Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 042138 and what equipment does it fit?
A: The CR 042138 is a left-hand hex nut designed for Crown GPW pallet jacks. It is used on fastening points where a left-hand threaded stud or bolt is present on the equipment.
Q: What is the difference between the CR 042138 and CR 042132?
A: The CR 042138 is a left-hand hex nut while the CR 042132 is a right-hand hex nut. Both are used on Crown GPW pallet jacks but on different fastening locations. Selecting the incorrect hand orientation will result in an improper fit and unsafe fastening.
Q: How do you identify whether you need a right-hand or left-hand hex nut?
A: Examine the threaded stud or bolt on your Crown GPW pallet jack. Right-hand threads tighten clockwise; left-hand threads tighten counterclockwise. Verify your equipment fastening direction before ordering the CR 042138 or CR 042132.
Q: Is the CR 042138 available as a standard or special order item?
A: The CR 042138 is a standard replacement part for Crown GPW pallet jacks. Confirm your equipment uses left-hand fasteners before ordering, as ordering the wrong nut type will delay repairs.
Q: What maintenance does the CR 042138 require?
A: Hex nuts on pallet jacks can loosen due to vibration during normal operation. Periodically inspect the CR 042138 to ensure it remains tight. If stripped threads, corrosion, or visible damage occurs, replace the nut immediately to maintain secure fastening.
