Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the -SS designation mean on the MO 12E135-SS part number?
A: The -SS suffix indicates uncoated stainless steel construction. This distinguishes it from carbon steel or painted variants. The uncoated finish provides maximum corrosion resistance without relying on paint or plating, which can chip or wear away over time.
Q: Is MO 12E135-SS the same as MO 12E135?
A: MO 12E135-SS is the stainless steel version of the MO 12E135 lever plate. Both fit the Mobile ECO I-55, but MO 12E135-SS offers superior corrosion resistance and is the preferred choice for harsh, wet, or chemically aggressive environments.
Q: What maintenance does a stainless steel lever plate require?
A: Stainless steel requires minimal maintenance. Wipe clean periodically to remove salt spray or chemical residue. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners as these can scratch the surface and compromise corrosion resistance. Check fastener tightness semi-annually.
Q: Will MO 12E135-SS show rust or staining?
A: Stainless steel is highly resistant to rust formation. Minor surface staining from external contaminants is cosmetic and can be cleaned. True rust indicates corrosion of the base metal, which is rare unless the material has been severely scratched or damaged and left exposed.
Q: Can MO 12E135-SS be used as a retrofit on older Mobile manual jacks?
A: Only if your equipment is confirmed to be a Mobile ECO I-55 model. Do not attempt retrofit on different model numbers. Consult your equipment documentation or contact our parts team with your serial number for compatibility verification.
Q: How does stainless steel compare to carbon steel for lever plate durability?
A: Stainless steel outlasts carbon steel in wet and corrosive environments by eliminating rust formation. Carbon steel requires paint or coating maintenance and will eventually corrode. Stainless steel costs more upfront but provides longer equipment life and reduces unplanned downtime.
