Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the ME SMP12-614 compression spring?
A: The ME SMP12-614 is a compression spring designed for electric lift truck hydraulic systems. Verify the spring rate (load capacity per inch of compression), installed height, and outer diameter against your equipment specs before ordering. This spring is used in lift cylinders and load-holding assemblies across multiple electric lift truck brands.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the ME SMP12-614 compression spring?
A: This compression spring is compatible with multiple electric lift truck models from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Cross-reference your equipment model and serial number to confirm fitment, as spring specifications vary by lift capacity and cylinder design.
Q: What materials is this spring made from and how long does it last?
A: The ME SMP12-614 is manufactured from high-carbon steel with protective finish to resist corrosion in hydraulic environments. Expected lifespan is 3 to 5 years under normal duty, depending on load cycles and hydraulic fluid condition. Replace if spring loses height, shows cracks, or no longer supports proper cylinder function.
Q: How do I know if I need to replace this compression spring?
A: Symptoms of spring failure include: reduced lift height, uneven lifting, slow lowering speed, or audible clunking in the lift cylinder area. Measure installed spring height and compare against specification sheet. If height is compressed below specification, replacement is needed.
Q: Are there equivalent part numbers for the ME SMP12-614?
A: Cross-reference the ME SMP12-614 with OEM documentation for your specific lift truck model. Equivalent part numbers exist across Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other manufacturers, but specifications must match exactly. Contact us with your equipment model and serial number for correct cross-reference.
