AT 2042B

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the AT 2042B and what does it do?
A: The AT 2042B is a steel, case-hardened bushing component used in Atlas manual pallet jack assemblies. It provides rotational support for shaft or linkage movement and is manufactured to OEM specifications for durability.

Q: Which Atlas pallet jack models use the AT 2042B bushing?
A: The AT 2042B is compatible with select Atlas manual pallet jack models. Confirm your equipment model and serial range match before ordering. Alternate part number designations include AT2042B.

Q: What material is the AT 2042B made from?
A: The AT 2042B is manufactured from steel with case-hardening. This heat-treatment process hardens the outer surface while maintaining core toughness, providing wear resistance and extended service life in rotational applications.

Q: Why is the AT 2042B case-hardened?
A: Case-hardening increases surface hardness to resist wear from constant rotation and friction. In pallet jack linkage and shaft support applications, this prevents galling, fretting, and premature bushing failure under repeated load cycles.

Q: How do I know if my AT 2042B bushing needs replacement?
A: Signs of bushing wear include excessive play in the linkage, audible clicking or grinding during operation, and difficulty in smooth pallet jack movement. If the equipment shows these symptoms, the bushing may need replacement to restore proper function.

Q: Is the AT 2042B available under alternative part numbers?
A: The AT 2042B may be referenced as AT2042B in some documentation. When ordering, use SKU AT 2042B to ensure you receive the correct component. If you have an alternate part number, contact us to verify cross-reference compatibility.
