BO 60161

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BO 60161 bushing used for?
A: The BO 60161 is a direct-fit replacement bushing for pivot assemblies on Boman manual pallet jacks. It reduces friction between moving components, absorbs wear, and maintains precise alignment of lift mechanisms during repeated loading and lowering cycles.

Q: What material is the BO 60161 bushing made from?
A: The BO 60161 is machined from polymer composite materials with a natural polymer finish. Polymer composite construction provides extended wear resistance while reducing noise and maintenance compared to metal bushings.

Q: Which Boman pallet jack models use the BO 60161 bushing?
A: The BO 60161 is designed for Boman pallet jack model 60161 and compatible variants. This bushing fits pivot assemblies on manual jacks matching that specification. Verify your equipment documentation to confirm the correct bushing part number.

Q: How long does a polymer composite bushing like the BO 60161 typically last?
A: Polymer composite bushings typically provide 2 to 5 years of service under standard warehouse conditions with regular use. Lifespan depends on load frequency, operating environment, and maintenance practices. Replace when visible wear occurs, play develops at pivot points, or the jack becomes difficult to operate.

Q: Does the BO 60161 fit pallet jacks from other manufacturers?
A: The BO 60161 is engineered exclusively for Boman pallet jack pivot assemblies. Bushings from other brands such as Crown or Toyota cannot be substituted, as dimensions and bore specifications do not match Boman equipment.
