27810230

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is part number 27810230 used for?
A: Part 27810230 is a handle yoke axle for manual pallet jacks. It functions as the pivot junction between the handle and yoke assembly on 5,500 lb capacity units. This is a critical structural component that bears the load transfer stress when the jack is engaged.

Q: What material and finish is the 27810230 axle made from?
A: The 27810230 is manufactured from hardened SAE 1045 steel with a minimum Brinell hardness of 180. It has a bright zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. This steel composition and hardness rating provide durability under the repeated stress and load cycling of manual pallet jack operation.

Q: Which pallet jack models use part 27810230?
A: The 27810230 is compatible with standard manual pallet jack handle assemblies rated for 5,500 lb capacity. Verify that your equipment uses a standard handle yoke configuration at the 5,500 lb capacity rating before ordering. No cross-reference part numbers are available for this OEM component.

Q: What is the load capacity for equipment using the 27810230 axle?
A: The 27810230 handle yoke axle is designed for manual pallet jacks with a 5,500 lb load capacity. Using this part on equipment rated for higher capacities or with overloads can result in premature failure at the pivot point.

Q: Does the zinc-plated finish on the 27810230 require maintenance?
A: The bright zinc-plated finish provides corrosion protection under normal warehouse and outdoor conditions. In high-moisture environments like food processing or cold storage, periodic inspection is recommended. If the coating is damaged, surface rust can develop at the exposed steel.
