Product Description
LIFTING LINK, 20.5 WIDE JACK
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the LF PL-20201 lifting link and what equipment does it fit?
A: The LF PL-20201 is a 20.5 inch wide lifting link assembly used in manual pallet jacks. It is designed for Lift-Rite and equivalent manual pallet jack models. This component is part of the load-bearing linkage system that connects the hydraulic cylinder to the fork assembly. Verify your jack model and width specification before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What material is the LF PL-20201 lifting link made from?
A: The LF PL-20201 is manufactured from high-strength carbon steel with machined surfaces to ensure precision fitment and load distribution. This material specification provides the structural integrity needed for repetitive lifting cycles in warehouse and material handling environments.
Q: Can the LF PL-20201 be used as a replacement part on older pallet jacks?
A: The LF PL-20201 is designed as a direct replacement for Lift-Rite manual pallet jacks with 20.5 inch wide specifications. If you are retrofitting equipment made by other manufacturers or have a different jack width, confirm compatibility with the part specifications and your equipment documentation first.
Q: What happens if the lifting link becomes worn or damaged?
A: A worn lifting link can cause uneven load distribution, misalignment of the forks, and stress on the hydraulic cylinder and other linkage components. This can reduce lifting capacity, create safety hazards, and accelerate wear on connected parts. Replacement is recommended when wear becomes visible or when the jack no longer raises evenly.
Q: How does the 20.5 inch width specification of the LF PL-20201 compare to other pallet jack linkages?
A: The 20.5 inch width is a common specification for mid-capacity manual pallet jacks. This dimension determines the distance between the two fork tines at the base of the lift mechanism. Using a lifting link with incorrect width will result in improper fork geometry and poor load stability, so always verify the exact width required for your equipment model.
