Locking Nut for Forklift

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of the 316835 locking nut?
A: The 316835 is a locking nut designed to prevent fastener loosening from vibration and movement. It is used in forklift assemblies to secure components such as mast sections, load wheels, and safety mechanisms.

Q: What forklift brands does the 316835 locking nut fit?
A: This locking nut is compatible with forklifts from Toyota, Hyster, Yale, Raymond, Jungheinrich, and Linde. Verify your specific model and load capacity to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the 316835 and a standard nut?
A: Locking nuts contain a nylon insert or deformed threads that create friction and resist vibration-induced loosening. This prevents components from separating during operation, improving safety and reliability.

Q: Can the 316835 locking nut be reused?
A: Nylon-insert locking nuts lose clamping effectiveness after multiple uses. Replace the nut each time you remove and reapply it to maintain vibration resistance and component security.

Q: What thread size is the 316835?
A: Confirm the thread diameter, pitch, and measurement standard (metric or UNC) from your forklift parts diagram before ordering. Using an incorrect size will result in fitment failure and safety risk.

Q: Is the 316835 safe for load-bearing applications?
A: Yes. Locking nuts are designed specifically for load-bearing and high-vibration forklift applications. They meet OEM standards for structural integrity and safety when properly sized and installed.
