Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the PM LB-8 shoe assembly?
A: The PM LB-8 is a brake shoe assembly that serves as the friction interface component in Palletmaster manual pallet jack brake systems. It contacts the brake drum or wheel to stop the jack.
Q: What material and hardness specs define the PM LB-8?
A: The PM LB-8 is constructed from high carbon steel and is hardened to Rockwell C45 minimum hardness. This specification ensures durability and wear resistance in repeated braking cycles.
Q: Which pallet jack models is the PM LB-8 compatible with?
A: The PM LB-8 is designed for Palletmaster LB series brake assemblies. It is part of a component family that includes PM LB-5, PM LB-6, and PM LB-7.
Q: What parts does the PM LB-8 supersede?
A: The PM LB-8 supersedes prior variants PM LB-8-A, PM LB-8-B, and PM LB-8-C. It is the current production replacement for these earlier designations.
Q: How does the PM LB-8 fit within the larger LB series?
A: The PM LB-8 shoe assembly works in combination with other LB series components such as the PM LB-6 locking lever, PM LB-7 compression spring, and PM LB-4 threaded eyebolt to form a complete brake assembly.
