Q: What is the width specification for the DA B20-97?
A: The DA B20-97 lifting link shaft is manufactured for 27 inch wide pallet jacks. Do not use this shaft on narrower or wider frame sizes, as dimensional mismatch will cause misalignment and lift failure.

Q: What material is the DA B20-97 shaft made from?

Q: How do I know if the DA B20-97 lifting link shaft is damaged?
A: Signs of shaft damage include grinding or cracking sounds during raising, uneven lift height between sides, or difficulty lowering the platform. A bent or broken shaft prevents the load platform from reaching full height and can create unsafe instability.
