Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 313948-000 axle used for?
A: The RA 313948-000 is a 6-inch diameter caster wheel axle that connects the load wheel to the frame of a pallet jack or lift truck. It supports the wheel rotation and carries the load weight transferred from the equipment frame.
Q: What is the shaft diameter specification of the RA 313948-000?
A: The RA 313948-000 has a 6-inch outer diameter (OD). Bore diameter, length, and thread specification depend on your specific OEM equipment. Verify these measurements or provide your equipment model to confirm compatibility.
Q: Which equipment brands use the RA 313948-000 axle?
A: The RA 313948-000 is compatible with caster wheel assemblies on Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar OEM material handling equipment. Confirm that wheel diameter, bore, and mounting configuration match your existing assembly before ordering.
Q: What material is the RA 313948-000 axle made from?
A: The RA 313948-000 is typically forged steel or chrome-plated steel. Steel provides the strength and rigidity needed to support dynamic loads and resist bending under full equipment load. Chrome plating resists corrosion and wear.
Q: When should the RA 313948-000 axle be replaced?
A: Replace the axle if it becomes bent, cracked, or stripped of threads. A damaged axle causes uneven wheel wear, poor maneuverability, and safety hazards. If the wheel rotates unevenly or binding is observed, inspect the axle for damage before replacing the entire wheel assembly.
Q: Can the RA 313948-000 be used with different wheel sizes?
A: The RA 313948-000 is sized for specific wheel bore dimensions and axle length. Verify that your load wheel or caster wheel bore fits the axle shaft diameter and that the wheel hub seats properly. Mismatched axle and wheel combinations cause binding and early failure.
