Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which BT pallet jack models use the BT 39879 spring clip?
A: BT 39879 is engineered for BT L-Series manual pallet jacks, specifically the LHM 230 model and similar variants in that series. Verify your equipment matches the L-Series designation before ordering. This is an OEM part number from BT Prime Mover.
Q: What function does the BT 39879 spring clip perform?
A: The BT 39879 is a spring-tempered steel retaining clip that secures the handle pivot assembly on L-Series pallet jacks. It maintains handle articulation under typical warehouse operation without requiring ongoing maintenance or adjustment.
Q: What material and hardness specification does the BT 39879 clip meet?
A: This spring clip is manufactured from spring-tempered steel with hardness estimated at Rockwell C40-C50, providing flexibility to retain position while resisting permanent deformation. Approximate clip thickness is 0.045 inch, engineered for optimal spring tension.
Q: When should the BT 39879 spring clip be replaced?
A: Replace the BT 39879 if the handle becomes loose or develops excessive play at the pivot point, if the clip appears bent or permanently deformed, or if the handle fails to return to neutral position after articulation. A weakened clip will not retain handle position reliably during operation.
Q: Is the BT 39879 interchangeable with other handle pivot clips?
A: BT 39879 is specific to the L-Series handle pivot assembly. Do not substitute clips from other BT models or brands, as spring tension and physical dimensions are matched to the LHM 230 pivot design. Using an incompatible clip will result in improper handle retention.
Q: What is the part relationship between BT 39879 and BT 42631?
A: Both BT 39879 and BT 42631 are spring clips for BT manual pallet jack handles. BT 39879 is specific to LHM 230 models within the L-Series line, while BT 42631 covers the broader L Series family. Verify your exact model before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
