Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the PR 40248-04 shim used for?
A: The PR 40248-04 is a precision shim designed for electric lift truck assemblies. Shims are used to adjust clearances, align components, and correct tolerance stack-up in load wheel and drive tire assemblies on electric material handling equipment.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is the PR 40248-04 compatible with?
A: The PR 40248-04 is compatible with Prime Mover electric lift trucks and similar OEM equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Verify your specific model and serial range before ordering, as shim thickness and fitment specifications vary by application.
Q: How do I know if I need a replacement PR 40248-04 shim?
A: Symptoms indicating shim replacement include wheel wobble, excessive lateral play in the load wheel or drive tire, uneven tire wear patterns, or binding during steering and drive operations. Component misalignment can also cause accelerated bearing wear and reduced equipment performance.
Q: What material is the PR 40248-04 made from?
A: The PR 40248-04 is manufactured from steel or stainless steel material to provide precise dimensional control and durability in high-load material handling applications. Steel shims resist deformation under repeated load cycling.
Q: Can the PR 40248-04 be reused after disassembly?
A: Yes, the PR 40248-04 can typically be reused if it has not been damaged, bent, or deformed during service. Inspect the shim for cracks, pitting, or warping before reinstalling. If clearances or alignment have shifted, verify whether original shim thickness is still appropriate for your application.
