Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EA E161 release pin used for?
A: The EA E161 is an OEM release pin component for Eagleman manual pallet jack assemblies. Release pins hold mechanical linkages in position during operation and are removed or engaged to control jack function and load platform position.
Q: What are signs that the EA E161 release pin needs replacement?
A: Replace the EA E161 pin if it is bent, cracked, corroded, or no longer holds firmly in its mounting holes. A loose or damaged release pin can cause unintended mechanism engagement or disengagement and affect load control.
Q: Is the EA E161 release pin compatible with other pallet jack brands?
A: The EA E161 is designed specifically for Eagleman pallet jack models. Do not use this pin on equipment from other manufacturers without verifying pin diameter, length, and engagement specifications match your equipment design.
Q: How does a release pin affect pallet jack operation and safety?
A: The release pin is critical to safe operation. It prevents unintended mechanism shifts that could cause sudden load drop or platform collapse. Inspect the pin regularly for wear and replace immediately if engagement is loose or mechanical function is compromised.
