Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BA 94071 pivot pin used for?
A: The BA 94071 is a pivot pin for electric lift truck mast assemblies. It serves as the primary connection point between the mast and carriage, allowing vertical movement while maintaining alignment. This part is engineered for electric lift trucks and handles repeated raise-and-lower cycles.
Q: What equipment does the BA 94071 pivot pin fit?
A: The BA 94071 fits electric lift trucks manufactured by Baker and other OEM brands. Before ordering, verify that your equipment model calls for part number BA 94071 specifically, as mast geometry varies between manufacturers and lift heights.
Q: What causes pivot pin failure?
A: Pivot pins fail due to impact damage from load contact with the mast, excessive side loading during tilted operation, or corrosion in wet environments. Worn bushings or misaligned carriages can accelerate wear. Inspect for bending, cracking, or loss of bearing surface.
Q: What is the material composition?
A: The BA 94071 is manufactured from hardened steel with a polished or zinc-plated finish. Material hardness and surface treatment provide corrosion resistance and wear protection under repetitive loading.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this pivot pin?
A: Lifespan depends on duty cycle and maintenance. In well-maintained equipment with moderate use, expect 5 to 8 years. Heavy-use environments or indoor wet storage may reduce lifespan to 2 to 4 years due to corrosion or impact damage.
