Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 401278 push rod used for?
A: Part 401278 is a push rod designed for 48-inch fork manual pallet jacks. It transfers hydraulic lift force from the pump cylinder to the lift arm linkage during load raising operations.
Q: Does the 401278 fit other fork widths besides 48 inches?
A: No. The 401278 is engineered specifically for 48-inch forks. Different fork widths use different push rod lengths and connection angles. Using an incorrect length causes binding, arm misalignment, and load instability. Verify your fork width before ordering.
Q: What materials is the 401278 push rod made from?
A: The 401278 is steel with chrome-plated finish to resist corrosion in warehouse and dock environments. The rod connects via welded ends or threaded studs depending on frame design.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use the 401278 push rod?
A: The 401278 is compatible with 48-inch manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM manufacturers. Confirm your equipment model before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: How do I know if the 401278 needs replacement?
A: Replace the push rod if you see visible bending, cracks, excessive pitting, or if the jack lifts unevenly or binds during operation. Inspect regularly during maintenance cycles for early signs of wear.
