Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the MU 200178280 bushing designed for?
A: The MU 200178280 is an OEM machined steel bushing for Multiton TM 55 series manual pallet jacks. It functions as a plain bearing interface at critical pivot locations in the hydraulic unit assembly. The bushing is precision-machined from solid steel stock to provide low-friction support for pivot pins and shafts.
Q: Which pallet jack models use this bushing?
A: The MU 200178280 is a direct fit for Multiton TM 55 series manual pallet jacks. Verify the hydraulic unit assembly part number matches before ordering. This bushing is not cross-compatible with other Multiton series (TM, M, J, or S) without confirming exact assembly configuration.
Q: What material is this bushing made from?
A: The MU 200178280 is machined from solid steel with a plain bearing surface. It contains no rolling elements or elastomer seals. The plain bearing design relies on the mating surface finish and lubrication frequency for wear life. Steel construction provides high load capacity and resistance to lateral impact common in manual pallet jack operation.
Q: How long does this bushing typically last?
A: Bushing service life depends on usage intensity and maintenance. With regular hydraulic fluid changes and lubrication cycles, the MU 200178280 typically lasts multiple years in normal warehouse operation. Premature wear shows as increased lateral play at the pivot point or resistance during jacking cycles. Replace if gap exceeds OEM specifications or if movement becomes restricted.
Q: Is this bushing an exact OEM replacement?
A: Yes, the MU 200178280 is the genuine Multiton OEM part number. It is produced to original factory specifications for exact fit in TM 55 hydraulic assemblies. Aftermarket bushings may differ in machining tolerances and material heat treatment, potentially affecting performance and longevity.
