Stainless Steel Bearing 2RS - Pallet Jacks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the TO 00590-43299-71-SS bearing and how does it differ from the standard version?
A: The TO 00590-43299-71-SS is a stainless steel variant of the standard TO 00590-43299-71 bearing. This version features stainless steel construction with 2RS (double seal) protection, making it suitable for corrosive environments such as cold storage, wash-down areas, and chemical storage facilities.

Q: When should I use the stainless steel TO 00590-43299-71-SS instead of the standard bearing?
A: Use the stainless steel TO 00590-43299-71-SS in environments where corrosion is a concern, including cold storage, wet floors, areas with chemical exposure, or facilities with high humidity. If your pallet jack operates in normal dry conditions, the standard TO 00590-43299-71 bearing is suitable.

Q: What equipment is compatible with the TO 00590-43299-71-SS?
A: The TO 00590-43299-71-SS is engineered for Toyota electric pallet jacks. Verify compatibility with your specific equipment model before ordering. Contact us with your equipment model and serial number if you need confirmation.

Q: What does 2RS mean on the TO 00590-43299-71-SS bearing?
A: 2RS designates double rubber seals on the bearing. These seals provide protection on both sides of the bearing against moisture, dust, and contaminants. This sealing design extends bearing life in harsh environments and reduces maintenance requirements.

Q: Is the stainless steel bearing more durable than the standard version?
A: The stainless steel bearing offers superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, but both versions are engineered for durability in material handling equipment. Choose the stainless steel variant if your application involves exposure to moisture or corrosive substances. For typical warehouse environments, either bearing will perform reliably.
