LC 2000

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the LC 2000 caster assembly used for?
A: The LC 2000 is a complete zinc-plated caster assembly designed for electric lift truck and pallet jack applications. It provides steering and directional control while supporting heavy loads on the equipment frame. The caster assembly includes the bracket, wheel, bearing, and mounting hardware as a complete unit.

Q: Which electric lift truck models are compatible with the LC 2000 caster assembly?
A: The LC 2000 fits multiple electric lift truck brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Hyster models with compatible front or steering caster mounts. Verify mounting hole spacing, load rating, and wheel diameter match your equipment specifications before ordering. Incorrect caster sizing affects steering response and stability.

Q: What are the load capacity and wheel specifications for the LC 2000?
A: The LC 2000 caster assembly is rated for specific load capacities per pair, typically ranging from 800 to 2000 pounds depending on the wheel material and bearing design. The zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments. Contact us with your equipment specifications for exact load rating and wheel material details.

Q: Why is the LC 2000 zinc-plated?
A: The zinc-plated finish on the LC 2000 provides corrosion resistance for equipment used in wet environments, outdoor storage, or cold storage facilities. This coating extends the assembly lifespan and reduces maintenance requirements compared to uncoated steel. The plating maintains its protective properties for 3 to 5 years under normal conditions.

Q: What maintenance does the LC 2000 caster assembly require?
A: The LC 2000 requires periodic wheel bearing lubrication per manufacturer schedules and inspection for flat spots or debris buildup on the wheel. Inspect the zinc plating for damage or corrosion exposure. Replace the entire assembly if wheel bearings fail, steering response becomes sluggish, or structural damage to the bracket is evident.
