A: The LM038688000 is used in manual pallet jack designs from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM brands. Verify your equipment model and serial range before ordering.
Q: What dimensions and material grade is the LM038688000 axle?
A: The LM038688000 axle is steel construction. Verify the exact diameter, length, and threading specifications by comparing to your existing axle or equipment documentation before ordering a replacement.
Q: How does bearing condition affect axle performance?
A: Worn or damaged bearings cause increased friction, noise, and play on the axle shaft. This reduces wheel rotation smoothness and can accelerate axle wear. Regular bearing inspection helps extend axle life.
Q: What indicates the LM038688000 axle needs replacement?
A: Replace the axle if you observe visible bending or deflection, scoring or galling on the shaft surface, damaged threads at mounting points, or excessive lateral play that cannot be corrected by bearing adjustment or seal replacement.
