Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EA A117 bracket assembly and what does it do?
A: The EA A117 is a left and right bracket pair with bushings included for Eagleman Model A manual pallet jacks. Brackets connect the pump assembly or handle linkage to the main frame, while bushings provide wear-resistant mounting points that allow smooth articulation without metal-to-metal contact.
Q: What equipment does the EA A117 bracket pair fit?
A: The EA A117 is compatible with manual pallet jacks manufactured by Eagleman, Model A units. This is a complete left/right pair, so you receive both bracket assemblies with all required bushings in one purchase.
Q: Does the EA A117 include bushings?
A: Yes, the EA A117 includes bushings as part of the complete bracket assembly. Bushings are pre-installed or supplied with the brackets, reducing the need to source components separately and ensuring compatibility.
Q: What materials are the EA A117 brackets and bushings made from?
A: The EA A117 brackets are constructed from welded or forged steel for strength. Bushings are typically composed of rubber or polymer material designed to dampen vibration and prevent metal-to-metal wear during pump operation and load cycles.
Q: What symptoms indicate the EA A117 brackets or bushings need replacement?
A: Replace the EA A117 if you observe metal-to-metal noise at the mounting points, visible separation of brackets from the frame, loss of rigidity in the pump or handle assembly, or visible deterioration of rubber bushings. Worn bushings allow excessive movement that compromises pump efficiency and control.
Q: How long do the EA A117 brackets and bushings typically last?
A: In standard warehouse use, EA A117 brackets last many years. Bushings degrade faster, typically requiring replacement every 3 to 5 years depending on load frequency and environmental conditions such as temperature or corrosive exposure.
