SHIM-.020 (Hyster HY0278455)

A shim that is too thin or worn can allow excessive clearance between mating components, leading to accelerated wear or noise. This aftermarket replacement part references Hyster as the OE maker and cross-references part number HY0278455. A shim is a thin, flat component used to fill gaps or adjust the alignment of assembled parts. Its plain mechanical function is to occupy space between two surfaces to achieve a precise fit. Over time, a shim may compress or corrode, causing looseness that affects the stability of the assembly. Keeping a shim in sound condition helps maintain consistent spacing under load. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
