Q: What lubricants do I use in my Crown or Hamech forklift?
A: It depends. Using the wrong lubricating fluids on your forklift can damage the truck and put the truck’s operator in danger. Check below for the correct forklift fluid specs for various models of Crown and Hamech trucks.
MAX50 (gasoline/LPG engine): G15, G18, and G20(A)(S)HT-20
• engine oil pan = engine oil (SAE 5w-30SJ)
• TORQFLOW transmission case = DEXRON automatic transmission fluid
• differential case = gear oil (SAE80W or 90W)
• hydraulic tank = hydraulic oil ISO #32
• brake reservoir = brake fluid (DOT 3) (SAE7OR-3)
• greasing points = lithium grease (NLGI No. 2)
• cooling system = glycol-based coolant
MBX50 (gasoline/LPG engine): G20, G25, G28, G30, G32(S)(H)T-16, and G35AHT-16
