CR 73962-002

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the CR 73962-002 lube fitting used for?
A: The CR 73962-002 is an OEM lube fitting for manual pallet jack pivot points and load wheel assemblies. It provides a lubrication access point to keep pivot joints and bearing surfaces moving freely, reducing friction and wear on manual lift mechanisms.

Q: What is the thread size of the CR 73962-002 fitting?
A: The CR 73962-002 features 1/4 inch - 28 UNF thread specification. This standard metric is common for manual pallet jack zerk fittings. Ensure grease gun couplers are compatible with 1/4-28 UNF before ordering.

Q: Which Crown pallet jack models use the CR 73962-002 fitting?
A: The CR 73962-002 is compatible with Crown PTH Series manual pallet jacks and similar Crown manual lift truck models. Verify the pivot bore diameter and threading before ordering. Cross-reference your specific model against Crown documentation to confirm fitment.

Q: What material is the CR 73962-002 lube fitting made from?
A: The CR 73962-002 is constructed from hardened alloy steel with a case-hardened surface treatment. This material resists galling, stripping, and corrosion from repeated grease gun installations and warehouse humidity.

Q: How often should the CR 73962-002 fitting be lubricated?
A: Manual pallet jack pivot fittings should be greased every 100-200 operating hours or monthly under normal warehouse use. More frequent lubrication may be needed in high-humidity or cold storage environments. Use general-purpose lithium grease. Signs of inadequate lubrication include stiff pivot motion and squeaking sounds.
