Product Description

The BG 018-071 bushing is a critical component within the framework of Blue Giant's PT50/PT55 pallet jack. It is a type of bearing that allows for smooth movement between two parts. In pallet jacks, bushings reduce friction and wear. Typically situated in strategic locations where pivotal motion occurs, such as within the steering mechanism or wheel axles, the bushing helps maintain the operational integrity and longevity of the pallet jack.
