PM A8

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What material and finish does the PM A8 pin have?
A: The PM A8 pin is manufactured from high-strength carbon steel and finished with an oil coating for corrosion resistance. The oil coating protects the pin from oxidation and corrosion, which is important for hydraulic assembly use.

Q: Which pallet jack models are compatible with the PM A8 pin?
A: The PM A8 pin is designed for direct compatibility with Palletmaster manual pallet jack models, specifically the HSW series. Verify your equipment model before ordering.

Q: Why is the PM A8 pin oil-coated?
A: The oil coating on the PM A8 provides corrosion resistance in hydraulic assembly environments where the pin is exposed to hydraulic fluids, moisture, and internal metal-to-metal contact. This coating extends component lifespan in high-moisture or humid warehouse conditions.

Q: What role does the PM A8 pin play in the hydraulic assembly?
A: The PM A8 pin is an OEM replacement component engineered to provide secure linkage and precision fit within Palletmaster hydraulic assemblies. It ensures proper mechanical connection and alignment of hydraulic components under load.

Q: Is the PM A8 pin affected by storage in cold or wet environments?
A: The oil coating on the PM A8 provides protection in standard warehouse environments. For extended cold storage or high-moisture applications, the oil finish helps prevent rust formation on the carbon steel base material. Store in dry conditions when possible.

Q: What dimensions should I verify before ordering the PM A8 pin?
A: Confirm your equipment model is HSW and verify pin diameter and length match your hydraulic assembly specification. Cross-reference your parts diagram to ensure the PM A8 is the correct replacement.
