Q: What is the thread size and fitting type of the W54259 grease fittings?
A: The W54259 contains standard 1/4-inch NPT tapered thread grease fittings with a standard 45-degree angled head design. This is the most common size used across forklift models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and CAT.

Q: What material are the W54259 grease fittings made from?
A: The W54259 fittings are made from zinc-plated steel with a spring-loaded ball check mechanism. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet warehouse and outdoor environments. The ball check prevents grease from backing out when the grease gun is disconnected.

A: Grease fittings typically require replacement every 1-2 years depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions. Replace immediately if the fitting leaks, is stripped, or the ball check fails to retain grease pressure.
Q: What type of grease should I use with the W54259 fittings?
A: Use NLGI Grade 2 lithium or polyurea-based multipurpose grease formulated for material handling equipment. Consult your forklift manual for specific grease viscosity and thickener type to ensure proper lubrication performance at the load wheel and steering points.
