Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BT 304348-000 slotted caster nut used for?
A: The BT 304348-000 is a slotted nut designed for fastening caster wheel assemblies to electric lift truck axles and steering kingpin assemblies. The slot design allows for cotter pin retention after torquing, preventing rotation and loosening during equipment operation.
Q: Which electric lift truck caster assemblies does the BT 304348-000 fit?
A: The BT 304348-000 is compatible with BT Prime Mover electric lift truck caster assemblies. The fitment depends on axle or kingpin shaft diameter and thread pitch. Verify your truck model and axle specifications match before ordering.
Q: What is the thread size and pitch of the BT 304348-000 nut?
A: The BT 304348-000 is manufactured to OEM specifications for BT electric lift trucks. Contact us with your equipment model and steering or axle assembly details for exact thread diameter, pitch, and material specifications.
Q: What material is the BT 304348-000 slotted nut made from?
A: The BT 304348-000 is manufactured from steel to OEM specifications, providing strength and durability for caster fastening applications. Steel resists deformation under the vibrational and rotational forces created by steering and load transport.
Q: When should the BT 304348-000 caster nut be replaced?
A: Replace the BT 304348-000 if the cotter pin hole threads become stripped, the nut becomes cracked or deformed, or the caster wheel develops play and wobble after torquing and pinning. These conditions indicate fastening failure and unsafe steering operation.
