Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a lockwasher and why is it used in manual pallet jack assemblies?
A: A lockwasher is a fastener component that prevents bolts and screws from loosening due to vibration and repeated movement. In manual pallet jack assemblies, lockwashers are critical on pump mechanisms, wheel mounts, and linkage points where vibration can cause fasteners to back out and create safety hazards.
Q: What manual pallet jack models use the 97123-00100 lockwasher?
A: The 97123-00100 lockwasher is compatible with standard manual pallet jack assemblies across multiple OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster models. Verify the exact bolt diameter and fastener location in your jack before ordering to ensure correct fit.
Q: What material is the 97123-00100 lockwasher made from and how does it resist corrosion?
A: Manual pallet jack lockwashers are typically made from hardened steel with zinc plating or stainless steel construction to resist corrosion in warehouse and outdoor environments. The zinc plating provides moderate protection; stainless variants offer superior corrosion resistance in wet or acidic conditions.
Q: How often should lockwashers be inspected or replaced on a manual pallet jack?
A: Inspect lockwashers during routine pallet jack servicing—typically every 6-12 months depending on usage frequency. Replace lockwashers if they show deformation, surface corrosion, or if fasteners have backed out. Preventive replacement is more cost-effective than downtime from loose pump or wheel assemblies.
Q: Is the 97123-00100 the same as the 9712300100 lockwasher?
A: Both SKUs 97123-00100 and 9712300100 are lockwasher components for manual pallet jacks with the same specifications. Confirm your parts list reference and ordering system to use the correct SKU for your documentation.
