Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the ML A308 nylon thrust washer do in a manual pallet jack?
A: The ML A308 is a nylon polymer thrust washer that provides a low-friction bearing surface and axial load distribution on the steer wheel axle assembly. It protects the A-Series wheel components from direct metal-to-metal contact and wear in the hydraulic unit assembly.
Q: Which Mighty Lift models are compatible with the ML A308?
A: The ML A308 fits Mighty Lift ML55-II and ML55L manual pallet jacks. Alternate model designations include ML55II and ML55 II with the same compatibility.
Q: Why is nylon used for the ML A308 instead of metal?
A: Nylon polymer is selected for the ML A308 because it is self-lubricating, reduces friction against steel axles, resists hydraulic fluid degradation, and provides a softer bearing surface that minimizes wear on adjacent components. Metal washers would cause excessive friction and accelerated wear.
Q: How often does the ML A308 need to be replaced?
A: Nylon thrust washers typically last 3 to 5 years under normal duty cycles. Replace the ML A308 if you observe excessive play in the steer wheel, grinding or squeaking during steering, or visible nylon wear or discoloration after hydraulic fluid contact.
