MU 20260

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which Multiton pallet jack models use the MU 20260 pin?
A: The MU 20260 pin is compatible with Multiton manual pallet jacks in models M and S. This pivot pin is a critical fastener in the linkage assembly that enables the load mechanism to articulate and raise the forks.

Q: What is the function of the MU 20260 pin in a pallet jack?
A: The MU 20260 pin acts as a pivot point or hinge in the lift linkage, connecting lever arms and allowing rotational movement during the raise and lower cycles. It must be strong and precisely fitted to maintain lift geometry and load safety.

Q: How do I know if the MU 20260 pin needs replacement?
A: Replace the pin if the pallet jack has excessive play or wobble in the linkage, rough or sticky lift motion, grinding or clicking sounds during operation, or visible deformation, scoring, or bend in the pin. These signs indicate wear or damage to the pivot connection.

Q: What material is the MU 20260 pin made from?
A: The MU 20260 pin is manufactured from hardened steel with corrosion protection, typically zinc-plated or similarly finished. This material provides strength and durability to withstand repeated pivoting under full load cycles.

Q: Can the MU 20260 be used as an interchangeable pin for other pallet jack brands?
A: The MU 20260 is specific to Multiton models M and S. Pivot pins for Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, or other brands require their own part numbers. Verify pin diameter, length, and hole configuration before ordering a replacement for another brand.
