Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the YL 014863100 lock washer do?
A: The YL 014863100 is a lock washer for Yale electric pallet jacks that prevents fastener loosening caused by vibration, shock loads, and repeated assembly stress during warehouse operations. It is used under bolts and screws in structural, motor mount, and assembly hardware applications.
Q: Which Yale pallet jack models require the YL 014863100?
A: The YL 014863100 is used across multiple Yale electric pallet truck and low-lift models. Verify your equipment model, serial range, and fastener size before ordering to confirm compatibility, as lock washer diameter and thickness specifications vary by application.
Q: What material is the YL 014863100 lock washer made from?
A: The YL 014863100 is manufactured from hardened steel with a protective coating to resist corrosion and maintain spring properties in warehouse and outdoor material handling environments. The deformed or split design provides mechanical locking under load.
Q: When should the YL 014863100 be replaced?
A: Replace lock washers when they show flattening, loss of spring tension, corrosion, or if fasteners repeatedly loosen during operation. Once deformed or damaged, lock washers lose their ability to prevent vibration-induced fastener relaxation and should not be reused.
