Product description

The Snap-On ST0020972 Upper Lever Plate is a structural load-bearing component utilized in the lever systems of professional tire changers and mechanical lifts. This plate serves as the anchor or pivot point for upper-level linkages, distributing the mechanical force applied by the operator or a pneumatic cylinder. Given its role in the leverage system, the plate is manufactured from heavy-gauge, high-strength steel to prevent flexing or cracking under stress. The precision-drilled pivot holes are designed to accommodate high-grade pins and bushings, ensuring that the lever movement remains smooth and free of play. Over time, the pivot holes can become elongated or the plate can warp from extreme force, leading to a loss of mechanical advantage and precision. This replacement plate is designed to the exact factory specifications of the ST0020972 model, ensuring that your equipment's lever system operates with the strength and accuracy required for safe and efficient tire servicing.

Product highlights
