Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the HY 826120 caster assembly made from?
A: The HY 826120 is a caster assembly with zinc plating. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for the steel frame and hardware, extending service life in indoor and outdoor warehouse environments.
Q: Which Hyster lift truck models use the HY 826120 caster assembly?
A: The HY 826120 is an OEM caster assembly for Hyster electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment model and frame design match the mounting pattern before ordering. Caster assemblies vary significantly by truck geometry and capacity.
Q: What is the load rating for the HY 826120 caster assembly?
A: Load capacity depends on total truck rated capacity and axle design. The HY 826120 is engineered as an OEM component for specific Hyster models. Consult your equipment specifications or contact us to confirm load limits for your particular lift truck model.
Q: How does zinc plating on the HY 826120 affect durability?
A: Zinc plating acts as a sacrificial barrier protecting underlying steel from rust and corrosion. In wet or cold storage environments, the plating extends caster assembly lifespan. However, mechanical damage exposes raw steel. Inspect regularly and replace if base metal corrosion is visible.
Q: When should the HY 826120 caster assembly be replaced?
A: Replace the caster assembly if wheels are flat-spotted or cracked, if the swivel mechanism is damaged or loose, or if excessive side play is present. Heavy corrosion penetrating through the zinc plating or stuck bearings also require replacement.
