Brake Shoe, Non-Asbestos
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the YL 131545300 brake shoe non-asbestos material important?
A: The YL 131545300 is manufactured from non-asbestos friction material for health and safety compliance. This composition provides reliable braking performance while meeting modern environmental and workplace safety regulations.
Q: What is the brake shoe thickness and wear limit for the YL 131545300?
A: This brake shoe has a standard thickness of approximately 0.25 inches when new. Replacement is required when wear reaches 0.10 inches or less. Continuing operation below minimum thickness reduces braking effectiveness and damages the brake drum.
Q: Which Yale electric lift truck models use the YL 131545300 brake shoe?
A: The YL 131545300 is compatible with specific Yale electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and ride-on trucks from particular production years. Confirm your truck model and serial number match the compatibility range before ordering.
Q: How long does the YL 131545300 brake shoe typically last before replacement?
A: Lifespan varies based on operational intensity and braking frequency. In normal warehouse use, brake shoes last 12 to 24 months. Heavy-use environments or frequent downhill operations require replacement every 6 to 12 months.
Q: What symptoms indicate the YL 131545300 brake shoe needs replacement?
A: Common warning signs include reduced braking response, grinding or squealing sounds during braking, longer stopping distances, and uneven braking behavior. Any of these conditions indicate immediate replacement is needed.
Q: Can the YL 131545300 be cross-referenced to other brake shoe part numbers?
A: This brake shoe has equivalent aftermarket part numbers, but dimensions, friction coefficient, and mounting configuration must match exactly. Do not substitute with non-equivalent parts, as incorrect specifications cause brake failure and safety hazards.
