Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What pallet jack models use the MU 20231 axle?

Q: Does the MU 20231 axle come with load wheels or bushings?
A: The MU 20231 is the axle shaft only. Load wheels, bushings, spacers, and thrust washers are ordered separately as individual components. Verify the complete axle assembly configuration needed for your Multiton S Foot Control model before ordering.

A: The MU 20231 is specific to Multiton model S Foot Control. Axles for other manufacturers like Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or Yale pallet jacks require their own part numbers. Contact us with your equipment model and we can identify the correct axle replacement.
