Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the IN 430.0000 snap ring used for?
A: The IN 430.0000 is an Interthor OEM snap ring designed for manual pallet jack hydraulic and wheel assemblies. It provides reliable retention of components under dynamic load conditions. This snap ring is manufactured from hardened spring steel to withstand repeated compression and release cycles typical in material handling equipment.
Q: Which pallet jack models does the IN 430.0000 fit?
A: The IN 430.0000 snap ring is compatible with Interthor manual pallet jacks, specifically models K77 and K85. If you operate equipment from other manufacturers such as Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or Yale, verify model compatibility before ordering as cross-brand fitment can vary.
Q: What material is the IN 430.0000 snap ring made from?
A: The IN 430.0000 is manufactured from hardened spring steel. This material provides superior elasticity, fatigue resistance, and tensile strength needed to retain hydraulic components and wheel assemblies under repeated load cycling. The hardened grade ensures it does not lose its tension properties over time in demanding warehouse environments.
Q: How long does an IN 430.0000 snap ring typically last?
A: An IN 430.0000 snap ring can last several years under normal manual pallet jack operation. However, lifespan depends on frequency of use, load weight, environmental conditions, and whether the ring has suffered impact damage or improper removal. Signs of wear include loss of tension, visible cracking, or inability to maintain component retention. If you notice components shifting or rattling, the snap ring should be inspected and replaced if deformed.
Q: What maintenance does the IN 430.0000 require?
A: The IN 430.0000 snap ring requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect it visually for cracks, corrosion, or permanent deformation. Keep the surrounding area clean of debris and moisture. Do not apply lubricants to the snap ring itself as this can affect its retention grip. If exposed to harsh chemicals or saltwater environments, occasional rinsing with fresh water and drying is recommended to prevent corrosion.
