Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a grease fitting and where is it used on pallet jacks?
A: A grease fitting is a nipple-type port installed on pivot points, bearing housings, and load wheel axles. It allows technicians to apply lubricating grease without disassembly.
Q: Which manual pallet jack components use this grease fitting?
A: This fitting is used on manual pallet jack load wheel assemblies, pump pivot pins, and articulation joints. Check your pallet jack maintenance manual for the exact fitting locations.
Q: How often should grease fittings be serviced?
A: Grease fittings should be serviced every 200 to 300 operating hours or monthly in heavy-use environments. Insufficient greasing causes bearing wear and early wheel failure.
Q: What type of grease should be used with this fitting?
A: Use NLGI Grade 2 multipurpose lithium-based grease compatible with material handling equipment. Avoid over-greasing as excess grease attracts dirt and accelerates wear.
Q: Is this grease fitting compatible across different pallet jack brands?
A: Standard grease fittings like SKU 3BB-51-A3331 fit most manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Verify the fitting thread size and seating style match your equipment.
