Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the VJ 322 pivot axle and where is it used?
A: The VJ 322 is a pivot axle for manual pallet jacks that mounts the fork carriage to the jack body. It allows the forks to rise and lower while remaining square and aligned during the lifting cycle.
Q: Which Valu-Jack models use the VJ 322 pivot axle?
A: The VJ 322 pivot axle is compatible with the Valu-Jack KD-5500 manual pallet jack and alternate model numbers KD5500 and KD 5500.
Q: What happens if the pivot axle is worn or bent?
A: A worn or bent pivot axle causes the forks to bind, lift unevenly, or lock up during operation. The jack may refuse to lower or may lower on one side faster than the other. Replace immediately if you suspect damage.
Q: How can I tell if the VJ 322 needs replacement?
A: Replace the VJ 322 if you observe visible bending, excessive play or side-to-side movement in the fork carriage, uneven lifting, sticking during the lift cycle, or if the forks no longer stay parallel during operation.
Q: What is the OEM part number for this axle?
A: The OEM part number and manufacturer designation are both VJ 322. Confirm this matches your Valu-Jack KD-5500 documentation before ordering.
