Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications and dimensions for SKU 3026723?
A: SKU 3026723 is a precision-machined carbon steel axle with a 1/2 inch diameter and 3-9/16 inch length. It features roll pin retention for load wheel assembly installation. The finish is machined plain steel suitable for standard pallet jack bearing and wheel installations.

Q: What equipment is this axle compatible with?
A: This axle fits manual pallet jacks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. It is compatible with standard pallet jack bearing and load wheel specifications. Verify your equipment model and load wheel assembly before ordering to confirm dimensional match.

Q: How does the roll pin retention system work on this axle?
A: The roll pin retention design uses a small cylindrical pin to lock the load wheel assembly onto the axle shaft. This method provides positive retention while allowing easy wheel removal for maintenance. The roll pin must be fully seated to ensure wheel stability under load.

Q: What is the load capacity and material strength of this carbon steel axle?
A: Precision-machined carbon steel axles are engineered to handle standard pallet jack duty cycles, typically supporting 5000-6000 lb load capacity depending on wheel assembly configuration and bearing type. The carbon steel material provides durability under repeated use and moderate lateral loading typical of manual pallet jack operation.

Q: How should this axle be maintained and when does it require replacement?
A: Inspect the axle periodically for signs of bending, cracking, or corrosion. A bent or deformed axle will cause uneven load wheel contact and difficult steering. Replace the axle if it is bent more than 1/8 inch or if the roll pin retention holes are stripped or enlarged. Corrosion on the shaft can be cleaned but severe pitting requires replacement.
