YL 5001209-03

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes this bearing different from a standard 25mm bearing?
A: The YL 5001209-03 features one rubber shield integrated into the bearing design. This shield provides protection from dirt, moisture, and debris ingestion, which is essential in warehouse environments where manual pallet jacks operate on varied flooring and outdoor surfaces. The rubber shield helps extend bearing lifespan by reducing contamination.

Q: Which Yale manual pallet jack models use this bearing?
A: The YL 5001209-03 is specifically designed for Yale manual pallet jack model 6600. Verify your equipment model number on the truck frame or in your maintenance documentation before ordering, as using the wrong bearing can cause misalignment or premature failure.

Q: What is the bore size of this bearing?
A: This is a 25mm bearing, meaning the inner bore diameter is 25mm. This dimension must match your equipment shaft. Measure the shaft diameter on your manual pallet jack if you are unsure.

Q: Why does this bearing have a rubber shield if it is on a manual pallet jack?
A: Manual pallet jack wheels and load-carrying mechanisms operate close to the ground and flooring. The rubber shield on the YL 5001209-03 protects against water, salt residue, metal dust, and other contaminants common in loading docks, cold storage, and outdoor receiving areas. Sealed bearings last longer and reduce maintenance frequency.

Q: Is there a cross-reference part number for this bearing?
A: The YL 5001209-03 may be cross-referenced in OEM documentation or aftermarket catalogs. Confirm the exact part number with your maintenance records or equipment manual if ordering a replacement.
