Grease Fitting for Electric Lift Truck

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the HW-901 grease fitting used for?
A: The HW-901 grease fitting is a connection point for delivering lubrication to moving components in electric lift truck assemblies. It allows technicians to inject grease under pressure to reduce friction and extend component life.

Q: What equipment types use the HW-901 grease fitting?
A: The HW-901 grease fitting is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar material handling equipment. Confirm thread size and mounting location match your specific model.

Q: How often should grease be applied through the HW-901 fitting?
A: Grease application frequency depends on equipment usage and operating conditions. High-use equipment typically requires lubrication every 50-100 operating hours. Check your equipment manual for manufacturer recommendations.

Q: What type of grease should be used with the HW-901 fitting?
A: Use lithium-based or polyurea grease rated for industrial material handling equipment. Do not mix grease types. Consult your equipment documentation for the specific NLGI grade and performance specifications required.

Q: When should the HW-901 grease fitting be replaced?
A: Replace the HW-901 fitting if it no longer accepts grease, leaks grease excessively, or if the internal check valve fails. A damaged fitting prevents proper lubrication and accelerates wear on connected components.
