Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a ball stop and what does it do on a manual pallet jack?
A: A ball stop is a retaining component that prevents the ball or roller from separating from the stud assembly on manual pallet jacks. It maintains proper positioning of moving parts and ensures smooth operation of the load-bearing mechanism during raising and lowering cycles.
Q: Which pallet jack models use the IN 400910 ball stop?
A: The IN 400910 ball stop fits multiple manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and other standard OEM manufacturers. Verify compatibility by comparing the part number on your equipment or consulting the parts breakdown for your specific model and serial range.
Q: What material and specifications define the IN 400910 ball stop?
A: The IN 400910 is typically a metal retaining clip or collar manufactured from hardened steel. It features precise dimensions to fit snugly on the lift mechanism stud. Confirm diameter and length specifications match your equipment before ordering.
Q: How do I know if the IN 400910 ball stop needs replacement?
A: The ball stop requires replacement if the roller or ball separates during operation, if the component shows visible deformation or cracking, or if the jack exhibits loose or rattling motion at the pivot point. A failing ball stop compromises load stability.
Q: What is the typical service life of the IN 400910 ball stop?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions with proper maintenance, a ball stop remains functional for 3 to 5 years or longer. However, frequent high-cycle usage or improper load handling can accelerate wear. Inspect annually as part of preventive maintenance.
