Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of lockwasher is the 06.16731-2107?
A: The 06.16731-2107 is a split lock washer type fastener, fabricated from carbon steel to industry standards for manual pallet jack assemblies. The split design creates spring tension that maintains bolt security even under repeated vibration.
Q: What is the hardness specification of the 06.16731-2107?
A: The 06.16731-2107 has a minimum Rockwell C35 hardness rating. This level of hardness provides the necessary spring action and resistance to permanent deformation under cyclic loading in pallet jack applications.
Q: Which pallet jack equipment does the 06.16731-2107 fit?
A: This lockwasher is compatible with manual pallet jack assemblies from major OEM manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Clark. Verify your equipment make and model against the OEM parts manual before ordering.
Q: Why do split lock washers prevent bolt loosening?
A: The split lock washer creates continuous spring tension against the bolt and mating surface. As vibration occurs, this spring tension helps prevent backward rotation of the fastener, keeping pallet jack linkage and handle assembly bolts secure in high-use warehouse environments.
Q: Are there alternative part numbers for the 06.16731-2107?
A: No cross-reference numbers are available for the 06.16731-2107. Use this exact OEM part number when ordering to ensure you receive the correct split lock washer for your manual pallet jack assembly.
