Keeping a lift truck's caster or load wheel pressed firmly to the floor, this Raymond caster spring absorbs shock and holds traction as the truck moves over uneven surfaces and dock plates, its tension keeping the wheel in contact through turns and load changes. As it fatigues it loses free length and softens, letting the wheel skip, chatter, or lose contact, and a fresh spring restores the designed ride height.
A caster spring keeps a lift truck's caster or load wheel pressed firmly to the floor, absorbing shock and holding traction as the truck moves over uneven surfaces and transitions like dock plates. Raymond uses this spring in the caster assembly, where its tension holds the wheel in contact and keeps the truck stable through turns and load changes.
Springs are a wear item: over thousands of cycles the coil fatigues, loses free length, and softens, and a weak caster spring lets the wheel skip, chatter, or lose contact, which shows up as instability or uneven wheel wear. Replacing it restores the designed ride height and wheel loading. As a Raymond original, it matches the wire diameter, free length, and rate the caster assembly was engineered for.
