Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DA 2748-17-96 push rod?
A: The DA 2748-17-96 is a 48 inch push rod for Dayton model 4YX96 pallet jacks. This rod is part of the lift mechanism and connects to the hydraulic system. It transmits hydraulic pressure to raise and lower the forks under load.
Q: Can I use the DA 2748-17-96 on a pallet jack with different fork lengths?
A: The DA 2748-17-96 is designed specifically for 48 inch forks on Dayton model 4YX96 pallet jacks. Using it with non-standard or longer fork configurations may result in uneven lift, binding, or damage to the hydraulic system. Verify fork length and model compatibility before ordering.
Q: What happens if the DA 2748-17-96 push rod becomes bent or damaged?
A: A bent or damaged push rod will cause the forks to lift unevenly or not at all. The hydraulic pressure cannot be transmitted properly, resulting in lift failure. A damaged push rod must be replaced immediately as it creates a safety hazard and prevents normal pallet jack operation.
Q: How do I verify the DA 2748-17-96 is the correct part for my Dayton pallet jack?
A: Confirm your pallet jack is a Dayton model 4YX96 and measure your fork length to verify it is 48 inches. Cross-reference the part number DA 2748-17-96 in your equipment documentation. Incorrect push rod sizing or model mismatch will result in incompatibility.
