Bearing Assembly Single Shield

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What equipment does the 43204TT bearing assembly fit?
A: The 43204TT is a single shield bearing assembly designed for manual pallet jacks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Verify your equipment model and bearing bore diameter match before ordering, as bearing fitment varies by jack design and age.

Q: What does single shield mean on the 43204TT bearing?
A: Single shield indicates the bearing has a protective cover on one side only. This design allows grease access and is typical for load wheel applications where debris protection is needed without fully sealing the bearing. The shield helps keep contaminants out while allowing the bearing to be serviced.

Q: How long does a 43204TT bearing typically last?
A: Bearing lifespan depends on load, maintenance, and operating conditions. In standard indoor manual pallet jack use, sealed or shielded bearings typically last 3 to 5 years. Wet environments, heavy use, or poor maintenance reduce lifespan. Regular greasing and inspection of the load wheel assembly extend bearing life.

Q: What are the material specifications for the 43204TT?
A: The 43204TT uses hardened steel races and ball elements with a steel cage. The single shield is typically stamped steel with elastomer seal material. This construction provides corrosion resistance and durability for typical indoor material handling operations.

Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the 43204TT?
A: Cross-reference part numbers vary by OEM. Check your pallet jack documentation for the original equipment bearing part number. Contact us directly with your equipment brand and model, and we can confirm compatibility and identify equivalent bearing assemblies.
