Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is SKU 2021245 and what does it do?
A: SKU 2021245 is an industrial lockwasher designed for manual pallet jack assemblies. It is engineered to prevent loosening of bolted connections under load and vibration, which is critical in material handling equipment that experiences constant movement and stress.

Q: Which pallet jack models is the 2021245 lockwasher compatible with?
A: This lockwasher is suitable for manual pallet jack assemblies across common OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar models. Verify that your equipment uses this manufacturer part number 2021245 before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Q: What material is the 2021245 lockwasher made from?
A: This lockwasher is manufactured to industrial specifications for material handling applications. The exact material composition is designed to withstand the vibration and load cycling typical in pallet jack operations. Consult the technical specification sheet or contact us for detailed material information.

Q: How does a lockwasher prevent bolt loosening?
A: A lockwasher maintains bolt tension by distributing load pressure and resisting relaxation caused by vibration. In manual pallet jacks, repeated lifting cycles create movement that gradually loosens standard fasteners. The lockwasher design compensates for this by maintaining clamping force throughout the equipments operational life.

Q: What is the expected lifespan of the 2021245 lockwasher?
A: Lockwashers typically have the same service life as the equipment they are installed in, which for manual pallet jacks is several years under normal use. However, if bolted connections show signs of loosening or if you perform routine maintenance, inspect lockwashers for wear and replace them if they appear deformed or damaged.
