Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -A suffix mean on the CR 313586-001-A part number?
A: The -A suffix indicates an engineering revision or design variant specific to Crown part numbering. It may represent a change in material, bearing type, or dimensional specifications. Always order the exact part number from your equipment documentation to ensure compatibility and proper fit.
Q: Can I use CR 313586-001-A as a replacement for CR 313586-001?
A: Part number suffixes like -A indicate variations. Do not substitute between CR 313586-001 and CR 313586-001-A unless Crown documentation explicitly states they are interchangeable. Cross-reference the part number on your existing wheel and your equipment manual before ordering to avoid compatibility issues.
Q: What is a load wheel assembly and what does it do?
A: A load wheel assembly is a critical mast component in lift trucks that supports and distributes the weight of lifted loads. It typically consists of a wheel, bearings, axle mounting, and related hardware that allows smooth vertical movement along the mast rails.
Q: How often should load wheel assemblies be inspected?
A: Load wheel assemblies should be inspected regularly as part of routine lift truck maintenance. Check for smooth rolling operation, bearing wear, and any signs of damage or misalignment. Consult your Crown equipment manual for specific maintenance intervals and inspection procedures.
Q: What equipment models are compatible with CR 313586-001-A?
A: The CR 313586-001-A is designed for Crown electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Specific compatible models depend on the mast type and configuration. Verify compatibility by cross-referencing your equipment model number with the part number in your Crown service manual or contact a Crown parts distributor.
Q: Can load wheel assemblies be reused or refurbished?
A: Load wheel assemblies can sometimes be refurbished if bearings and wheels remain serviceable. However, for critical load-bearing applications, Crown recommends using new direct replacement assemblies to ensure safety and reliability. Inspect used assemblies thoroughly for bearing condition and wheel damage before deciding on reuse.
