EXIT ROLLER
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an exit roller and what does it do?
A: An exit roller is a load-bearing component that guides the pallet jack forks as they raise and lower. It rolls along guide rails or channels on the jack frame, allowing smooth vertical movement and preventing sideways drift of the forks during operation.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models use this exit roller?
A: SKU 800075708 is compatible with standard manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other major manufacturers. Confirm your equipment model and serial number before ordering to verify fitment.
Q: What material is this exit roller made from?
A: The exit roller is typically constructed from cast iron or nylon composite with precision bearings. The material provides wear resistance, load capacity, and smooth rolling action under typical pallet jack operating loads.
Q: When should the exit roller be replaced?
A: Replace the exit roller if you observe rough or grinding movement, uneven fork raising, visible wear or flat spots on the roller surface, or if the roller does not spin freely. A worn roller compromises fork control and can damage guide rails.
Q: How often does an exit roller typically need replacement?
A: Exit roller lifespan depends on usage intensity and maintenance. With proper maintenance and standard duty cycles, rollers typically perform for 2-5 years. Heavy-duty applications or uneven wear may require earlier replacement.
