Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is this Toyota brake shoe made from?
A: The TO 00591-52166-81 brake shoe is manufactured from non-asbestos material. This compound is designed for thermal stability and durability in electric lift truck brake systems. Non-asbestos formulations provide consistent friction characteristics over extended service life without health hazards associated with asbestos products.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is this brake shoe compatible with?
A: This Toyota OEM part number TO 00591-52166-81 is designed for Toyota electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment model and brake system design before ordering to confirm fitment. This is an OEM Toyota component, so compatibility is specific to Toyota-manufactured equipment using this brake shoe specification.
Q: How long does this brake shoe typically last before replacement?
A: Brake shoe lifespan depends on duty cycle, load frequency, and operating environment. Heavy-duty applications and frequent brake engagement reduce service life compared to light-duty use. Monitor for decreased braking response or visible wear. Schedule replacement when friction material thickness approaches manufacturer minimum specifications to maintain safety and braking performance.
Q: What maintenance is required for this brake shoe?
A: Inspect brake shoes periodically for uneven wear patterns, cracking, or glazing. Keep the brake system clean and free from debris. Do not allow oil or hydraulic fluid to contact the friction material. If noise or reduced braking performance develops, the brake shoe should be evaluated for replacement.
Q: Can this non-asbestos brake shoe be used in wet or cold storage environments?
A: Non-asbestos brake materials like this Toyota component are suitable for general operating environments including wet areas and temperature-controlled spaces. However, extreme moisture exposure or thermal cycling may affect performance. Verify that your specific cold storage or high-humidity environment meets Toyota specifications for this brake system.
