YL 524190001

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is YL 524190001 used for on electric pallet trucks?
A: YL 524190001 is a tiller pivot pin for electric lift truck tiller arms. The pin serves as the main hinge point that allows the tiller steering arm to rotate and pivot, enabling operator control of the truck steering mechanism.

Q: Which Yale electric pallet truck models require YL 524190001?
A: YL 524190001 is specified for Yale MPW050E and related Yale electric pallet truck models equipped with a tiller steer arm. The pin is sized and threaded specifically for these tiller arm pivot applications.

Q: What material is YL 524190001 manufactured from?
A: YL 524190001 is forged from alloy steel, providing superior strength and fatigue resistance compared to machined pins. Forging creates a dense grain structure that withstands repeated pivoting motion and steering loads.

Q: Does YL 524190001 include a lubrication fitting?
A: Yes. YL 524190001 features an integrated lube fitting that allows grease injection at the pivot point. Regular greasing through this fitting reduces friction, extends pin and bushing life, and maintains smooth tiller arm rotation.

Q: How many YL 524190001 pins are needed per tiller arm assembly?
A: Two YL 524190001 pins are required per tiller arm assembly. One pin passes through each side of the pivot mounting bracket, creating a dual-support pivot arrangement for lateral stability and load distribution.

Q: What should be done if YL 524190001 becomes loose or develops play?
A: If YL 524190001 develops side-to-side play or becomes loose, the pin bushing is likely worn. Continued operation with worn bushings will damage the tiller arm mounting bracket. Have the pins and bushings inspected and replaced if wear is visible.
