Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BI 02004204 torsion tube used for?
A: The BI 02004204 is a torsion tube assembly that is a structural component of the lift and lowering mechanism in Bishamon manual pallet jacks. It transmits rotational force from the handle to the mast and fork lifting system.
Q: Which Bishamon pallet jack models use the BI 02004204 torsion tube?
A: The BI 02004204 is designed for Bishamon BS-55 series manual pallet jacks. Confirm your equipment model and serial range in your parts manual before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What material is the BI 02004204 torsion tube made from?
A: The BI 02004204 is manufactured from steel tubing designed to withstand torsional stress and repeated loading cycles typical in manual pallet jack operation. The steel composition provides strength and resistance to bending or permanent deformation.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BI 02004204 torsion tube is failing?
A: Signs of failure include stiffness or resistance when operating the handle pump, uneven or jerky lifting action, unusual grinding or squeaking noises during lift, or visible twisting or bending of the tube. If the jack refuses to lift or lower smoothly, the torsion tube may be bent or cracked.
