Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications of the CL 1808288 exit roller for Clark CJ55 manual pallet jacks?
A: The CL 1808288 is an OEM exit roller with a 2.9 inch diameter and 3.6 inch width. The roller body is polyurethane over a steel core with sealed bearing technology. Fitment tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.005 inch for precise bore alignment with the CJ55 frame.
Q: Is the CL 1808288 exit roller compatible with pallet jacks made by other manufacturers?
A: The CL 1808288 is designed for Clark CJ55 manual pallet jacks and frame-specific mounting geometry. While other brands like Toyota, Yale, and Raymond manufacture manual pallet jacks, exit roller bore diameter and frame channel spacing vary. Do not assume cross-compatibility; verify your equipment model and frame width before ordering.
Q: What is the CL 1808288 exit roller made from and why polyurethane?
A: The CL 1808288 features a polyurethane compound molded over a steel core. Polyurethane provides grip and durability for pallet entry and exit while resisting wear from repeated movement over concrete floors. The steel core adds structural support for load transfer. This combination balances traction, longevity, and cost-effectiveness.
Q: How long does a CL 1808288 exit roller typically last before replacement?
A: Lifespan depends on floor conditions, frequency of pallet movement, and maintenance. On high-traffic warehouse floors, expect 2 to 4 years of service. Smooth, well-maintained concrete extends life; rough or debris-laden floors reduce lifespan. Check the roller quarterly for flat spots, cracks in the polyurethane, or bearing play to assess remaining life.
Q: What symptoms indicate the CL 1808288 exit roller needs replacement?
A: Signs of wear include flat spots or visible cracks in the polyurethane surface, grinding or squeaking when rolling, excessive lateral play or wobbling at the frame connection, uneven pallet entry/exit (one side catches), or difficulty rolling the jack loaded or unloaded. A worn roller reduces control and can cause pallet misalignment. Replace when symptoms appear.
