RA 27804-00

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the RA 27804-00 hinge caster pin?
A: The RA 27804-00 is a hinge caster support pin engineered for use in Raymond electric pallet jack and electric lift truck caster assemblies. It provides the pivot point for caster swivel and directional steering.

Q: What equipment is the RA 27804-00 compatible with?
A: The RA 27804-00 hinge caster pin is designed for Raymond brand electric lift trucks and electric pallet jacks that require OEM part number 27804-00. Verify your equipment model and serial range before ordering this component.

Q: What is the material composition of the RA 27804-00?
A: The RA 27804-00 is manufactured from hardened steel to withstand rotational stress and lateral loading from caster swivel action. The steel composition resists bending and deformation under typical pallet jack duty cycles.

Q: How do you identify a worn or damaged RA 27804-00 pin?
A: Worn caster pins produce loose steering response, caster wobble, or grinding noise during directional changes. Severe wear can cause the caster to hang at an angle or create resistance during turning operations.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of the RA 27804-00 caster pin?
A: Caster pins typically last 5-15 years depending on equipment usage intensity, surface conditions, and load cycles. High-traffic applications or operation on rough floors accelerate wear and may require replacement sooner.
