Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EC HYD-05-0016 backup ring used for?

Q: What is the alternate part number for the EC HYD-05-0016?
A: The alternate part number format is BACKUPRING. Always reference the SKU EC HYD-05-0016 when ordering to ensure you receive the correct Ecoa equipment-specific backup ring.
Q: Why should a backup ring be replaced along with the seal?
A: When replacing hydraulic seals in a pallet jack cylinder, the backup ring should be included in the repair kit. The backup ring works in conjunction with the primary seal, and replacing both ensures optimal sealing performance and prevents premature seal failure.
