I used to turn wrenches at a factory that had about 30 forklifts, about a half a dozen with a 10,000 capacity. The masts for these largest lifts took a fairly hefty bearing and the management always complained about the price of the American-made ones that we ordered. One day, a big-wig in management decided to save us some money by finding a source for off-branded Chinese-made bearings of the same dimension. Except we started to replace these bearings frequently. It turned out that the Chinese bearings had fewer rollers in them, so each roller was carrying more of the load and bearing failure was happening early. Ever change these bearings on a multi-stage lift of this capacity? It takes time and manpower, not to mention downtime on a lift that was used about 18 hours a day. Management soon got smart and started ordered the good bearings again and the frequency that we replaced these bearings again went way down.
