055084-3

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 055084-3 bushing and what does it replace?
A: The 055084-3 is a precision-machined steel bushing that supersedes part number 55084-003 and is interchangeable with Crown part CR 055084-008. It serves as a handle pivot bushing for Crown PTH50 series manual pallet jacks.

Q: What is the bore diameter and material for this bushing?
A: The 055084-3 features a 0.625 inch (5/8 inch) bore diameter and is constructed from precision-machined steel. Steel construction provides extended durability compared to polymer alternatives.

Q: Is this bushing compatible with pallet jacks other than Crown?
A: The 055084-3 is designed for Crown PTH50 pallet jacks. Although similar bushings exist across Toyota, Yale, Hyster, and Raymond equipment, verify bore diameter and mounting location match your specific model before ordering.

Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for this bushing?
A: The 055084-3 supersedes 55084-003, is equivalent to Crown CR 055084-008, and cross-references with replacement part 55084-3. These all fit the same Crown PTH50 pivot location.

Q: How long does a steel bushing typically last compared to polymer?
A: Steel bushings generally offer longer wear life than polymer in high-cycle applications. Actual lifespan depends on load, operator technique, and floor conditions. Replace when handle play becomes excessive or movement becomes stiff.

Q: Does the 055084-3 require lubrication?
A: Steel-to-steel bushing applications may benefit from periodic light lubrication at the pivot point. Consult your Crown PTH50 manual for recommended lubricant type and intervals. Do not over-grease as this attracts debris.
