CR 50011-011

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the material and hardness specifications for the CR 50011-011 washer?
A: The CR 50011-011 is manufactured from carbon steel with a chromate corrosion-resistant finish. It meets a minimum Rockwell B70 hardness per OEM flat washer application standards. This hardness level ensures the washer resists deformation under the repeated load cycles typical of manual pallet jack handle and linkage assemblies.

Q: What is the shaft size and load capacity for the CR 50011-011?
A: The CR 50011-011 is designed for 1/2 inch shaft or pin interfaces and is rated for use in assemblies with 5,000 lbs load capacity. This washer provides proper spacing and load distribution on handle or linkage pivot connections that experience repeated lifting and lowering cycles on manual pallet jacks.

Q: Can the CR 50011-011 be used on Crown PTH Series pallet jacks from all serial ranges?
A: The CR 50011-011 is an OEM component for Crown PTH Series manual pallet jacks. Verify that your specific PTH model and serial number are compatible with this part before ordering. Contact us with your equipment serial number if you are uncertain whether this washer fits your pallet jack configuration.

Q: How does the chromate finish on the CR 50011-011 affect durability?
A: The chromate corrosion-resistant finish protects the carbon steel washer from rust and oxidation during storage and in use. This finish is particularly valuable in outdoor environments and where pallet jacks are exposed to moisture. The finish does not affect the washer hardness or load-bearing properties.

Q: What happens if I use a smaller or larger shaft washer than the 1/2 inch CR 50011-011?
A: Using an incorrect shaft size washer will result in improper load distribution, loose connections, and premature wear on the pivot pin or bolt. A washer that is too small or too large cannot maintain proper clamping force in the linkage assembly. Always use the correct OEM part number for your pallet jack model.
