Shoulder bolt & nut
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the TG BOLT used for in material-handling equipment?
A: The TG BOLT is a shoulder bolt and nut assembly used for pivot points, load-wheel attachment, and structural connections on pallet jacks and forks. It provides precise positioning and controlled clamping without deforming components.
Q: What are the specifications for the TG BOLT?
A: This shoulder bolt features a reduced-diameter shoulder section, full-diameter threads, and a companion metric or standard nut. The shoulder diameter is precision-ground to provide exact bore clearance. Verify thread pitch, shoulder diameter, and overall length match your assembly.
Q: What grade and material is the TG BOLT made from?
A: The bolt is manufactured from hardened alloy steel, typically Grade 8 or equivalent, with the nut zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. This combination provides strength, corrosion protection, and durability in warehouse and outdoor environments.
Q: Where is the TG BOLT commonly used on pallet jacks?
A: Common applications include fork pivot pins, load-wheel axle fasteners, handle hinge connections, and mast assembly retention points on both manual and electric pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster equipment.
Q: Can I reuse the TG BOLT or does it need replacement?
A: If the shoulder and threads show no damage, deformation, or corrosion, the bolt can be reused. Replace immediately if you observe stripped threads, bent shoulders, or nut slippage. Always pair with a fresh nut to ensure proper clamping.
