Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the CR 042679 pin hinge do on a lift truck?
A: The CR 042679 pin hinge is a pivot connection that allows the mast, load bed, or carriage to articulate or fold. It is a critical structural fastening point that must remain tight to ensure safe operation.
Q: What material and finish does the CR 042679 have?
A: Crown pin hinges are typically hardened steel with a protective plating or paint finish to resist corrosion in wet and cold storage environments. Material properties ensure strength under repeated flexing.
Q: How do I know if the CR 042679 pin hinge is worn out?
A: Signs of wear include excessive play or lateral movement at the hinge joint, visible corrosion or pitting that creates stress concentrations, or audible creaking during operation. Replace the pin hinge if movement is greater than normal clearance.
Q: What are the dimensions and bolt specifications for the CR 042679?
A: Pin hinge dimensions vary by Crown model. Verify the mounting hole spacing, pin diameter, hinge height, and bolt size from your equipment manual or contact us with your truck model to confirm the correct CR 042679 variant.
Q: Can the CR 042679 pin be replaced separately or must I buy the whole hinge?
A: Some Crown models allow pin replacement separately, while others require full hinge assembly replacement. Check your equipment manual or contact us with your model number to determine if the pin alone is available.
