Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 9712300100 lockwasher used for in manual pallet jack assemblies?
A: The 9712300100 lockwasher is a fastening component that prevents bolts from loosening under vibration in manual pallet jack pump mechanisms, wheel assemblies, and linkages. It is essential for maintaining structural integrity and preventing safety hazards from loose hardware.
Q: How does the 9712300100 differ from the 97123-00100 lockwasher?
A: Both SKUs 9712300100 and 97123-00100 are lockwasher components with identical specifications and function. The difference is in SKU formatting. Confirm your parts documentation and ordering system to use the correct SKU reference for your equipment.
Q: What diameter fastener does the 9712300100 lockwasher fit?
A: The 9712300100 lockwasher is sized for standard fasteners used in manual pallet jack assemblies. Verify the bolt diameter in your equipment manual or existing assembly before ordering. Common sizes are 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch, and 3/8 inch depending on jack model.
Q: Is the 9712300100 lockwasher made from stainless steel or zinc-plated steel?
A: The 9712300100 lockwasher is typically zinc-plated hardened steel, providing moderate corrosion resistance for indoor warehouse use. If your pallet jack operates in cold storage or wet environments, verify that zinc plating is adequate or specify a stainless steel variant.
Q: How many lockwashers do I need to order to service a complete manual pallet jack?
A: A typical manual pallet jack requires 4-8 lockwashers for pump fasteners, wheel mounts, and handle linkage points. Consult your equipment manual to identify all fastener locations requiring lockwashers. Ordering 10-20 percent extra allows for future maintenance without reordering.
Q: What is the cost difference between replacing individual lockwashers versus ordering an assembly kit?
A: Individual lockwashers like the 9712300100 are low-cost consumables typically priced under one dollar per unit. Bulk ordering or assembling your own service kit often reduces per-unit cost compared to pre-assembled fastener packs. Calculate your annual consumption based on maintenance cycles.
