Product Description
The CR 74962 is a precision hardened steel shim designed for Crown and Toyota electric lift truck mast and carriage assemblies. This thin spacing component adjusts alignment and clearance tolerances in load-bearing mechanisms, compensating for wear and manufacturing variation. Used in major mast rebuilds and carriage service, it maintains proper load geometry and operational clearance. Direct replacement for original equipment shim specifications.
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.
