Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 050026-001 cotter pin used for on electric pallet trucks?
A: The CR 050026-001 is a Crown cotter pin designed for locking and retaining clevis pins, castellated bolts, and pivot fasteners on electric lift truck assemblies. Cotter pins prevent unintended removal and secure critical mechanical joints in the steering and lift linkage systems.
Q: What Crown pallet truck models use the CR 050026-001?
A: The CR 050026-001 is a genuine Crown OEM cotter pin. Fitment depends on the hole diameter of the fastener it secures. Provide your equipment model or serial number to confirm compatibility. This part may be used across multiple Crown electric truck platforms.
Q: What material is the CR 050026-001 made from?
A: Crown cotter pins are typically manufactured from mild steel or stainless steel with a zinc plating or protective finish. Stainless steel variants offer superior corrosion resistance for cold storage and high-moisture environments. Confirm material grade if corrosion exposure is a concern.
Q: How often should the CR 050026-001 be replaced as part of maintenance?
A: Cotter pins should be replaced whenever removed or if they show signs of cracking, corrosion, or loss of spring tension. Bent or fractured cotter pins lose their holding capacity. Inspect fasteners during routine maintenance and replace as preventive measure if trucks operate in harsh environments.
Q: What size cotter pin hole does the CR 050026-001 fit?
A: The CR 050026-001 cotter pin is sized to fit a specific hole diameter on Crown clevis pins or castellated bolts. Measure the hole in the fastener you are securing. Contact us with the hole diameter and we can confirm the correct cotter pin size for your application.
