RETAINING RING
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 11827-04 and where is it used?
A: SKU 11827-04 is a retaining ring designed for manual and electric pallet jack load wheel assemblies. It secures the wheel to the axle shaft and prevents axial movement. Compatible with pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Yale, and similar brands that use standard metric or inch diameter axles.
Q: What material is SKU 11827-04 made from?
A: SKU 11827-04 is machined from medium-carbon steel and heat-treated to provide high tensile strength and resistance to deformation. The ring maintains its grip on the axle under the sustained side loading and vertical forces applied by pallet jack wheels during normal operation.
Q: What is the diameter and shaft size specification for SKU 11827-04?
A: SKU 11827-04 is sized for specific axle diameters common in pallet jack load wheel assemblies. Confirm your axle diameter and shaft length before ordering. Using an incorrectly sized retaining ring will result in wheel wobble, misalignment, and accelerated bearing and wheel wear.
Q: When should SKU 11827-04 be replaced?
A: Replace the retaining ring if it becomes loose, deformed, or cracked. A loose ring allows the wheel to shift sideways on the axle, causing uneven tire wear and steering pull. Inspect regularly during preventive maintenance. A properly seated ring will not move or rattle when you attempt to turn it by hand.
Q: What is the lifespan of SKU 11827-04?
A: Retaining rings typically last the life of the equipment if properly installed. Corrosion or damage from impact may shorten lifespan in wet or harsh environments. Regular inspection for rust or deformation will alert you to replacement need before wheel failure occurs.
