Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Q700B01 grease fitting used for?
A: The Q700B01 is a grease fitting (also called grease nipple or zerk) used in fork lift and electric lift truck lubrication systems. It allows pressurized grease to be injected into bearing and pivot points on lift mechanisms, mast assemblies, and load wheels.
Q: Which fork lift and lift truck models accept the Q700B01 grease fitting?
A: The Q700B01 is compatible with standard grease fitting ports on most electric and manual fork lifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, and similar OEM manufacturers. Verify the fitting thread size and head style match your equipment lubrication points before ordering.
Q: What thread size and type is the Q700B01 grease fitting?
A: The Q700B01 is a standard grease fitting. Most grease fittings use either 1/4-28 or M8x1.0 metric thread specifications. Confirm the exact thread size and length of your equipment grease fitting port to ensure proper fit and sealing.
Q: How often should the Q700B01 grease fitting be serviced?
A: Grease fitting maintenance frequency depends on equipment usage and OEM guidelines. Typically fork lift and electric lift truck grease points require servicing every 8 to 40 operating hours. Check your equipment manual for specific lubrication schedules and grease type specifications.
Q: What happens if a grease fitting like Q700B01 becomes clogged?
A: A clogged grease fitting prevents lubrication from reaching bearing and pivot points, leading to increased friction, wear acceleration, and potential component failure. Replace the Q700B01 fitting if grease cannot be injected under normal pressure or if the fitting is damaged or corroded.
