Wedge Washer for Crown Electric Lift Truck

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the CR 060089-008 wedge washer used for?
A: The CR 060089-008 is a wedge washer fastening component for Crown electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Wedge washers are angled fastening components that distribute load and prevent fastener rotation under vibration. This part secures critical structural or mechanical assemblies in material handling equipment.

Q: Which Crown equipment models use the CR 060089-008 wedge washer?
A: The CR 060089-008 is compatible with Crown electric lift trucks and pallet jack models including PE 4000, PE 4500, PR 4500, PW, and Wave. Verify your equipment model, serial range, and specific fastening location to confirm this is the correct wedge washer.

Q: What material is the CR 060089-008 wedge washer?
A: This wedge washer is manufactured from hardened steel to Crown specifications. The material provides durability under load and resistance to vibration-induced loosening. The surface finish protects against corrosion in material handling environments.

Q: How do I identify if the CR 060089-008 wedge washer is worn or needs replacement?
A: Replace the wedge washer if it is flattened, cracked, heavily corroded, or if the fastener it secures becomes loose after tightening. Wedge washers prevent vibration-induced rotation, so a loose fastener indicates the washer is no longer functioning correctly.

Q: Can I substitute a standard flat washer for the CR 060089-008 wedge washer?
A: No. A standard flat washer does not provide the same anti-rotation protection as a wedge washer. Substituting a flat washer will cause the fastener to loosen under vibration. Always use the CR 060089-008 wedge washer to maintain equipment integrity and safety.
