Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 7130531 axle and where is it used in manual pallet jacks?
A: Part number 7130531 is an axle assembly used in manual pallet jack load wheels or steer wheels. The axle serves as the rotating shaft that supports the wheel bearing and transmits rotational load. It is a critical structural component that must tolerate the full weight of loaded pallets during transport.
Q: What are the material composition and specifications of the 7130531 axle?
A: The 7130531 axle is manufactured from hardened steel or alloy steel designed to withstand bending and torsional stresses under load. Exact diameter, length, and bearing bore specifications depend on whether it is a load wheel or steer wheel axle and the pallet jack model. Provide your current axle assembly or pallet jack model to confirm the exact 7130531 specifications before ordering.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models is the 7130531 axle compatible with?
A: The 7130531 axle is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Fitment depends on wheel position (load or steer), wheel bore diameter, and axle diameter. Verify your pallet jack model, serial number, and current axle specifications to confirm the 7130531 is the correct replacement for your equipment.
Q: What causes the 7130531 axle to fail and how often does it need replacement?
A: Axles typically fail due to bending from excessive load, collision, or prolonged use without bearing maintenance. Bent or cracked axles must be replaced immediately as they compromise wheel alignment and operational safety. Steel axles can last 5 to 10 years under normal conditions. Replace the 7130531 if the wheel wobbles excessively, binds, or if the axle shows visible bending or cracks.
Q: What happens if you use the wrong axle size or material in a manual pallet jack?
A: Using an undersized or incorrect material axle risks wheel failure under load, which can cause the pallet jack to collapse or become unusable. Over-torqued or loose axles also cause premature bearing wear and wheel wobble. Always verify that the 7130531 axle diameter, length, and bearing bore exactly match your pallet jack specifications before installation to ensure safe and reliable operation.
