Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the CR 74962 shim in electric lift trucks?
A: The CR 74962 shim is a thin spacing component used to adjust alignment and clearance tolerances in mast assemblies, load wheels, and drive mechanisms. It compensates for wear, manufacturing tolerances, and geometric variation.
Q: What Crown or Toyota electric lift truck models require the CR 74962 shim?
A: The CR 74962 is used in multiple Crown and Toyota electric lift truck mast and carriage assemblies. Shim requirements vary by model year and load rating; verify your equipment serial range before ordering.
Q: What material and thickness is the CR 74962 shim?
A: The CR 74962 is manufactured from hardened steel with precision thickness tolerances. The exact thickness is specified for your model and application to maintain correct load geometry and operational clearance.
Q: When is the CR 74962 shim replaced during maintenance?
A: The CR 74962 may require replacement during major mast rebuilds or when wear in component mounting surfaces creates excessive play. Shims are typically replaced as a set to maintain consistent spacing throughout the assembly.
Q: Can I substitute or stack CR 74962 shims to adjust clearance?
A: No. Do not substitute or stack shims beyond the original specification. Improper shimming can cause mast misalignment, uneven load distribution, and accelerated wear or component failure.
