Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What bolt sizes are included in the CT 918778 hardware kit?
A: This kit contains high-strength, rolled-thread metric bolts ranging from M6 to M30, along with matching washers. The assorted sizes cover multiple frame, brake, hydraulic, and drivetrain fastening applications on Caterpillar electric lift trucks.
Q: What is the surface finish on CT 918778 bolts and washers?
A: The hardware features anti-corrosion phosphate and oil finish. This finish protects against rust and moisture during storage and field service, extending fastener life in indoor and outdoor warehouse environments. The finish is suitable for both new assembly and field replacement.
Q: Are the bolts in CT 918778 metric or SAE thread standard?
A: All bolts in this kit are metric coarse thread (M6-M30). They are not compatible with SAE or imperial thread fasteners. Verify your equipment assembly specifications and use only metric wrenches and sockets to prevent stripping or cross-threading.
Q: What grade of steel are the bolts in the CT 918778 kit?
A: The bolts are forged high-strength steel engineered to Caterpillar proprietary hardware standards. This construction provides adequate tensile strength and vibration resistance for electric lift truck frame, suspension, and brake assembly applications.
Q: Can the CT 918778 hardware kit be used on non-Caterpillar lift trucks?
A: This kit is engineered specifically for Caterpillar electric lift and pallet truck assemblies. While metric bolts may fit other equipment, use OEM hardware kits matched to your specific equipment manufacturer to ensure proper specifications and fastening integrity.
