Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the YL 580046627 gas spring?
A: The YL 580046627 is a pneumatic gas spring used for load support, hood damping, or seat height adjustment on Yale electric lift trucks. Specifications include spring force (typically 300 to 800 Newtons), stroke length, rod diameter, and mounting style. Verify these dimensions match your current component before ordering.
Q: Which Yale lift truck models use the YL 580046627 gas spring?
A: This gas spring is a replacement component for specific Yale electric pallet jacks, stackers, or reach trucks. Model compatibility depends on equipment generation and configuration. Contact us with your equipment model and serial number to confirm this gas spring is the correct replacement.
Q: What material is the YL 580046627 gas spring made from?
A: Gas springs consist of a steel cylinder filled with nitrogen gas and sealed with a piston rod and elastomer seals. The rod is typically chrome-plated steel for corrosion resistance. The elastomer seals are formulated to withstand pressure cycles and temperature variations typical in lift truck environments.
Q: How long does the YL 580046627 gas spring last?
A: Gas springs typically provide 5 to 10 years of service with normal duty cycles. Failure occurs when the internal seal degrades and nitrogen escapes, reducing spring force and support capability. Replace the gas spring if the component no longer provides adequate lift or support, or if the rod moves without resistance.
Q: What are the signs that the YL 580046627 gas spring needs replacement?
A: Replace the gas spring if the hood or seat drops without effort, if the spring provides insufficient load support, or if you observe fluid leakage around the rod seal. A failed gas spring will not maintain pressure and cannot be repaired; replacement is the only option.
