Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the EA E143 handle axle?
A: The EA E143 handle axle measures 12mm diameter x 120mm effective length, with a machined keyway and threaded end. It is constructed from medium-carbon steel (AISI 1045) and designed to withstand torsional stresses from operator steering input on manual pallet jacks.
Q: Which pallet jack models is the EA E143 compatible with?
A: The EA E143 fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. This is a universal handle steering axle suitable for most 2000-3000 lb capacity models. Confirm the keyway width and thread pitch on your equipment before ordering.
Q: What is the material and tensile strength of this handle axle?
A: The EA E143 is forged from medium-carbon steel AISI 1045 with a tensile strength of 570-700 MPa. The axle is machined to tight tolerances to minimize steering slop. This material provides resistance to bending and shear forces under full-load steering conditions.
Q: How often should the EA E143 handle axle be inspected or replaced?
A: Inspect the EA E143 every 12 months for signs of bending, corrosion, or keyway wear. In high-use environments, expect service life of 3-5 years. Replace immediately if you notice steering resistance, play in the handle assembly, or visible cracks at the base where torsional stress is highest.
