I needed a forklift part and wasn’t sure which one fit. They asked for the model and serial number, got back to me quickly, and made sure I ordered the right one. Really helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to use galvanized fasteners with this bracket? A: Yes, to prevent galvanic corrosion, always use galvanized or stainless steel screws or nails that match the bracket's coating.
Q: How many brackets should I use per connection? A: Typically one bracket per joint is sufficient for light to moderate loads, but for heavy decks or high wind areas, use brackets on both sides for added strength.
