Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is CT 973393 and what does a spring set do in a lift truck?
A: CT 973393 is a 4-piece spring set for Caterpillar electric lift trucks. Springs provide tension and support in motor assemblies, solenoid actuators, brake systems, or load mechanisms. Worn or failed springs reduce component performance and may cause safety hazards.
Q: Which Caterpillar systems and components use CT 973393 spring sets?
A: Provide your lift truck model and specify which component is experiencing issues (motor, brake, solenoid, load wheel assembly) to confirm CT 973393 is the correct spring set. Caterpillar lift trucks use multiple spring configurations across different subsystems.
Q: What material and spring rate are specified for CT 973393?
A: Caterpillar spring sets are typically hardened steel rated for high-cycle industrial operation. Spring rate and free length vary by application. Provide your equipment model and component location so we can confirm the exact spring material, rate, and dimensional specifications.
Q: What causes springs to fail and require replacement?
A: Springs weaken and lose tension from cyclic fatigue, corrosion, overloading, or exposure to extreme temperatures. Replace CT 973393 when springs no longer provide adequate tension, when you notice component sagging or misalignment, or when springs are visibly cracked or deformed.
Q: How do I know CT 973393 is the right spring set for my equipment?
A: Identify the component that requires spring replacement (motor assembly, brake system, solenoid, or other subsystem) and provide your lift truck model number. We will confirm the correct spring set, spring rate, and specifications. Using incorrect springs affects component performance and safety.
