Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of roller shaft 758-1014 in lift trucks?
A: This roller shaft is a structural component in lift truck load handling systems, typically used as a roller or guide in the load backrest, cargo roller path, or mast assembly. It supports and guides loads during lift and lower operations under continuous industrial duty.
Q: Which electric lift truck and pallet jack models use this roller shaft?
A: This roller shaft is compatible with electric lift trucks and pallet jacks from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Linde, and similar models. Verify the roller diameter, shaft length, and mounting configuration against your equipment manual before ordering.
Q: What is the material composition of this roller shaft?
A: This roller shaft is manufactured from forged or machined alloy steel with a hardened roller surface. The steel core provides strength and load-carrying capacity, while the roller surface is hardened to resist wear and deformation under continuous rolling contact.
Q: What are the diameter and length specifications of this roller shaft?
A: The roller diameter, shaft length, and end configurations (keyway, bore size, or spline) must match your specific lift truck application. Verify these dimensions against your OEM parts diagram or equipment documentation to ensure correct fitment to mating components.
Q: What maintenance does this roller shaft require during service?
A: Inspect the roller regularly for wear flats, cracking, or surface spalling from load contact. Keep the shaft and roller clean of debris and buildup. Lubrication of the shaft bearing surfaces depends on your equipment design. Follow the OEM maintenance schedule for greasing intervals and lubricant type.
Q: What symptoms indicate wear or failure of this roller shaft?
A: Signs of wear include visible flattening or spalling on the roller surface, grinding or squealing during load movement, lateral play or deflection of the shaft, or scoring on the roller. Excessive wear reduces load control and typically requires roller shaft replacement.
