CT 215571

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What equipment models does the CT 215571 TIP fit?
A: The CT 215571 is an OEM tip designed specifically for Caterpillar EC25N and EC30N electric lift truck models. Verify your equipment model and serial number match before ordering to ensure compatibility with your fork carriage assembly.

Q: What are the material properties of the CT 215571 TIP?
A: The CT 215571 is manufactured from high-strength alloy steel with a powder coated industrial finish. This material combination provides durability for heavy-duty load handling and resistance to corrosion in warehouse and cold storage environments.

Q: What are the dimensions of the CT 215571 TIP and how do I verify they match my carriage?
A: The CT 215571 is engineered to suit Caterpillar fork carriage assemblies used on EC25N and EC30N models. Dimensions are optimized for these platforms. Cross-reference your carriage part number with the CT 215571 specification sheet to confirm fit before ordering.

Q: How long does the CT 215571 TIP typically last in service?
A: Service life depends on load volume, pallet type, and floor surface conditions. Under normal warehouse use, the CT 215571 typically provides 24 to 48 months of service before wear requires replacement. High-volume operations may see shorter intervals.

Q: What wear indicators show the CT 215571 TIP needs replacement?
A: Replace the CT 215571 when you observe rounded or flattened leading edges, significant powder coat loss exposing bare steel, visible bending or cracking, or poor engagement with pallets. Worn tips increase safety risk and reduce load control.

Q: Is the CT 215571 subject to dimensional wear or only surface wear?
A: The CT 215571 experiences both surface wear through corrosion and dimensional wear through repetitive impact and compression. High-strength alloy steel resists dimensional change better than standard steel, but regular inspection is necessary to catch wear before load drop risk increases.
