Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of the AT Z-1207 Shoulder Bolt?
A: The AT Z-1207 shoulder bolt is a precision fastener used in Atlas Zenith Type 9 pallet jacks to provide a fixed pivot or connection point for moving assemblies. The stepped diameter design allows controlled play and alignment in linkage mechanisms.

Q: Which Atlas models use the AT Z-1207 Shoulder Bolt?
A: The AT Z-1207 is designed for Atlas Zenith Type 9 and Zenith 9 manual pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model number before ordering to ensure correct fitment and compatibility.

Q: What makes a shoulder bolt different from a standard bolt?
A: The AT Z-1207 shoulder bolt has a larger diameter shaft section (shoulder) behind the threaded portion. This design provides a fixed bearing surface for bushings or linkage arms while the threaded end secures to the frame or component. This allows precise control of movement and eliminates play.

Q: What are the material specifications for the AT Z-1207?
A: The AT Z-1207 shoulder bolt is manufactured from hardened steel and typically features corrosion-resistant plating or coating to withstand warehouse and outdoor environments. The hardened construction provides strength under rotational and shear stress.

Q: When should the AT Z-1207 Shoulder Bolt be replaced?
A: Replace the shoulder bolt if you notice excessive movement or play in the linkage, visible damage to the shoulder section, stripped threads, corrosion that affects fit, or if bushings or linkage components are damaged. A worn shoulder bolt will compromise the precision of the lifting mechanism.

Q: What cross-reference part numbers should I know for the AT Z-1207?
A: The AT Z-1207 corresponds to OEM manufacturer part number Z-1207. Use this reference when ordering from Atlas or cross-referencing against assembly diagrams for Zenith Type 9 pallet jacks.
