JT PT2748J-085

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the JT PT2748J-085 bushing used for on a Jet pallet jack?
A: The JT PT2748J-085 is a wear bushing that reduces friction between the load wheel axle assembly and the frame on Jet model A, L, and J pallet jacks. It allows smooth steering and load wheel rotation while protecting metal-to-metal contact.

Q: Does the JT PT2748J-085 bushing fit models from other manufacturers?
A: This bushing is engineered specifically for Jet pallet jack geometry. Before cross-fitting to Crown, Toyota, Raymond, or other brands, verify the bore diameter, wall thickness, and outer dimensions match. Mismatched bushings will cause play or seizure.

Q: What material is the JT PT2748J-085 bushing made from?
A: Jet bushings are typically bronze-impregnated or self-lubricating polymer composites designed for low-maintenance operation. The material resists compression set and provides consistent friction characteristics under repeated load cycles.

Q: How do I know when the JT PT2748J-085 bushing needs replacement?
A: Replace the bushing when you notice steering resistance, wobbling or clicking in the load wheel assembly, grinding sounds, or visible wear ridges on the bushing surface. Worn bushings reduce steering control and accelerate frame damage.

Q: What is the typical service life of the JT PT2748J-085 bushing?
A: In standard indoor warehouse applications with regular maintenance, the bushing typically lasts 2-4 years. High-use facilities or outdoor cold storage environments may see accelerated wear due to temperature cycling and increased axle stress.
