Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What function does the IN 140.6479 chain serve in manual pallet jacks?
A: The IN 140.6479 chain is part of the load linkage system that transmits lifting force from the hydraulic pump to the fork assembly. It connects the pump mechanism to the scissor lift structure, allowing controlled vertical movement of the forks.
Q: Which Interthor pallet jack models use the IN 140.6479 chain?
A: The IN 140.6479 chain is designed for Interthor manual pallet jack models K77 and K85. Verify your equipment model and configuration before ordering, as chain length and attachment points must match your specific model.
Q: What are signs that the IN 140.6479 chain needs replacement?
A: Replace the chain if you observe visible rust or corrosion, broken or damaged links, excessive slack or sagging that cannot be adjusted, or if the forks will not raise or lower smoothly. Uneven lift height between fork corners also indicates chain failure.
Q: How long does the IN 140.6479 chain typically last?
A: With regular maintenance and normal use, the chain can last several years. Lifespan is reduced by improper load distribution, overloading beyond equipment capacity, storage in wet or corrosive environments, and lack of lubrication. Inspect regularly for early signs of wear.
Q: What maintenance keeps the IN 140.6479 chain in good condition?
A: Periodically clean the chain to remove dirt and debris. Apply light machine oil or chain lubricant to prevent rust and reduce friction. Store equipment indoors or in dry conditions when not in use. Check for proper tension and alignment; a loose or misaligned chain accelerates wear and can cause lift failure.
