Bushing Htx for Pallet Jacks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is bushing A000038279 used for in material handling equipment?
A: This HTX bushing is a load-bearing component used in pallet jacks, lift tables, and manual material handling equipment. It provides radial support in pivot points and articulation areas where rotation or movement occurs under load.

Q: What equipment brands use this A000038279 bushing?
A: This bushing fits multiple brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar manual and electric pallet jack models. Verify your equipment serial range and model number against the compatibility chart before ordering.

Q: What material is the A000038279 bushing made from?
A: The HTX designation indicates a composite or reinforced polymer material designed to handle sustained radial loads while reducing metal-to-metal friction. It resists wear under typical warehouse conditions and does not require lubrication.

Q: How long does the A000038279 bushing typically last before replacement?
A: Service life depends on load frequency and operating conditions. Under normal warehouse use with standard loads, expect 2 to 4 years. High-cycle operations or overloaded equipment may reduce lifespan. Replace when you notice play, noise, or excessive movement at the attachment point.

Q: Can I cross-reference or substitute another bushing for A000038279?
A: Cross-reference by bore diameter, outer diameter, and length. Similar OEM bushings exist across brands, but HTX material provides specific load and wear characteristics. Always verify dimensions match your equipment specification before substituting.

Q: What are signs that bushing A000038279 needs replacement?
A: Replace the bushing if you observe lateral movement or play at the attachment point, grinding or creaking sounds during operation, or visible wear on the outer surface. Worn bushings reduce equipment stability and can lead to component damage.
