Product Description
The CR 120160 is a tempered steel coil arm spring engineered for Crown electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. This component provides critical spring tension that assists lift arms in returning to home position and facilitates smooth lowering operations, reducing strain on hydraulic systems and improving overall cycle performance. Ideal for maintaining proper arm retraction and preventing drift during load handling operations.
Manufactured from high-grade tempered steel with corrosion-resistant treatment, the CR 120160 delivers dependable performance through thousands of load cycles. Replace when lift arms lower sluggishly, fail to retract fully, or show signs of permanent deformation or rust. Genuine Crown replacement part for reliable equipment operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the arm spring in a pallet jack?
A: The CR 120160 arm spring provides tension that assists in lowering the lift arms and returns them to their home position when load is released. It reduces strain on hydraulic systems and improves cycle speed and operator control during lowering operations.
Q: Which Crown pallet jack models use the CR 120160 spring?
A: The CR 120160 is an arm spring used in specific Crown electric pallet jack models. Verify your equipment model number and lift type before ordering. Spring compatibility is critical to proper operation, so confirm specifications with your equipment documentation.
Q: What is the spring rate or tension specification?
A: The CR 120160 arm spring is engineered to specific load and tension requirements for Crown Wave equipment. Standard spring specifications are available upon request. Using an incorrect spring rate will result in sluggish lowering, arm drift, or incomplete retraction.
Q: How do I know if this spring needs replacement?
A: Replace the CR 120160 if lift arms lower too slowly, do not fully retract, or require manual assistance to return to home position. Also replace if the spring shows visible cracks, rust, or permanent deformation. A weak spring will increase hydraulic workload and reduce cycle performance.
Q: What material is the arm spring made from?
A: The CR 120160 is a tempered steel coil spring treated for corrosion resistance. It is designed to withstand thousands of load cycles without permanent deformation or fatigue failure under normal pallet jack operating conditions.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this spring?
A: Under normal use, the CR 120160 arm spring typically lasts 3 to 5 years depending on cycle frequency and maintenance. High-use equipment may require replacement more frequently. Regular lubrication of pivot points and load arms extends spring life.
