Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the Crown CR 080573 grease fitting fit?
A: The CR 080573 is a Crown OEM lube fitting designed for Crown PE 4500 Series electric pallet jacks and compatible Crown PE 4000 models. This 90-degree grease fitting is used in load wheel, caster, and lifting mechanism assemblies where lubrication points are inaccessible from standard angles.
Q: What are the thread specifications for the CR 080573?
A: The CR 080573 features a 1/4-28 UNF (Unified National Fine) thread size in a 90-degree configuration. This specification ensures proper sealing and fit in Crown OEM grease fittings. Do not attempt to use fittings with different thread sizes or pitches.
Q: What material and construction does this grease fitting have?
A: The CR 080573 is constructed from steel with a contaminant protection design. Steel material resists corrosion in damp environments, and the sealed design prevents dirt and moisture from entering lubrication points, extending bearing life and maintaining equipment reliability.
Q: Are there cross-reference or alternate part numbers for the CR 080573?
A: The CR 080573 is the Crown OEM manufacturer part number. Cross-reference applications with other brands like Toyota, Raymond, or Yale require verification of fitting location, thread size, and assembly type. Always confirm exact fitment before substituting parts from other manufacturers.
Q: Why is a 90-degree grease fitting necessary on lift truck assemblies?
A: A 90-degree fitting allows technicians to access lubrication points when fittings are positioned at angles where standard vertical or horizontal greasing guns cannot reach. This design is critical in confined assembly areas like lift mast and load wheel housings.
