Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What manual pallet jack equipment does shim 220019322 fit?
A: Shim 220019322 is designed for manual hydraulic pallet jacks from standard manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Shims are used to adjust clearances and alignment in mast assemblies, pump housings, and load-bearing components. Verify your equipment model and component dimensions match before ordering.
Q: What is the material composition of shim 220019322?
A: This shim is manufactured from hardened steel to provide stable thickness and prevent compression under load. Steel shims resist deformation from repeated hydraulic pressure cycling and maintain consistent clearance adjustments throughout the service life of the pallet jack. The material ensures dimensional stability in critical alignment applications.
Q: What is the typical thickness and dimensions of shim 220019322?
A: Shims are precision-ground components available in various thicknesses, typically ranging from 0.005 inches to 0.250 inches depending on the specific application. Shim 220019322 is designed for a particular assembly location requiring a specific thickness for proper alignment. Contact us with your equipment model and assembly location to confirm the exact dimensions needed.
Q: How does shim 220019322 affect pallet jack performance?
A: Shims adjust clearances between mast sections, guide rollers, and pump assemblies. Correct shimming prevents binding during lift and lower cycles, reduces noise, improves load stability, and extends component life. Improper shimming can cause uneven load distribution, mast wobbling, or accelerated wear of adjacent parts.
Q: Can shim 220019322 be reused after removal?
A: Steel shims can typically be reused if they show no visible deformation, cracks, or warping. However, if a shim was removed due to alignment problems or wear of adjacent components, replacement shims should be used to ensure proper reassembly. Measure the original shim thickness and compare it to your current clearance gap before reusing.
