Q: What is the difference between BJ 1120-131000-0A and BJ 1120-131000-00?
A: The BJ 1120-131000-0A is a later revision of the BJ 1120-131000-00 pivot shaft. The 0A suffix indicates a newer generation or revised specification. Match the revision letter to your equipment serial number and build date to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What equipment is the BJ 1120-131000-0A compatible with?
A: The BJ 1120-131000-0A pivot shaft is an OEM component for Big Joe WPT45 electric pallet trucks. Compatibility depends on your specific equipment serial number and manufacturing revision. Contact us with your serial number to confirm the correct pivot shaft revision.
Q: Can I use BJ 1120-131000-00 and BJ 1120-131000-0A interchangeably?
A: Do not assume these revisions are interchangeable. Dimensions, bore size, or mounting configuration may differ between revision 00 and revision 0A. Verify your equipment build date and serial number range to select the correct revision. Installing an incorrect revision can cause fitment problems or operational issues.
Q: How long does the BJ 1120-131000-0A pivot shaft typically last?
A: Pivot shaft lifespan depends on equipment usage intensity, maintenance, and storage conditions. In typical warehouse operations, a properly maintained pivot shaft lasts several years. Heavy steering demand, extreme temperatures, or lack of maintenance can reduce component life.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BJ 1120-131000-0A needs replacement?
A: Replace the pivot shaft if steering response becomes stiff or requires excessive effort. Replace if the truck pulls to one side, or if tilt and lower operations become jerky or unresponsive. Visible bending or cracks in the shaft require immediate replacement.
