CR 120281

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the CR 120281 and where is it located?
A: The CR 120281 is a 3rd Stage Bottom Front Guide for Crown Wave electric pallet jacks. It is positioned at the lower front of the third mast stage to control lateral movement during high-lift operations.

Q: Will the CR 120281 fit my pallet jack?
A: The CR 120281 is designed specifically for Crown Wave model pallet jacks with a 3-stage mast assembly. Confirm your equipment has a 3-stage mast and matches the Wave model line before ordering.

Q: What are the material specifications for the CR 120281?
A: The CR 120281 is machined or cast from ductile iron to withstand the compressive and lateral loads imposed during extended mast lift cycles. The material provides excellent wear resistance for warehouse environments.

Q: How long does a 3rd stage guide typically last?
A: Third-stage guides experience more stress than lower-stage guides due to increased load height and mast deflection. Under typical warehouse service, expect 4-6 years of operation before replacement becomes necessary. High-cycle operations may require sooner replacement.

Q: What happens if the 3rd stage bottom front guide fails?
A: A failed 3rd stage guide causes lateral movement and wobble at the top of the mast, reducing load stability at height. This increases tip-over risk and may cause load shift. Replace immediately if excessive play or wear is detected.
