Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the caster wheel shim and what does it do?
A: The caster wheel shim is a precision component used to adjust wheel alignment and spacing on idler caster assemblies. Shims maintain proper load distribution and tracking on Raymond electric lift trucks and reach trucks, ensuring smooth operation and optimal tire life.
Q: What material is this caster wheel shim manufactured from?
A: This shim is manufactured from hardened steel with a nominal thickness. The steel composition provides rigidity and durability under the compression loads typical of caster wheel assemblies.
Q: Which Raymond equipment models use this caster wheel shim?
A: This shim is compatible with Raymond 7400 Reach Truck idler wheel assemblies. Verify shim thickness requirements match your specific equipment configuration before ordering.
Q: What is the dimensional tolerance of this caster wheel shim?
A: The shim has a nominal thickness. Precision manufacturing ensures consistent thickness across the shim surface to maintain proper caster alignment when installed with idler wheel assemblies.
Q: Why would I need multiple caster wheel shims?
A: Shims are stacked to achieve the exact spacing and alignment tolerance required by your Raymond lift truck design. You may need multiple shims if caster assembly adjustment requires greater overall shim thickness than a single shim provides.
