Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the BG 111-085 spring fit?
A: The BG 111-085 spring is designed for Blue Giant manual pallet jacks including ROI-55, ROI-5, and MTS 2000 models. It functions in the load mechanism or handle return assembly. Confirm your equipment model before ordering.
Q: What is the spring rate and material of the BG 111-085?
A: The BG 111-085 is manufactured from high-carbon steel with a precision coil design for consistent spring force. Specific rate data (pounds per inch of compression) is available upon request with your equipment serial number.
Q: How do I know if the BG 111-085 spring needs replacement?
A: Replace the BG 111-085 if the handle does not return to neutral position without manual assistance, if it feels softer than when new, or if you observe visible cracks or deformation in the coils. A weakened spring compromises safe operation.
Q: How long does a BG 111-085 spring typically last?
A: High-carbon steel springs typically last 4-8 years under normal warehouse cycles. Lifespan depends on load cycles per day and proper maintenance. Springs gradually lose tension over time and should be replaced preventively rather than waiting for failure.
Q: Can I use a generic spring instead of the BG 111-085?
A: No. The spring rate, free length, and mounting geometry must match exactly to maintain proper handle balance and load mechanism function. Always use the exact OEM part number BG 111-085 for your Blue Giant model.
