Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the lever plate on a Dayton pallet jack and what does it do?
A: The lever plate (DA B135-97) is a structural component that interfaces with the hydraulic pump lever mechanism on Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. It distributes operator force to the hydraulic system for load lifting and lowering.
Q: What material is the DA B135-97 lever plate made from?
A: The DA B135-97 is manufactured from structural steel or ductile iron to withstand repeated load cycles and operator force. The material is selected to resist bending and fatigue failure during normal pallet jack operation.
Q: How do I know if the lever plate needs replacement?
A: Replace the lever plate if you notice visible bending or warping, cracks in the material, hydraulic leaks at attachment points, or if the pump lever feels loose or unresponsive during operation. A damaged plate compromises lifting functionality.
Q: Does the DA B135-97 come with fasteners?
A: Verify whether fasteners are included with the DA B135-97 lever plate by checking the product description. If not included separately, you may need to obtain matching bolts and nuts to secure it to your Dayton 4YX97.
Q: Is this lever plate compatible with other pallet jack brands?
A: The DA B135-97 is designed specifically for Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. Do not assume compatibility with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or other brands. Each manufacturer has proprietary lever plate dimensions and attachment methods.
