Crown Spring Adjusting Plate – CR120856

Crown makes this spring adjusting plate as the component that sets and holds a spring's position in the assembly it belongs to on Crown electric lift trucks, giving the spring a fixed seat and the means to adjust its preload rather than leaving tension to chance. At about 3.5 pounds, it is a solid plate built to hold its setting under the constant force a working spring puts against it.

The job of an adjusting plate is to keep spring tension where it was set. Over time and under repeated loading a plate can wear at its contact points or lose its adjustment, and when that happens the spring no longer holds the force the mechanism depends on, so the plate is replaced to restore correct, repeatable tension.

Because it is a Crown part built for Crown lift trucks, it corresponds to the original by design. When fitting, check the plate's mounting and its spring seat against the piece coming off, since the seat position is what determines the tension the spring delivers. Forklifts Etc. carries it as a direct replacement for the Crown original.
