Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EA E114 eye bolt used for on manual pallet jacks?
A: The EA E114 eye bolt serves as an attachment point for linkage components, control handles, or load chains in manual pallet jack assemblies. The looped head allows for pivoting connections and transfer of control forces through the lift mechanism.
Q: What material is the EA E114 eye bolt constructed from?
A: The EA E114 is typically made from forged or cast hardened steel designed to withstand the rotational and tensile loads encountered during jack operation. The robust construction prevents bending or failure under repeated cycling.
Q: Which pallet jack brands and models use the EA E114 eye bolt?
A: The EA E114 is compatible with multiple manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Clark, and similar OEM manufacturers. Verify that the thread size and eye diameter match your specific equipment model.
Q: What symptoms indicate the EA E114 eye bolt is failing?
A: Signs of failure include visible bending or distortion of the eye, cracking at the transition between the eye and threaded shaft, corrosion that weakens the material, or inability to maintain tight connection with linked components causing loose or sluggish jack movement.
Q: How long does the EA E114 eye bolt typically remain serviceable?
A: With normal warehouse use and proper maintenance, the EA E114 typically performs reliably for several years. Lifespan is extended in environments where corrosion is controlled and the jack mechanisms are kept clean and lubricated.
