DA 2748-11-96

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the DA 2748-11-96 snap ring used for?
A: A snap ring is a retaining clip that secures bearing and wheel components on the axle. It prevents axle-mounted parts from shifting or coming loose during operation of the pallet jack.

Q: What equipment is the DA 2748-11-96 snap ring compatible with?
A: The DA 2748-11-96 snap ring is designed for Dayton model 4YX96 pallet jacks. Verify your equipment matches this model before ordering, as snap ring dimensions are specific to axle diameter.

Q: What material is the DA 2748-11-96 snap ring made from?
A: The snap ring is manufactured from spring steel, which provides the necessary tension and elasticity to maintain a secure grip on the axle without deformation during normal pallet jack operation.

Q: How do I know if the snap ring needs replacement?
A: Replace the snap ring if it is visibly bent, cracked, or if the wheel assembly shows lateral movement or wobbling. A failed snap ring allows wheels to shift on the axle, creating steering instability and unsafe conditions.

Q: Are there different sizes of snap rings for different axle diameters?
A: Yes, snap ring sizes vary by axle diameter and equipment model. The DA 2748-11-96 is sized specifically for Dayton 4YX96 axles. Using an incorrect size snap ring will not secure components properly.

Q: Can the DA 2748-11-96 be used on other pallet jack brands?
A: No, snap rings are model-specific. Do not use the DA 2748-11-96 on equipment other than Dayton 4YX96 models. Axle diameters differ between manufacturers, and improper snap ring fit can cause component failure.
