Lower link pin
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HY 2308735 lower link pin?
A: The HY 2308735 is a hardened steel pin that connects the lower link arm to the chassis on Hyster electric pallet jacks. It provides the pivot point for the lift mast assembly.
Q: Which Hyster models use the HY 2308735 link pin?
A: The HY 2308735 fits Hyster W40 series electric pallet jacks, including W40XL and W40XT models. Cross-check your equipment model before ordering.
Q: What material is the lower link pin made from?
A: The HY 2308735 is manufactured from hardened alloy steel and zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. The hardened surface resists wear from repetitive pivoting and load cycling.
Q: What wear symptoms indicate the link pin needs replacement?
A: Replace the pin if the mast rattles laterally during lift cycles, if there is excessive play between the link arm and chassis, or if the pin has visible side-to-side movement. Worn pins prevent stable load handling.
Q: How long does the lower link pin typically last?
A: Under normal warehouse operation, the HY 2308735 pin will last 5 to 7 years. Life expectancy depends on load weight, cycle frequency, and maintenance of the bushing bore. Inspect annually for corrosion or looseness.
