Q: What load rating does the ML B42 support?

Q: Can I substitute the ML B42 with a standard bolt?

A: The ML B42 is specific to Mighty Lift pallet jacks. While similar bolts exist for Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other brands, dimensions and thread specifications vary. Always verify OEM part numbers before cross-referencing across manufacturers.
