Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the RA 850-135-635 riser bell crank and what does it do?
A: The RA 850-135-635 is a Raymond OEM riser bell crank, a linkage component in the mast or lift mechanism assembly of electric pallet jacks. It converts and transmits motion from the hydraulic or electric lift system to raise and lower the load arms. It is used in Raymond electric pallet truck series.
Q: Which Raymond pallet jack models use the RA 850-135-635?
A: The RA 850-135-635 is compatible with Raymond electric pallet jacks in the 8300, 8400, and 8500 series. It may also fit earlier Raymond 111, 112, 113, and 114 series models. Verify your exact equipment model and serial number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the RA 850-135-635 made of?
A: The RA 850-135-635 is a steel bell crank component designed for industrial-duty material handling. Steel construction provides the rigidity and fatigue resistance needed to withstand repetitive lift cycles and load stress in commercial pallet truck environments.
Q: What symptoms indicate the RA 850-135-635 may need replacement?
A: Watch for sluggish or uneven mast raising, loss of lift control, jerky lift motion, or audible cracks and grinding during operation. Visible bending, corrosion, or damage to the bell crank will impair lift performance. Replace immediately if damage is detected.
Q: Does the RA 850-135-635 require maintenance?
A: Inspect the riser bell crank periodically for corrosion, cracks, or bending. Keep the component clean and free of debris. Grease or lubricate pivot points as specified in your equipment manual. Service life depends on lift cycle frequency and operating environment. Replace if damage is visible.
