Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 40353 and what is it used for?
A: SKU 40353 is a heavy-duty axle designed for manual pallet jack fork assemblies. It provides the structural support and mounting surface for load wheels and carries the transverse load during lifting and transport operations.
Q: What are the specifications and material for SKU 40353?
A: SKU 40353 is manufactured from SAE 1045 carbon steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. Hardness is Rockwell C35-40, and it is precision machined to accept pressed roller bearings. The axle is rated for continuous mechanical duty at 120 cycles per hour.
Q: Which manual pallet jacks is SKU 40353 compatible with?
A: SKU 40353 features industry-standard dimensions for universal fitment in manual pallet jack fork brackets from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar OEM manufacturers. Verify bore diameter and length match your fork assembly before ordering.
Q: How durable is SKU 40353?
A: The SAE 1045 carbon steel construction with black oxide surface treatment provides excellent durability for high-cycle warehouse environments. Expected service life is 3 to 5 years under normal operation. Replace if the axle develops bending, cracks, or if roller bearings cannot be pressed cleanly.
Q: Why is SAE 1045 steel used for this axle?
A: SAE 1045 carbon steel offers the balance of strength and machinability required for precision-engineered axles. The Rockwell C35-40 hardness range provides tensile strength to handle point loads from wheels and forks while maintaining toughness to resist shock loading during rapid lift cycles.
