WE A106

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the WE A106 elastic pin used for in a pallet jack?
A: The WE A106 is an OEM spring pin for manual pallet jack hydraulic unit assemblies. It secures linkage connections within the hydraulic subsystem, preventing inadvertent separation or loosening during operation.

Q: What material specification is the WE A106 manufactured to?
A: The WE A106 is manufactured from high-strength spring steel per SAE J403 specification. This material provides the tension and holding force necessary for reliable pin retention in hydraulic applications.

Q: What surface finish does the WE A106 have?
A: The WE A106 has an oiled, plain steel finish without additional coating. This minimal finish provides corrosion protection adequate for indoor pallet jack use but offers limited protection in wet or corrosive environments.

Q: Which Wesco pallet jack models accept the WE A106 spring pin?
A: The WE A106 is engineered for Wesco CPI manual pallet jack hydraulic units. No direct cross-reference part numbers are available from other manufacturers. Verify OEM specifications match before ordering.

Q: How often should the WE A106 spring pin be inspected for wear?
A: Spring pins should be visually inspected for loss of tension, bent slots, or shearing damage during routine pallet jack maintenance. If a pin fails to hold linkage components securely or shows visible distortion, replace it immediately.

Q: Does the WE A106 conform to standard pin specifications?
A: Yes, the WE A106 complies with ANSI B18.8.2 standards for slotted spring pins. This ensures consistent dimensional tolerance and performance with Wesco hydraulic assembly requirements.
