BO 60151

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of the BO 60151 wiper seal?
A: The BO 60151 wiper seal prevents dirt, moisture, and contamination from entering the hydraulic cylinder bore while the cylinder rod extends and retracts. This protects internal seals from damage and maintains hydraulic fluid cleanliness.

Q: Which Boman pallet jack models use the BO 60151?
A: The BO 60151 wiper seal fits various Boman manual pallet jack models. Because compatibility varies by specific model configuration and year, contact us to verify this is the correct part for your equipment before ordering.

Q: How does a worn BO 60151 wiper seal affect pallet jack performance?
A: A damaged or worn wiper seal allows contamination into the cylinder. This causes internal seal degradation, hydraulic fluid oxidation, sluggish operation, pressure loss, and accelerated system failure. Regular replacement prevents these issues.

Q: What material is the BO 60151 wiper seal made from?
A: The BO 60151 is constructed from elastomer material with a rigid support ring, designed to scrape and wipe contaminants from the cylinder rod as it moves. This design maintains sealing while withstanding repetitive motion.

Q: Should the BO 60151 be replaced during routine hydraulic system maintenance?
A: Yes, replacing the wiper seal during hydraulic system rebuilds or major maintenance is recommended. A fresh wiper seal prevents contamination from compromising newly installed internal seals and extends overall system life.
