Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the lifting capacity and rated load of the 00591-26231-81 forklift jack?
A: The 00591-26231-81 is rated for 8,800 pounds maximum lifting capacity. This capacity applies only when the jack is used on a level, stable surface and the load is evenly distributed. Do not exceed the rated capacity under any circumstances. Always verify load weight before lifting and ensure the work area is clear of personnel.
Q: What types of forks or attachments are compatible with this jack?
A: The 00591-26231-81 forklift jack is compatible with standard Toyota OEM forks and fork brackets designed for this capacity range. Verify that your fork assembly matches the jack saddle dimensions and is rated for 8,800 pounds or greater. Do not use forks from different manufacturers without engineering confirmation of compatibility.
Q: What maintenance is required to keep this jack in safe working condition?
A: Perform monthly visual inspection of the mast, forks, and hydraulic cylinders for leaks, cracks, or bent components. Check that the lift mechanism operates smoothly throughout the full travel range. Lubricate pivot points and moving parts according to the equipment manual. Inspect hydraulic hoses quarterly and replace if cracked, swollen, or leaking. Have a qualified technician perform annual certification testing.
Q: What is the maximum lifting height of this jack?
A: Lifting height varies depending on mast configuration and your specific equipment model. Refer to the equipment nameplate or operator manual for the exact maximum lift height specification. Do not lift loads higher than the mast is rated for, as this creates instability and tip-over risk.
Q: How do I safely lower a load if the jack hydraulic system fails?
A: Do not operate the jack if hydraulic leaks or pressure loss is detected. If the jack stalls mid-lift with a load, do not force the controls. Lower the load using the hand pump or emergency manual descent valve if equipped. Secure the load area and contact our support team or a qualified technician immediately. Never leave a raised load unattended.
