EXIT ROLLER
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does an exit roller do on a manual pallet jack?
A: An exit roller (also called a rear roller) is positioned at the back of the pallet jack fork assembly. It allows pallets to smoothly exit the forks during lowering and unloading by reducing friction and preventing snagging. This component is critical for smooth pallet handling and operator safety.
Q: What is SKU 00591-57676-81 made from?
A: SKU 00591-57676-81 is constructed from polyurethane or nylon material designed to roll smoothly under load. The wheel is mounted on a steel axle or pin, providing durability and consistent contact with pallet surfaces without damaging them.
Q: Is this exit roller compatible with Crown and Raymond manual pallet jacks?
A: SKU 00591-57676-81 is an OEM Toyota part. While the diameter and construction may be compatible with other brands such as Crown, Raymond, and Yale manual pallet jacks, always verify mounting width, axle diameter, and fork configuration before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: When should this exit roller be replaced?
A: Replace the exit roller when it becomes flattened, cracked, chunks missing, or when it no longer rotates freely. Worn rollers cause pallet snagging, increased operator effort, and risk of load damage. Inspect regularly for visible wear during routine equipment checks.
Q: Does the exit roller require lubrication?
A: Most exit rollers are designed to operate without lubrication. If the roller is mounted on a pin axle, light grease on the axle ends may be applied per manufacturer guidelines, but do not over-lubricate as excess grease can attract dirt and debris.
