Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a grease fitting and what is its function on electric lift trucks?
A: The BR 28842-071 grease fitting is a threaded port that allows controlled lubrication of bearings, pivot points, and load wheel assemblies on electric lift trucks. It enables preventive maintenance by providing a connection point for grease guns without disassembling components.
Q: What is the thread size and type for the BR 28842-071 grease fitting?
A: The BR 28842-071 uses a standard zerk or flush-face grease fitting thread. Verify the exact thread type (metric or SAE) and size against your equipment documentation to ensure proper installation and sealed connection on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or other electric lift truck models.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the BR 28842-071 grease fitting?
A: The BR 28842-071 grease fitting is compatible with load wheel assemblies, mast pivots, and bearing housings on electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Confirm your truck model and component location before ordering.
Q: What type of grease should be used with the BR 28842-071?
A: Use a lithium-based multipurpose grease (NLGI Grade 2) or manufacturer-specified lubricant for electric lift truck applications. Do not use automotive chassis grease or heavy-duty grease unless your equipment manufacturer specifically requires it. Refer to your truck maintenance manual for exact grease specifications.
Q: How often should the BR 28842-071 grease fitting be used for lubrication?
A: Grease intervals depend on duty cycle. Standard warehouse use requires greasing every 500 operating hours or monthly, whichever comes first. High-volume operations require greasing every 250 hours. If the fitting becomes stripped or does not hold grease pressure, replace it immediately.
