Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the WE 273008 bushing and what does it do?
A: The WE 273008 is an OEM bushing for Wesco CPI series manual pallet jacks. Bushings reduce friction between moving parts, typically in the mast or frame assembly. They support smooth operation of the lift mechanism and prevent metal-to-metal wear that would cause binding or excessive play.

Q: Which Wesco pallet jack models use the WE 273008 bushing?
A: The WE 273008 bushing is engineered specifically for Wesco CPI series manual pallet jacks. This bushing assembly fits the standard frame configuration and pivot points used in this model line. Verify your equipment is CPI series before ordering.

Q: What material is the WE 273008 bushing made from?
A: The WE 273008 is constructed from a durable polymer or bronze composite material designed to withstand the cycling stresses of manual pallet jack operation. This material provides low-friction performance and resists wear from repeated pivoting and steering movements common in warehouse environments.

Q: How do I know if the WE 273008 bushing needs replacement?
A: Replace the WE 273008 if you observe play or looseness in the mast assembly, excessive rattling during movement, or rough grinding sounds when operating the lift mechanism. Worn bushings cause the mast to bind or not return smoothly to vertical, indicating replacement is required.

Q: What is the cross-reference information for the WE 273008?
A: The WE 273008 is the OEM part number. When ordering this bushing for your Wesco CPI series pallet jack, reference WE 273008 to ensure compatibility. This is the standard identifier used by parts suppliers and technicians for this specific bushing assembly.
