Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DA 2748-18-96 spring pin used for?
A: The DA 2748-18-96 is a spring pin for Dayton model 4YX96 pallet jacks. Spring pins secure moveable components in the lift mechanism and prevent accidental disassembly during operation. This pin holds critical joints under tension and vibration.
Q: Is the DA 2748-18-96 compatible with other pallet jack brands?
A: The DA 2748-18-96 is manufactured specifically for Dayton model 4YX96 pallet jacks. It is not interchangeable with spring pins from other brands such as Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or Yale. Always verify the exact model and part number before ordering.
Q: What causes a spring pin to fail or break?
A: Spring pins can fail due to excessive vibration, stress from overloading, corrosion in wet or cold storage environments, or metal fatigue over time. A broken spring pin will cause loosening of connected components and potential lift mechanism failure.
Q: How often should the DA 2748-18-96 spring pin be checked?
A: Inspect spring pins regularly as part of routine pallet jack maintenance, especially if the equipment is used in high-cycle applications or harsh environments like cold storage. Replace any pin showing signs of bending, corrosion, or loss of tension immediately.
