Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the CL 1808278 bell crank pin used for?
A: The CL 1808278 is a Clark OEM bell crank pin engineered as the pivot component for the bell crank mechanism within Clark CJ55 manual pallet jack frame assemblies. It connects and controls the linkage system that translates handle motion to hydraulic pump action.

Q: What material is the CL 1808278 constructed from?
A: The CL 1808278 is fabricated from hardened steel designed for shear and rotational loads inherent to pallet jack linkage systems. Steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance in typical warehouse environments.

Q: Does the CL 1808278 fit other pallet jack brands?
A: The CL 1808278 is engineered specifically for Clark CJ55 manual pallet jacks. OEM part numbers are designed with tight tolerances for the specific frame geometry and linkage configuration of the CJ55. Fitment on other brands or models is not recommended.

Q: How often should the CL 1808278 be replaced?
A: The CL 1808278 is a pivot component subject to cyclic loading and wear over time. Replacement is typically needed when bell crank linkage movement becomes loose, noisy, or when the pivot hole shows visible wear or elongation. Regular inspection during routine maintenance extends accuracy and reliability.

Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the CL 1808278?
A: The CL 1808278 is a Clark proprietary OEM component. No published cross-references or equivalent part numbers from other manufacturers are available. Order by the exact OEM part number CL 1808278.
