Push Rod Pin for Jet A L and J

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the JT PT2748J-086 push rod pin do on a Jet pallet jack?
A: The JT PT2748J-086 is a control pin that connects the push rod assembly to the frame linkage, allowing the operator to engage and disengage the hydraulic lift mechanism. It transmits steering and pump action from the handle to the load-bearing components.

Q: Is the JT PT2748J-086 push rod pin compatible with Jet models besides A, L, and J?
A: The JT PT2748J-086 is specified for Jet model A, L, and J pallet jacks. Do not assume compatibility with other Jet series or competing brands like Crown, Toyota, or Raymond without confirming the rod bore diameter and pin retention method match exactly.

Q: What material is the JT PT2748J-086 push rod pin manufactured from?
A: Push rod pins are typically cold-rolled steel or alloy steel with a hardened surface to resist bending and shear stress. The pin is engineered to withstand cyclic loading from repeated lifting operations without permanent deformation.

Q: What failure symptoms indicate the JT PT2748J-086 push rod pin needs replacement?
A: Look for loose or intermittent hydraulic lift engagement, excessive play in the push rod, visible bending of the pin, loss of steering responsiveness, or handle wobbling. A bent or worn pin reduces operator control and can cause unintended lift or drop events.

Q: How long does the JT PT2748J-086 push rod pin typically remain serviceable?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions, the push rod pin typically lasts 3-5 years before wear indicators appear. Aggressive or improper steering and repeated rough handling can reduce service life to 1-2 years.
