Link Right for Crown Electric Lift Truck

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the CR 079600 link right component?
A: The CR 079600 is a right-side link assembly used in Crown electric lift truck mast and hydraulic systems. It pairs with the CR 079599 left link to maintain lift arm parallelism and support load during operation.

Q: What is the relationship between the CR 079599 and CR 079600?
A: The CR 079599 (left link) and CR 079600 (right link) are mirror-image components that work as a matched pair. They must be the same condition and specification to ensure even load distribution and proper lift geometry.

Q: Which Crown models use the CR 079600 right link?
A: The CR 079600 is compatible with Crown electric lift truck models WP 2000, WP 2300, and WP 3000. Verify your equipment model and serial number to confirm compatibility before ordering.

Q: What happens if the CR 079600 right link fails or wears out?
A: A failing right link causes uneven lift, tilting of the mast, binding during raise or lower, and accelerated wear on the hydraulic cylinders. The pallet jack may not raise or lower smoothly, and load stability is compromised.

Q: Must both CR 079599 and CR 079600 be replaced together?
A: Yes, it is best practice to replace both left and right links as a set. This ensures matched wear rates, uniform lift geometry, and consistent operational performance. Replacing only one link results in misaligned lift arms and premature failure of the replacement part.

Q: What material is the CR 079600 made from?
A: The CR 079600 is constructed from durable materials designed for long-lasting performance in industrial environments.

Q: How do I know when to replace the CR 079600?
A: Replace the CR 079600 if you notice signs of wear, such as difficulty in lifting or lowering the mast, uneven lift, or visible damage. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
