Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the IN 430.0034 snap ring do?
A: The IN 430.0034 is an Interthor OEM snap ring used for retaining hydraulic and wheel assembly components on manual pallet jacks. It secures critical components under dynamic loading conditions to prevent separation or misalignment during operation.
Q: Which pallet jack models are compatible with the IN 430.0034?
A: The IN 430.0034 snap ring is designed for Interthor manual pallet jacks, specifically models K77 and K85. Always verify your equipment model number before ordering. If your pallet jack was manufactured by Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, or another brand, do not assume compatibility without confirmation.
Q: How does the IN 430.0034 compare to other Interthor snap ring SKUs?
A: The IN 430.0034 is a distinct part number from IN 430.0000 and IN 430.0029. Each SKU is engineered for specific locations or component sizes within the pallet jack assembly. Substituting one snap ring SKU for another can result in poor retention and equipment failure. Use only the snap ring specified in your equipment documentation or parts diagrams.
Q: What material is the IN 430.0034 made of?
A: The IN 430.0034 is manufactured from hardened spring steel, which provides superior strength and elastic recovery. This material resists permanent deformation even after extended use in high-frequency load cycles, ensuring consistent retention performance throughout the snap ring lifetime.
Q: When should the IN 430.0034 be replaced?
A: Replace the IN 430.0034 if it shows visible cracking, rust, loss of tension, or if components it is meant to retain begin to rattle or shift. A snap ring that cannot be seated properly or one that has experienced repeated removal and reinstallation may lose its grip strength and should be replaced with a new OEM part.
