LF SF20204

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the LF SF20204 bulkhead pin and what does it do?
A: The LF SF20204 is a bulkhead pin for Lift-Rite CF and L30 series manual pallet jacks. This small but critical fastener secures the bulkhead to the frame structure and maintains alignment of the load wheel assembly, ensuring stable load handling and proper mast operation.

Q: Which Lift-Rite models require the LF SF20204 bulkhead pin?
A: The LF SF20204 fits Lift-Rite CF and L30 model pallet jacks. Confirm your exact model and serial range before ordering, as multiple versions of these series may have been manufactured with different component specifications.

Q: What happens if the bulkhead pin fails or is missing?
A: A failed or missing bulkhead pin causes the bulkhead to shift or separate from the frame, leading to misalignment of the load wheel assembly. This results in uneven load distribution, wheel binding, difficult steering, and potential load instability during operation. The pallet jack becomes unsafe to use.

Q: What material is the LF SF20204 bulkhead pin made from?
A: Bulkhead pins are typically manufactured from hardened steel or stainless steel. Specific material grade, diameter, length, and finish specifications must be confirmed with your parts supplier to ensure exact replacement.

Q: How often should bulkhead pins be inspected or replaced?
A: Bulkhead pins should be inspected during routine maintenance and after heavy use or impacts. Replace if the pin shows wear, corrosion, bending, or if it has become loose. In high-volume warehouse environments, check these fasteners quarterly as part of preventive maintenance to avoid unexpected equipment failure.
