Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the DA B18-97 pin in my pallet jack?
A: The DA B18-97 is a structural pin used in the lift mechanism of Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. It maintains alignment and articulation between lift arms and frame components during operation.
Q: Which Dayton pallet jack models use the DA B18-97 pin?
A: The DA B18-97 is designed exclusively for Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. Do not substitute this pin on other equipment models or brands, as dimensional and load specifications may not match.
