Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 13JM20012 cotter pin used for on Clark lift trucks?
A: The CL 13JM20012 is an OEM cotter pin engineered as a mechanical locking fastener for Clark electric lift trucks. It provides secure retention of axles, clevises, shafts, and other critical fasteners in wheel end assemblies and steering mechanisms.
Q: What material is the CL 13JM20012 cotter pin made from?
A: The CL 13JM20012 cotter pin is constructed from either carbon steel per ASTM A684 or stainless steel per ASTM A276, depending on manufacturing date and application requirements. Stainless steel variants provide superior corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments.
Q: Which Clark electric lift truck components use the CL 13JM20012 cotter pin?
A: The CL 13JM20012 cotter pin is used in high-reliability mechanical assemblies on Clark electric lift trucks, including wheel end assemblies, axle retention, clevis pins, and steering components. Verify exact application and pin diameter against your truck model documentation.
Q: How often should the CL 13JM20012 cotter pin be inspected or replaced?
A: Inspect the CL 13JM20012 cotter pin regularly during preventative maintenance. Replace immediately if the pin is bent, corroded, or missing. Do not reuse cotter pins after removal, as they lose locking tension. Always use a new pin when reassembling fasteners.
Q: Is the CL 13JM20012 cotter pin compatible with other lift truck brands?
A: The CL 13JM20012 is an OEM Clark component. Cross-brand compatibility depends on matching the pin diameter, length, and hole sizing exactly. Always verify specifications before using on non-Clark equipment. When in doubt, use OEM parts for the specific truck model.
Q: What is the service life of the CL 13JM20012 cotter pin?
A: The CL 13JM20012 cotter pin provides indefinite service life under normal operating conditions if not removed or bent. However, once a cotter pin is removed for maintenance, it must be discarded and replaced with a new pin to maintain locking effectiveness and safety reliability.
