Product Description
The 401042 is a precision collar spacer designed for manual pallet jack wheel axle assemblies. This steel or aluminum spacer maintains exact spacing and alignment between wheel components on both load wheels and steer wheel axles, ensuring smooth operation and even load distribution across the equipment. Compatible with manual pallet jacks from multiple leading manufacturers, the 401042 is an essential component for maintaining proper wheel alignment and preventing premature wear. When wheels develop wobble, binding, or uneven tire wear, a worn spacer is often the culprit—replacing it restores smooth, reliable performance.
