Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the PR 22243-00 shim washer in electric lift trucks?
A: The PR 22243-00 shim washer is used to adjust clearance, spacing, or alignment in Prime Mover electric lift truck assemblies. Shim washers compensate for manufacturing tolerances and wear in mechanical joints. They are commonly placed between mast sections, attachment brackets, or hydraulic components to maintain proper fit and operation.
Q: Which Prime Mover lift truck models require the PR 22243-00 shim washer?
A: The PR 22243-00 is a standard shim washer for Prime Mover electric lift trucks. Applications include mast alignment, bracket spacing, and component stacking. The exact placement depends on your equipment model and specification. Consult your equipment documentation or contact our parts department with your serial number to confirm required quantities and locations.
Q: What material is the PR 22243-00 shim washer made from?
A: The PR 22243-00 is typically manufactured from steel or stainless steel to withstand the mechanical loads and environmental conditions in lift truck service. Steel shims provide excellent durability under compression and repeated vibration. Stainless steel variants offer enhanced corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor storage environments.
Q: How many PR 22243-00 shim washers do I need for my equipment?
A: The number of PR 22243-00 shim washers required depends on your equipment model, mast configuration, and specific assembly requirements. Typically, kits include multiple washers of varying thicknesses to allow precise adjustment. Consult your equipment service manual or contact our parts team with your serial number for the exact quantity and specification.
Q: Can the PR 22243-00 shim washer wear out or require replacement?
A: Shim washers rarely wear out under normal service. However, they may need replacement if crushed, permanently deformed, corroded, or lost during maintenance. If you notice increased play, misalignment, or rattle in mast sections after assembly, missing or degraded shim washers may be the cause. Replacement is straightforward and restores proper clearance and alignment.
