Crown Axle CR073962-004 – E-3983

Serves as an axle on Crown electric lift trucks, carrying a wheel and holding it aligned within the frame or fork as the truck rolls under load. Crown produces this axle within the 73962 family, which spans several dimensionally distinct variants, so the shaft must match the exact size the truck was built with. The axle seats through the wheel bearing bore and takes the rolling and steering loads transferred from the wheel into the chassis. A worn or scored axle shows up as wheel play, rough rolling, or repeated bearing failure. Replacing the axle together with the wheel and bearings restores proper fit. When matching a replacement, compare the axle diameter and overall length against the shaft you are removing, since neighboring variants differ.
