RA 850-138-862-001

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the RA 850-138-862-001 hand grip for?
A: The RA 850-138-862-001 is an OEM hand grip designed for the operator handle assembly on Raymond electric lift trucks. It provides ergonomic control during truck operation and is engineered to reduce operator fatigue during extended shifts.

Q: Which Raymond models use the RA 850-138-862-001 grip?
A: This grip is compatible with select Raymond truck models, primarily targeting their electric pallet jack and walkie platform truck series. Verify your trucks handle assembly configuration before ordering, as different generations may use different grip profiles.

Q: What material is the RA 850-138-862-001 made from?
A: The grip is constructed of thermoplastic with a molded non-slip texture. This combination provides secure hand contact even in wet conditions, chemical splash environments, and cold storage areas without degrading operator control.

Q: How durable is the RA 850-138-862-001 grip?
A: The thermoplastic construction is engineered to withstand daily warehouse use, UV exposure, temperature extremes, and cleaning chemicals. In typical warehouse conditions, expect 2 to 4 years before texture wear reduces non-slip properties, requiring replacement for operator safety.

Q: When should the RA 850-138-862-001 grip be replaced?
A: Replace the grip when the non-slip texture becomes smooth or polished, reducing operator control during wet conditions. Visible cracking or damage also necessitates replacement. A worn grip increases slip hazard during acceleration, braking, or emergency maneuvers.
