secure pump brackets, cylinder mounting blocks, and structural frame connections on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster material handling equipment.
Q: What are the dimensions and thread specifications of the BG 080-7136?
A: The BG 080-7136 has a specific diameter, length, and metric thread pitch. Check your parts diagram for exact dimensions, as incorrect bolt sizing can cause improper clamping force and component failure under load.
Q: Can the BG 080-7136 be used in high-vibration applications?
A: Yes, but only if the bolt is properly torqued and a locking mechanism such as a lock washer or thread-locking compound is used. Without locking measures, vibration from pump operation or rough terrain will cause the bolt to loosen and potentially fail.
Q: What material grade is the BG 080-7136?
A: The BG 080-7136 is manufactured to a specific SAE or ISO grade, typically a hardened steel with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Do not substitute with lower-grade fasteners as this reduces load capacity and increases failure risk.
Q: How often should I inspect the BG 080-7136 bolts for wear or looseness?
A: Inspect all structural bolts quarterly. Check for visible corrosion, rust staining, or gaps indicating looseness. Re-torque any loose bolts and replace any showing signs of corrosion or thread damage. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to frame failure or component separation.
