Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BT 20345 and what is its function?
A: The BT 20345 is an OEM hydraulic unit filler plug designed for BT manual pallet jacks. It provides a sealed entry point to the hydraulic reservoir for adding or checking hydraulic fluid level. Proper fitment ensures the reservoir remains sealed and protected from contamination.
Q: Which BT pallet jack models accept the BT 20345 filler plug?
A: The BT 20345 is compatible with BT L2000, L2300, L2000-U, and L2300-U manual pallet jacks. Confirm your model designation before ordering to ensure correct fitment to your hydraulic reservoir.
Q: Can I use a generic filler plug instead of the BT 20345?
A: No. Use the OEM BT 20345 filler plug. A non-OEM or generic plug may not seal properly, allowing hydraulic fluid to leak or allowing contaminants to enter the reservoir. This compromises hydraulic system function and can cause damage to pumps and cylinders. Always use BT 20345 for replacement.
Q: What material and finish does the BT 20345 filler plug have?
A: Specific material and finish details for the BT 20345 should be verified against the OEM technical documentation. Typical filler plugs are constructed from zinc-plated or plain steel with elastomer seals to provide corrosion resistance and a watertight fit.
Q: What maintenance does the BT 20345 filler plug require?
A: Inspect the BT 20345 periodically for corrosion, damage, or sealing degradation. If you observe hydraulic fluid leaking around the plug or if the plug no longer seals tightly, replace it immediately. Do not attempt to repair or reuse a damaged filler plug, as a poor seal will allow hydraulic contamination and fluid loss.
