Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DA 2748-34-96 and which equipment does it fit?
A: The DA 2748-34-96 is a lifting link shaft for wide frame pallet jacks made by Dayton, model 4YX96. It is a critical component of the lifting mechanism.
Q: What are the dimensions and material specifications of this lifting link shaft?
A: This shaft is wide and manufactured from forged steel or high-strength alloy steel. The material is selected for rigidity and fatigue resistance under repeated load cycles.
Q: Can this shaft be used on Dayton 4YX96 jacks with different frame widths?
A: No. The DA 2748-34-96 is engineered for wide frames only. Using a shaft with incorrect width creates misalignment, unstable lifting, and potential tilt hazards.

A: Replace the shaft if you observe uneven lift height between front and rear wheels, lateral tilt during lifting, visible bending, or cracks. These indicate structural compromise and unsafe operation.
Q: How long does a lifting link shaft typically last?
A: A lifting link shaft like the DA 2748-34-96 typically lasts 5 to 10 years under normal warehouse use. Lifespan depends on load weight, frequency of use, and maintenance of the lifting mechanism.
Q: Is the DA 2748-34-96 shaft compatible with retrofit or aftermarket components?
A: The shaft is designed specifically for Dayton model 4YX96 lifting mechanisms. Compatibility with other components depends on matching mounting points and load ratings. Verify specifications with the jack manufacturer.
