A: The CR 144545 is compatible with Crown PTH50 manual pallet jacks bearing serial numbers 7-635878 and above. Earlier serial numbers use a different control rod design.
Q: What components does the CR 144545 include?
A: The CR 144545 is an engineered linkage assembly that includes the main rod, required connector pins, bushings, and all fastener elements needed for proper hydraulic actuation as per the OEM factory schematic.
Q: How can I tell if the CR 144545 control rod is damaged or worn?
A: Signs of failure include loose or spongy handle action, delayed response between pump strokes and load movement, visible bending of the rod, worn pivot holes, or loss of hydraulic pressure control during lifting.
Q: What is the load rating for a Crown PTH50 pallet jack using the CR 144545?
A: The Crown PTH50 equipped with the CR 144545 control rod has a 5000-pound load capacity at a 24-inch load center under normal operating conditions.
