000072008 Plain Washer for Mitsubishi FB20CA1 Forklift
Overview
The 000072008 Washer, plain, w.o/Suspension,w.o/Reclining,w.o/Seat sensor is a mitsubishi plain washer used in the operator seat mounting hardware of FB-series electric forklifts. It is specified for seat versions built without suspension, without reclining and without a seat sensor, which is what the w.o notation in the part description refers to. Like any plain washer, its job is simple but important: it spreads the clamping load of the seat bolt or nut across a wider surface, protects the mounting face from damage and helps keep the joint tight under constant forklift vibration. A flattened, cracked or rusted washer can allow a seat fixing to loosen, so replacing worn washers with the correct 000072008 part is a small job that protects operator comfort and safety.
Compatibility
This plain washer is listed for three mitsubishi electric counterbalance forklift models:
- FB20CA1
- FB25CA1
- FB30CA1
Together, these codes cover the 2.0 to 3.0 tonne capacity range of the FB series, so whether you maintain a single truck needing the 000072008 for FB20CA1 or a mixed fleet of FB25CA1 and FB30CA1 units, one part number serves all three applications. Always confirm the code against your truck’s rating plate and parts manual, as similar seat configurations can use different hardware.
Quality and Reliability
Every 000072008 washer supplied by forkliftpartssearch.com is produced to match original mitsubishi specifications for outside diameter, inner hole, thickness and flatness. Consistent material quality and a clean finish help the washer seat evenly, resist deformation under torque and stand up to the dust, moisture and vibration typical of warehouse, dock and yard environments. Using the exact plain washer designed for your seat configuration avoids the poor fit and uneven clamping that generic hardware can cause.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Verify the part number 000072008 against your mitsubishi parts manual before ordering.
- Clean the seat mounting surface and check the bolt or nut for thread damage before fitting.
- Place the washer flat between the fastener and the mounting face, then tighten to the torque value given in the service manual.
- During scheduled service, inspect seat fasteners for looseness and replace any washers showing wear, corrosion or loss of flatness, ideally as a complete set.
