Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Raymond models require the RA 828-003-701 spacer?
A: The RA 828-003-701 OEM spacer is designed for the steered idler wheel assembly on Raymond 7400, 7420, 7440, and 7500 series electric pallet trucks. Verify your truck model number matches before ordering to confirm correct fitment.
Q: What material is the RA 828-003-701 spacer made from?
A: The RA 828-003-701 is manufactured from high-strength carbon steel. This material is chosen for dimensional stability and precision alignment in the idler wheel assembly under load and during steering articulation.
Q: What is the function of this spacer in the idler wheel assembly?
A: This spacer maintains precise axial spacing between wheel components and the steering pivot axis. Correct spacing is critical for steering geometry alignment, bearing preload, and even tire wear. Omitting or using an incorrect spacer will degrade steering performance.
Q: What manufacturer and cross-reference part numbers should I use?
A: The manufacturer part number is 828-003-701. The OEM part number is RA 828-003-701. No aftermarket cross-reference numbers are documented, so use the exact OEM part number when ordering.
Q: When should the spacer be replaced?
A: High-strength carbon steel spacers do not typically wear out but must be retained during idler wheel assembly service. Replace the spacer only if it shows visible deformation, rust through-wall, or if dimensions are no longer within specification.
