Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a grease fitting and why is it important on fork lift equipment?
A: A grease fitting (also called a zerk fitting) is a lubrication port that allows technicians to inject grease into bearing and hinge assemblies on fork lifts. The SY26319 fitting enables regular maintenance that reduces friction, wear, and corrosion on mast joints, pivot points, and load wheel assemblies.
Q: What thread size and connection style does the SY26319 grease fitting have?
A: The SY26319 is a straight or angled grease fitting with metric or imperial thread sizing. Confirm the thread pitch and diameter required for your fork lift assembly before ordering. Reference the existing fitting or equipment documentation for exact specifications.
Q: Which fork lift brands and models use the SY26319 grease fitting?
A: The SY26319 fits multiple electric and manual fork lift equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. This fitting is used in mast assemblies, load wheels, and pivot joints. Verify the equipment model and assembly location before purchasing.
Q: What type of grease should be used with this fitting, and how often should it be serviced?
A: Use NLGI Grade 2 lithium or multipurpose grease compatible with your equipment manufacturer specifications. Service intervals typically range from 250 to 500 operating hours for high-cycle warehouse use, or every 6-12 months for standard industrial service. Cold storage and outdoor equipment may require more frequent greasing.
Q: How do I know if a grease fitting needs to be replaced?
A: Replace the grease fitting if it is cracked, damaged, or will not accept a grease gun coupler due to corrosion or stripped threads. A damaged fitting prevents proper lubrication and can lead to accelerated bearing wear.
