Control Handle Rod Assembly
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DB2000-90 control handle rod assembly used for?
A: The DB2000-90 is a control handle rod assembly that connects the operator handle to the pump cylinder valve mechanism on manual pallet jacks. It transmits operator input to activate lifting and lowering functions. It is compatible with Crown, Toyota, and Raymond DB2000-series manual pallet jacks.
Q: What symptoms indicate the DB2000-90 rod assembly needs replacement?
A: Replace the DB2000-90 if the pump handle does not engage or disengage smoothly, if there is excessive play or slack in the handle movement, if the pump will not lift the load even with repeated handle cycles, or if you observe cracks or kinks in the rod itself. A bent or twisted rod cannot be straightened and must be replaced.
Q: Does the DB2000-90 have a cross-reference part number?
A: The DB2000-90 is the primary OEM designation for this rod assembly in the DB2000 series. Cross-references vary by original equipment manufacturer. Contact our parts team with your pallet jack brand and serial number to verify any alternate part numbers.
Q: What material is the DB2000-90 made from, and how long does it typically last?
A: The DB2000-90 is constructed from hardened steel rod with a chrome or zinc finish to resist corrosion. The rod is precision-engineered to tight tolerances to ensure smooth valve actuation. Under typical warehouse use, the rod assembly lasts 7 to 12 years before wear or damage requires replacement.
Q: Can the DB2000-90 rod be repaired if it is bent or damaged?
A: No. The DB2000-90 rod assembly must maintain precise straightness and alignment to function correctly. Any bending, kinking, or twisting compromises the ability to actuate the pump valve smoothly. Damaged rods cannot be straightened and must be replaced.
