Gas spring
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a gas spring used for on electric lift trucks?
A: Gas springs provide assist force to lower load arms or hydraulic lids. The pressurized nitrogen gas reduces operator effort and prevents components from falling too quickly. They are found on scissor lifts, tillers, and load backrest assemblies.
Q: What is the pressure rating of the BR 27867-000 gas spring?
A: The exact pressure rating depends on the intended application. Verify your equipment manual or provide your truck model number to confirm correct pressure specification. Using incorrect pressure can cause poor performance or safety hazards.
Q: Which lift truck models use the BR 27867-000 gas spring?
A: This gas spring is compatible with specific models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar manufacturers. Confirm your truck model and serial range to verify fitment.
Q: How long does a BR 27867-000 gas spring last?
A: Gas springs typically last 3 to 5 years or longer if not exposed to excessive heat or shock loads. Loss of pressure is gradual and may become noticeable when component lowering becomes slower or requires more operator force.
Q: What are signs that BR 27867-000 gas spring needs replacement?
A: Signs include slow or uncontrolled descent of load arms, difficulty lowering the backrest, audible hissing from the spring, or visible damage to the cylinder. Loss of gas pressure cannot be recharged and requires replacement.
Q: Is BR 27867-000 equivalent to BR 27867-001?
A: These are likely different pressure specifications or mounting variations for different truck models. Do not substitute without confirming compatibility with your specific equipment serial number.
