Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the CT W205011263 grease fitting do?
A: The CT W205011263 is a grease fitting (also called a zerk fitting) that provides a connection point to lubricate wheel bearings, axles, and pivot points on Caterpillar pallet jacks. It is screwed into the component that needs periodic greasing.

Q: Which CAT Caterpillar pallet jack models use the W205011263?
A: The CT W205011263 grease fitting is compatible with various CAT Caterpillar manual and electric pallet jacks. Confirm your specific model and serial range in Caterpillar documentation, as fitting sizes and locations vary by equipment generation.

Q: What is the thread size and type of the W205011263 fitting?
A: Standard grease fittings are available in 1/4-inch NPT and M10x1 metric sizes. Verify your pallet jack bearing boss or axle hole specifications match the CT W205011263 thread size and profile before ordering to ensure proper seating and no leaks.

Q: How do I identify if a grease fitting needs replacement?
A: Replace the fitting if it becomes loose, stripped, leaks grease, or does not accept the grease gun coupler properly. A damaged fitting prevents proper lubrication and allows dirt entry into bearings, which accelerates wear and component failure.

Q: What grease type should be used with the CT W205011263?
A: Use the grease specification listed in your Caterpillar equipment manual, typically NLGI Grade 2 lithium or multipurpose grease. Apply grease until a small bead appears around the bearing seal, then stop. Over-greasing creates friction and heat that damages bearings.
