Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the CR 115374-013 and CR 115374-1 caster assemblies?
A: Both the CR 115374-013 and CR 115374-1 are caster assemblies with torsion bar quick adjustment. The CR 115374-013 is a variant designation, but both units feature the same torsion bar mechanism for rapid height or angle adjustment on electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment model and serial range to confirm which variant fits your application.
Q: What equipment brands does the CR 115374-013 caster assembly fit?
A: This caster assembly with torsion bar is compatible with Crown electric lift trucks and similar models from Toyota, Raymond, and Yale industrial equipment. Check your equipment documentation or the part number on your existing assembly to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the torsion bar quick adjustment feature used for?
A: The torsion bar mechanism allows field technicians to quickly adjust caster angle or load positioning without disassembling the entire assembly. This reduces maintenance downtime on electric lift trucks and provides flexibility for different load handling scenarios.
Q: How does the CR 115374-013 compare to a caster assembly without torsion bar?
A: Assemblies with torsion bar (CR 115374-013) offer tool-free quick adjustment capability, while assemblies without torsion bar (CR 115374-2 or CR 115374-4) are fixed-angle designs. Use the torsion bar variant if your operations require frequent angle adjustments; use fixed designs for static applications where angle does not change.
Q: What materials are used in the torsion bar caster assembly?
A: Torsion bar assemblies for electric lift trucks typically use hardened steel for the bar mechanism, cast iron or ductile iron for the support housing, and polyurethane or elastomer materials for wheel contact surfaces. These materials provide durability under repetitive stress and load cycles.
Q: What maintenance is required for the torsion bar caster assembly?
A: Periodically inspect the torsion bar for cracks or permanent deformation, verify adjustment mechanism moves smoothly without binding, and check wheel condition for wear or flat spots. Clean debris from adjustment points to prevent corrosion and binding. Replace the assembly if the torsion bar shows permanent set or cracking.
