Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the CT 215966 seal?
A: The CT 215966 is a dynamic or static seal for Caterpillar electric lift trucks. This seal prevents hydraulic or gear oil from leaking and keeps contaminants out of critical components in the lift mechanism.
Q: What material is the CT 215966 seal made from?
A: The CT 215966 uses elastomer compounds such as Nitrile or EPDM rubber. These materials resist oil degradation and maintain flexibility across typical warehouse and cold storage temperatures.
Q: What is the service life of the CT 215966 seal?
A: Under normal conditions, the CT 215966 typically lasts 3 to 5 years depending on equipment usage intensity and environmental exposure. Cold storage environments may extend seal life due to lower thermal stress.
Q: How do I know the CT 215966 seal is failing?
A: Symptoms include visible oil leaks around the seal location, loss of hydraulic pressure, or contamination particles in the fluid reservoir. If seepage appears, replace the CT 215966 promptly to avoid component damage.
Q: Will the CT 215966 fit my electric lift truck model?
A: The CT 215966 is engineered for specific Caterpillar electric lift applications. Verify the bore diameter, cross-section dimensions, and seal type against your equipment manual. Measure the seal cavity before ordering to confirm compatibility.
