Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BT 26687 wheel cylinder and how does it differ from other BT cylinders?
A: The BT 26687 is a wheel cylinder assembly for BT electric lift trucks, similar in function to the BT 26478 but engineered for a different truck model or brake system configuration. Both are hydraulic or pneumatic actuators that control brake or load-holding force at the wheels. The part number distinction indicates different bore size, stroke length, or mounting interface.
Q: Which BT lift truck models are compatible with the BT 26687 wheel cylinder?
A: The BT 26687 is an OEM BT part for specific truck models. To determine compatibility, verify your equipment serial number and consult your parts manual. Do not substitute between BT 26478 and BT 26687, as they are designed for different applications and may not function correctly in the wrong system.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BT 26687 wheel cylinder needs replacement?
A: Replace the BT 26687 if you observe external hydraulic or pneumatic fluid leaks, soft or unresponsive brake pedal, unequal braking between wheels, or if the cylinder rod does not fully extend when pressure is applied. Performance issues like these indicate internal seal failure and require cylinder replacement.
Q: Are equivalent or cross-reference parts available for the BT 26687?
A: The BT 26687 is an OEM BT part. Equivalent cross-references depend on manufacturing partnerships and part sharing with other OEM brands. Contact us with your truck model and serial number to confirm available alternatives or to order the correct BT part number for your equipment.
