Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is washer SKU 0000-86008 manufactured from?
A: This washer is manufactured from ASTM A36 carbon steel, SAE Grade 8, with a minimum Rockwell hardness of C45. This specification ensures high strength, load distribution capability, and resistance to deformation under sustained clamping pressure in high-duty electric lift truck applications.
Q: What fastener size is this washer designed for?
A: Washer SKU 0000-86008 is designed for 1/2 inch fastener applications. Always verify compatibility by checking your equipment documentation or measuring your existing fastener diameter before installation. Do not force a washer onto incorrect fastener sizes as this compromises assembly integrity.
Q: How do I identify if this is the correct washer for my equipment?
A: Cross-reference OEM part number 0000-86008 in your equipment's service manual using your specific lift truck make, model, and serial number. The part number appears on product packaging and documentation. Contact your equipment manufacturer or authorized dealer if you are unsure about compatibility for your exact equipment serial range.
Q: Should this washer be replaced or reused during maintenance?
A: SAE Grade 8 washers in high-duty applications should be replaced during fastener maintenance. Once torqued and subjected to load cycles, the material becomes work-hardened and may develop microscopic surface damage. New washers (SKU 0000-86008) ensure proper clamping force and load distribution for safety-critical assemblies.
Q: What environmental conditions is this washer suitable for?
A: ASTM A36 carbon steel at SAE Grade 8 hardness is suitable for standard industrial material handling environments at normal temperatures. However, this washer is not recommended for prolonged exposure to extreme cold (below -20°F), corrosive chemical environments, or outdoor storage without protective coating. For cold storage or harsh environment applications, verify compatibility before ordering.
Q: Can this washer be used across different lift truck brands?
A: While SKU 0000-86008 is an OEM part manufactured to specific technical standards, compatibility varies by equipment make and model. Always verify the OEM part number matches your specific equipment before ordering. Contact your authorized dealer with your lift truck's make, model, and serial number to confirm this washer is correct for your application.
