Friction Plate Assembly
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 113780 friction plate assembly?
A: The CR 113780 is a Crown OEM friction plate assembly. This component is used in the brake or transmission drivetrain of electric lift trucks to manage power transfer and braking functions.
Q: What Crown equipment models use the CR 113780?
A: The CR 113780 is a Crown OEM part. Contact us with your specific equipment model and serial number to confirm compatibility and verify that this is the correct friction plate assembly for your lift truck.
Q: What does a friction plate assembly do?
A: Friction plate assemblies are critical drivetrain components that use friction material to engage and disengage power transmission in electric lift trucks. They enable smooth acceleration and controlled braking during material-handling operations.
Q: How long does a friction plate assembly typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on equipment usage intensity, load cycles, and operator technique. Friction plate assemblies experience gradual wear and require replacement when slippage occurs during acceleration or braking or when the meter shows extended engagement time.
Q: What are typical failure symptoms for this assembly?
A: Common failure symptoms include slipping during load pickup, delayed engagement when accelerating, reduced braking effectiveness, or burning odor from the drivetrain. If you experience any of these symptoms, the friction plate assembly may need replacement.
