Product Description
The Blue Giant BG 104-055 lifting link shaft is a hardened steel component engineered for manual pallet jacks. This 20-1/2 inch shaft serves as the critical frame linkage, connecting the lifting link to the pump piston rod. Built from hardened steel with corrosion-resistant treatment, it delivers reliable performance through thousands of lift cycles while resisting rust in demanding warehouse and outdoor environments. Direct replacement for Blue Giant PT-50 and PT-55 models only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BG 104-055 lifting link shaft and where does it fit?
A: The BG 104-055 is a 20-1/2 inch hardened steel shaft designed for Blue Giant PT-50 and PT-55 manual pallet jacks. It serves as the frame linkage component connecting the lifting link to the pump piston rod.
Q: What material is the BG 104-055 and does it resist corrosion?
A: The BG 104-055 is constructed from hardened steel with corrosion-resistant treatment. This composition handles repetitive lifting cycles while resisting rust in wet warehouse and outdoor material handling environments.
Q: Can I use the BG 104-055 on models other than PT-50 and PT-55?
A: No. The BG 104-055 is engineered exclusively for Blue Giant PT-50 and PT-55 manual pallet jacks. Shaft length, hole spacing, and diameter are model-specific. Using it on incompatible jacks will result in poor linkage alignment and safety hazards.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for BG 104-055?
A: The OEM part number is 104-055 and the manufacturer part number is BG 104-055. BG104-055 is also a valid cross-reference. No superseded or equivalent parts exist. Order by SKU BG 104-055 for compatibility assurance.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BG 104-055 shaft needs replacement?
A: Replace the shaft if you observe inconsistent lift action, grinding sounds during pump operation, visible bending or twisting, corrosion that exposes bare steel, or play between the shaft and bushing that prevents smooth linkage motion.
Q: What is the shaft length and diameter of the BG 104-055?
A: The BG 104-055 lifting link shaft measures 20-1/2 inches in length. Verify your equipment matches this dimension before ordering, as Blue Giant offers different shaft lengths for different jack models.
