Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DA B20-97 lifting link shaft used for?
A: The DA B20-97 is a lifting link shaft that connects the hydraulic lift mechanism to the load platform in Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. It transmits force to raise and lower the forks during operation. This part is sized for wide jack frames.
Q: What is the width specification for the DA B20-97?
A: The DA B20-97 lifting link shaft is manufactured for wide pallet jacks. Do not use this shaft on narrower or wider frame sizes, as dimensional mismatch will cause misalignment and lift failure.
Q: Which Dayton pallet jack models use the DA B20-97?
A: The DA B20-97 is designed for Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks with platform width. Verify both the model number and frame width before ordering to ensure correct fit.
Q: What material is the DA B20-97 shaft made from?
A: The DA B20-97 lifting link shaft is fabricated from hardened steel to withstand repetitive bending and tension loads under full load conditions. The shaft is precision-machined to ensure smooth engagement with lift mechanism components.
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.
Q: What should I do if my DA B20-97 shaft is bent or cracked?
A: A damaged lifting link shaft cannot be safely repaired by bending, welding, or straightening. The shaft must be replaced to restore safe operation. Contact us to order a replacement DA B20-97 sized for your wide frame.
