Yale Axle 17 x 148 mm – E-7243

Measuring 17 mm in diameter and 148 mm long, this Yale axle serves as a pivot or mounting shaft in the lift linkage of Yale lift trucks, carrying the load and rotation where two linkage members connect. As a genuine Yale part, it is machined to the fit and length the linkage was designed around, so it seats in the same bores as the shaft it replaces.

A linkage axle wears where it rotates against its bushings, developing play or scoring that loosens the joint and shows up as slop in the mechanism it pins together, the cue to replace it before the wear spreads to the mating bores. Match the shaft diameter and length to the linkage bores it passes through, and inspect the bushings it rides in while the axle is out, since a worn bore will quickly wear a new shaft.
