WASHER
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What applications use this washer in lift truck assemblies?
A: This washer is used in electric lift truck assemblies to distribute bolt loads, prevent fastener loosening under vibration, and provide sealing or spacing functions in mast, steering, load wheel, and hydraulic component assemblies. Proper washer placement ensures even pressure distribution and prevents damage to softer materials.
Q: What material and size is this washer?
A: OEM part number 580059747 is manufactured from hardened steel or stainless steel depending on the application. Verify the inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness to match your bolt size and assembly clearances before ordering to ensure proper fitment with your lift truck hardware.
Q: Is this washer suitable for dynamic or vibration-prone applications?
A: This washer is designed for industrial lift truck environments where vibration and dynamic loading are common. The hardened steel construction and optimized geometry help lock fasteners in place and prevent fretting corrosion under continuous vibration from mast movement and load cycling.
Q: Can I use this washer with different fastener materials?
A: This washer is compatible with standard steel, stainless, and zinc-plated bolts and nuts commonly found in lift truck assemblies. Avoid combining incompatible materials such as aluminum fasteners with steel washers in wet environments to prevent galvanic corrosion and fastener failure.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this washer?
A: Hardened steel washers typically last the service life of the lift truck or until the fastened assembly is disassembled for maintenance. Replacement is recommended when washers show signs of corrosion, deformation, or wear that prevents proper load distribution or fastener locking.
