Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the CR 087473 primary brake shoe fit?
A: The CR 087473 is a primary brake shoe for Crown reach trucks, pallet jacks, walkie trucks, and electric lift trucks. This brake shoe is used in drum brake assemblies on Crown electric lift equipment.
Q: What is the friction material on the CR 087473 brake shoe?
A: The CR 087473 features an asbestos-free bonded friction lining bonded to a high-tensile arc-segment steel backing. The friction material composition meets Crown factory specifications for hydraulic drum brake systems.
Q: Is the CR 087473 interchangeable with other part numbers?
A: The CR 087473 is equivalent to CR087473NA and interchanges with Total Source 087473. Verify that alternate part numbers are for the same brake system type and load rating before substitution.
Q: What is the service life of a CR 087473 brake shoe?
A: Brake shoe life depends on truck load cycles, operator technique, and brake system maintenance. Periodically inspect shoes for friction material thickness and bonding integrity. Replace when lining thickness approaches minimum or bonding fails.
Q: How do I know when to replace the CR 087473 brake shoe?
A: Replace the CR 087473 if brake response becomes sluggish, if you observe metal-to-metal contact between shoe and drum, if friction lining is worn unevenly, or if lining has bonding separation or delamination.
Q: How should I store unused CR 087473 brake shoes?
A: Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from moisture and extreme heat. Keep brake shoes in original packaging until installation to protect friction lining from damage and contamination.
Q: Does the CR 087473 come as a paired set?
A: This is typically a single primary shoe. Most drum brake systems require both primary and secondary shoes. Verify your specific brake assembly requirements and consult your Crown service manual for your model to confirm whether secondary shoes are also needed.
