Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is VL 213 washer used for on manual pallet jacks?
A: VL 213 is a flat washer that distributes load and prevents fastener heads from sinking into softer materials. It is used across multiple manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale to maintain structural integrity under repeated loading cycles.
Q: What material is the VL 213 washer made from?
A: VL 213 is typically steel with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. This material combination provides durability in warehouse environments, including exposure to moisture and chemical spills common in material handling operations.
Q: How do I know if my VL 213 washers need replacement?
A: Replace VL 213 washers if you observe visible rust, pitting, deformation, or if they no longer sit flat against the fastened surface. Deteriorated washers reduce clamping force and can lead to loosening of critical joints on your pallet jack.
Q: What is the lifespan of a VL 213 washer in normal warehouse use?
A: Under standard material handling conditions, VL 213 washers typically last 3 to 5 years. Lifespan depends on environment, frequency of use, and exposure to moisture or corrosive substances. Regular inspection during routine maintenance helps identify premature wear.
Q: Is VL 213 compatible with different manual pallet jack models?
A: Yes, VL 213 is a standard washer size compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other major OEMs. Verify the fastener diameter and hole size match your equipment before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
