LF SF20202

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the LF SF20202 torsion tube and where is it used?
A: The LF SF20202 is a torsion tube for Lift-Rite CF and L30 series manual pallet jacks. The torsion tube transfers rotational load through the frame structure and connects the lift mechanism to the load-bearing chassis, making it critical for proper frame rigidity and load handling.

Q: Which Lift-Rite models are compatible with the LF SF20202?
A: The LF SF20202 fits Lift-Rite CF and L30 model pallet jacks. Before ordering, verify your specific model designation and serial range to confirm compatibility, as Lift-Rite produced multiple variants within these series.

Q: What material and dimensions should I expect from the LF SF20202?
A: Detailed material specifications, length, diameter, and surface finish must be confirmed directly with your parts supplier. Torsion tubes are typically manufactured from steel or ductile iron and are precision-engineered to strict tolerances for fit and performance.

Q: How does a damaged torsion tube affect pallet jack performance?
A: A damaged, bent, or cracked torsion tube reduces frame rigidity, causes uneven load distribution, and can lead to improper mast alignment and uneven wheel contact with the floor. This results in difficult steering, uneven lift height, and accelerated wear on other frame components and wheels.

Q: Should the LF SF20202 be replaced individually or with other frame components?
A: The torsion tube can typically be replaced individually. However, if the pallet jack shows signs of frame damage or previous impact, inspect all connected frame members, lever arms, and bushings. Wear patterns on wheels and uneven lift can indicate that multiple components need replacement.
