Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does pin YL 518360601 fit?
A: This Yale OEM pin fits electric lift truck models MP 040AC and MPB 040AC. It is engineered for 27 inch wide fork bell crank assemblies on these specific models.
Q: What material is pin YL 518360601 made from?
A: Pin YL 518360601 is manufactured from SAE 1045 alloy steel and heat treated for high-wear pivot applications. This grade provides the strength and hardness required for continuous duty steer and fork mechanisms.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for YL 518360601?
A: Direct cross-references include YL518360601, YT518360601, and 518360601. These nomenclature variations represent the same OEM part across Yale documentation systems.
Q: How does heat treatment affect the performance of pin YL 518360601?
A: Heat treatment increases hardness and wear resistance at the pivot point where the pin experiences shear and compressive forces. This extends the service life of the bell crank assembly under continuous duty operation.
Q: What is the functional role of pin YL 518360601 in the fork assembly?
A: This pin serves as a pivot point connecting the bell crank to the fork lift and steer mechanisms. It handles shear forces and wear from repetitive lifting and steering cycles.
Q: How do I verify that pin YL 518360601 is the correct replacement for my Yale lift truck?
A: Confirm your equipment is a Yale MP 040AC or MPB 040AC model. Verify the pin dimensions and bell crank width of 27 inches match your assembly. Contact us to confirm compatibility against your serial number.
