Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the LF 10273 and what models does it fit?
A: The LF 10273 is an OEM carbon steel pin (rivet) fastener for Lift-Rite manual pallet jacks. It is used in the handle group assembly and fits multiple Lift-Rite models including L50, L50M, L97, LRP-5000, and PST-5000 series equipment.
Q: What material is the LF 10273 made from?
A: The LF 10273 is manufactured from carbon steel with a cold-formed construction and standard mill finish. This material provides the hardness and shear strength required to secure handle assembly components under operational stress.
Q: Where is the LF 10273 located in the pallet jack assembly?
A: The LF 10273 is part of the handle group subassembly, referenced as Item 10 in Lift-Rite Parts List drawings (2002/2004 versions). It secures handle components together in the manual pump linkage area.
Q: Can the LF 10273 be used on Lift-Rite models other than L50?
A: Yes. The LF 10273 is compatible with Lift-Rite L50, L50M, L97, LRP-5000, and PST-5000 series models. Verify your specific model and handle assembly configuration to confirm fitment before ordering.
Q: What are the symptoms of a loose or failed LF 10273 pin?
A: If the LF 10273 pin becomes loose or fails, the handle assembly will rattle, shift laterally, or separate partially from the frame. This causes poor pump engagement, loss of leverage, and difficulty or inability to raise loads. Replace immediately to restore safe operation.
Q: Is the LF 10273 a reusable part or single-use fastener?
A: As a pin/rivet fastener, the LF 10273 is designed for permanent assembly. In many cases it cannot be easily reused if removed. Order a replacement pin when performing handle group reassembly or repair.
