A: The DA B118-97 handle pivot pin is designed for Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model matches before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Q: What material is this handle pivot pin made from?
A: This part is manufactured from hardened steel to withstand repeated stress cycles and support the full load capacity of the pallet jack during daily operation.

Q: When should the handle pivot pin be replaced?
A: Replace this pin if you notice excessive play or movement in the handle assembly, difficulty with smooth pivoting action, visible cracks or deformation, or if it falls out during operation. These are signs of wear or failure.

Q: Does this part require maintenance?
A: Periodically inspect the pivot pin for corrosion or damage. Keep the surrounding area clean and dry to prevent rust accumulation. No lubrication is needed at the pin itself, but ensure the pivot joint operates smoothly.
