Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Blue Giant pallet jack model uses the BG 036-038 U-Cup seal?
A: The BG 036-038 is designed for Blue Giant PT-55 manual pallet jack models. This is an older-style seal for that equipment generation. Verify your PT-55 serial range and hydraulic unit configuration before ordering.
Q: Why is the BG 036-038 designated as older style?
A: The older-style designation indicates this U-Cup seal was used in earlier production runs of the PT-55 pallet jack. Newer PT-55 units may use different seal designs. Confirm your equipment serial number and current seal configuration to avoid ordering an incompatible part.
Q: What is the function of a U-Cup seal in a hydraulic system?
A: A U-Cup is a dynamic piston seal designed to prevent hydraulic fluid leakage during cylinder rod movement. The U-shape design creates a sealing lip that maintains contact with the rod or cylinder wall under pressure.
Q: If I have a newer PT-55, will the BG 036-038 work?
A: The BG 036-038 is for older-style PT-55 equipment. Newer models may use different seal designs. Contact us with your pallet jack serial number and we can confirm whether the BG 036-038 is correct for your specific unit.
Q: Are there alternative part numbers for the BG 036-038 U-Cup?
A: No published cross-reference part numbers are available for the BG 036-038. This is the OEM Blue Giant part number for the older-style U-Cup seal. Provide your equipment model and serial range if you need clarification.
