Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the CR 78354 guide spring?
A: The CR 78354 is a guide spring component for Crown electric lift trucks. Guide springs are engineered to control lateral movement, maintain alignment, and provide restoring force in lift mast assemblies or load path systems to ensure smooth vertical travel and prevent binding or misalignment.
Q: Which Crown electric lift truck models use this guide spring?
A: The CR 78354 is designed for Crown electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. Verify your specific equipment model and serial range against Crown documentation to confirm this is the correct guide spring replacement. Guide spring specifications vary by lift height and mast design.
Q: What material is the CR 78354 guide spring made from?
A: Guide springs in Crown equipment are typically manufactured from high-strength steel or specialized spring steel formulations engineered to withstand repeated compression and extension cycles without permanent deformation. The specific material ensures consistent restoring force throughout the lift truck operational life.
Q: How can I tell if my guide spring needs replacement?
A: Signs of guide spring wear include uneven lift mast travel, lateral drift or binding during vertical movement, or visible deformation of the spring itself. If your lift truck mast does not return to full height when lowering or exhibits resistance, the guide spring may require replacement to restore proper function.
