Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 6408468-63 used for?
A: SKU 6408468-63 is a shaft component used in electric lift truck drive units, steering assemblies, or load support mechanisms. Shafts transmit rotational force and must be precisely aligned.
Q: Is this shaft compatible with Crown, Toyota, or Raymond lift trucks?
A: This shaft is designed for electric lift truck applications. Verify your equipment model and serial range match before ordering. Contact us with your model number for exact compatibility confirmation.
Q: What happens if this shaft becomes bent or corroded?
A: A bent shaft will cause misalignment, vibration, and uneven load distribution, leading to premature bearing and seal failure. Corrosion reduces strength and increases breakage risk. Replace the shaft if damage is visible or if you observe grinding noises during operation.
Q: How often does a shaft typically need replacement?
A: Under normal lift truck duty, a shaft can last many years. Lifespan depends on load, environment, and alignment. Corrosive environments (cold storage, washdown areas) reduce lifespan. Inspect annually for wear or corrosion.
