Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 6R8566 insulator kit used for?
A: The CT 6R8566 is an OEM Caterpillar insulator kit engineered for electric lift trucks. It provides electrical insulation and vibration isolation for critical components in the truck electrical and drivetrain systems.
Q: Which Caterpillar electric lift truck models use this insulator kit?
A: The CT 6R8566 is designed for Caterpillar electric lift truck applications. Verify your specific model and serial number against the OEM documentation to confirm this is the correct replacement part.
Q: What components are typically included in this insulator kit?
A: The CT 6R8566 is a complete insulator kit assembly containing multiple insulator components as designed by Caterpillar for your specific electric lift truck model. Contact us with your equipment details for a complete component list.
Q: What happens if insulators fail or degrade?
A: Failed insulators can cause electrical shorts, increased vibration, component misalignment, and equipment shutdown. Rubber and composite insulators degrade from age, heat, and exposure to oils and solvents. Replace if cracking, hardening, or deterioration is visible.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of insulator components?
A: Insulator components typically last 5 to 10 years depending on operating environment, temperature exposure, and chemical exposure. Insulators degrade faster in hot environments or when exposed to oils and solvents.
