Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material composition of brake shoe YL 620002300?
A: YL 620002300 is a non-asbestos brake shoe designed for electric lift trucks. The non-asbestos composition provides reliable braking performance without the health hazards associated with asbestos-containing materials, making it suitable for indoor and enclosed warehouse environments where air quality is a concern.
Q: Which Yale electric lift truck models use brake shoe YL 620002300?
A: YL 620002300 is a Yale OEM brake shoe commonly found on mid-range electric pallet jacks and walkie stackers. Verify your equipment serial number and brake assembly configuration before ordering to ensure fitment. Brake shoe dimensions must match your existing brake drum and assembly type.
Q: How often should brake shoes like YL 620002300 be replaced?
A: Brake shoe lifespan depends on load weight, duty cycle, and operating environment. In heavy-use warehouse operations, non-asbestos brake shoes typically require replacement every 12 to 24 months. Signs of wear include reduced braking response, grinding noises, or visible material reduction. Monitor brake performance regularly to prevent safety issues.
Q: Are there equivalent or cross-reference brake shoes for YL 620002300?
A: YL 620002300 is a Yale OEM part. Other electric lift truck manufacturers including Toyota, Crown, Raymond, and Hyster produce equivalent non-asbestos brake shoes for their respective equipment.
