Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a lockwasher and why is it used on pallet jacks?
A: A lockwasher is a retaining component used to prevent fastener loosening from vibration during material handling. On manual pallet jacks, lockwashers are critical at load wheel assemblies, handle joints, and hydraulic connections where movement and shock loads are constant.
Q: Which pallet jack brands and assembly locations does SKU 30008000 fit?
A: This lockwasher is compatible with standard manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other common OEMs. Verify fastener diameter and application location (wheel assembly, steering joint, or hydraulic pump connection) against your equipment documentation before ordering.
Q: What material is this lockwasher made from?
A: Pallet jack lockwashers are typically manufactured from hardened steel with zinc or nickel plating for corrosion resistance in warehouse and outdoor environments. The hardened design provides long service life under repeated vibration and shock loading.
Q: How often should lockwashers be inspected or replaced?
A: Inspect lockwashers during routine pallet jack maintenance. Replace any that show permanent deformation, cracks, or loss of tension grip. Heavy-use pallet jacks may require lockwasher replacement every 12 to 24 months depending on duty cycle and fastener condition.
