Load wheel axle
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the CL 7001802 load wheel axle fit?
A: The CL 7001802 is a load wheel axle for Clark electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. Verify your Clark model and axle specifications match before ordering.
Q: How does a load wheel axle differ from other axle types?
A: Load wheel axles carry the weight of the pallet and material. They rotate freely without steering. Steering axles control direction and are typically front-mounted. A single lift truck may have multiple load wheel axles but only one steering axle.
Q: What specifications should I check before ordering the CL 7001802?
A: Confirm axle diameter, length, bearing type (open or sealed), and whether the equipment uses stamped or machined end caps. Mismatched axle dimensions cause binding, bearing failure, and unsafe operation.
Q: Does environment affect axle material selection?
A: Yes. For cold storage or wet floor applications, specify sealed bearing axles to prevent corrosion and water ingress. Standard open bearing axles suit dry indoor warehouses with regular lubrication maintenance.
Q: What maintenance prevents load wheel axle failure?
A: Lubricate axle bearings per Clark specifications, inspect wheels for lateral play or unusual resistance monthly, keep wheels clean and free of debris, and avoid overloading beyond the truck rated capacity.
Q: When should the CL 7001802 be replaced?
A: Replace when wheels show side-to-side movement, rolling becomes difficult or noisy, axle metal is bent or cracked, or when normal lubrication does not restore smooth operation. Typical replacement interval is 3 to 5 years in standard use.
