Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the HY 2040196 lower link pivot pin used for?
A: The HY 2040196 is a lower link pivot pin designed as a direct-fit OEM replacement for Hyster electric lift trucks. It connects the lower link assembly to the mast carriage, allowing vertical articulation during mast raise and lower cycles. This is a critical structural component in the load path of the truck.

Q: What material is the HY 2040196 constructed from?
A: The HY 2040196 is manufactured from high-strength steel with an industrial-grade finish coating designed for material handling environments. This composition provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeated load cycles in forklift service.

Q: Which Hyster models use the HY 2040196 pivot pin?
A: The HY 2040196 is engineered as an OEM part for Hyster electric lift trucks. Verify the exact model compatibility by cross-referencing Hyster part number 2040196 against your equipment documentation or serial range before ordering.

Q: How long does a lower link pivot pin typically last in service?
A: Pivot pin lifespan depends on duty cycle, load weights, and storage conditions. High-strength steel pins like the HY 2040196 generally last thousands of operating hours. Replace if you notice binding, lateral movement at the pin, or visible cracks in the pivot boss area.

Q: Is the HY 2040196 equivalent to any other part numbers?
A: The HY 2040196 carries OEM part number 2040196. When ordering, always specify the full SKU to ensure correct fitment, as pivot pins are application-specific and dimensions vary across lift truck brands and models.
