Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the CR 115374-1 a direct replacement for other Crown caster assemblies?
A: The CR 115374-1 is a quick-adjustment caster assembly with torsion bar designed for Crown electric lift trucks. It may fit similar designs from Toyota and Raymond, but verify your equipment serial range and current part number. Cross-reference dimensions to confirm fitment on your specific model.
Q: Can the CR 115374-1 be used on both lift and lower circuits?
A: The CR 115374-1 caster assembly functions as a directional element on electric lift trucks. Check your equipment documentation to determine if this assembly is rated for both lift and lower operations or if it is directional. Using it in an incorrect circuit can compromise steering and load stability.
Q: What load capacity does the CR 115374-1 caster assembly support?
A: Load capacity depends on your specific lift truck model and the assembly load rating. Contact us with your equipment model and serial number to verify the rated capacity for the CR 115374-1. Exceeding rated capacity accelerates wear and can cause torsion bar failure.
Q: How long does a torsion bar caster assembly typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on usage intensity, load frequency, and maintenance. In moderate warehouse use, a well-maintained torsion bar assembly lasts 3 to 5 years before wheel replacement is needed. Heavy-duty operations may require assembly replacement within 2 to 3 years due to increased stress on the torsion bar.
Q: What symptoms indicate the CR 115374-1 torsion bar needs replacement?
A: Replace the assembly if you observe cracks in the torsion bar, loss of adjustment hold (bar slips under load), audible creaking or popping from the assembly, uneven wheel wear, or steering drift. These indicate bar failure or permanent deformation.
