Shoulder Bolt
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the shoulder bolt EA E111 used for on manual pallet jacks?
A: The EA E111 shoulder bolt is a fastening component used in the pivot and hinge assemblies of manual pallet jacks. It provides a fixed-diameter shoulder that seats against components to ensure precise alignment and load transfer during lifting operations.
Q: What material is the EA E111 shoulder bolt made from?
A: The EA E111 is typically constructed from hardened steel or alloy steel to withstand repeated stress cycles and support loads common to material handling equipment. The hardened composition resists deformation under the compression and shear forces present in pallet jack mechanisms.
Q: Which pallet jack brands is the EA E111 shoulder bolt compatible with?
A: The EA E111 fits multiple standard manual pallet jack models across common OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Clark, and similar equipment manufacturers. Verify the exact dimension and thread specification against your equipment documentation before ordering.
Q: How long does the EA E111 shoulder bolt typically last before replacement is needed?
A: The lifespan depends on operating conditions and load frequency. Under normal warehouse use with proper maintenance, the EA E111 can perform for several years. If you observe excessive play, visible cracking, or rust formation at the shoulder, replacement is necessary.
Q: What symptoms indicate the EA E111 shoulder bolt needs replacement?
A: Common failure indicators include loose pivot movement, rattling or knocking during jack operation, visible separation between the bolt shoulder and mating components, corrosion or pitting on the shoulder diameter, or inability to maintain tight assembly after retightening.
