Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the JT PT2748J-079 spring pin used for on Jet manual pallet jacks?
A: The JT PT2748J-079 is an OEM spring pin (also called a roll pin or split pin) that retains the handle assembly to the pump piston rod on Jet A, L, and J manual pallet jacks. This pin maintains the critical connection between the handle and pump mechanism, ensuring coordinated lifting action.
Q: What are the exact specifications of the JT PT2748J-079?
A: The JT PT2748J-079 is a zinc-plated steel spring pin measuring 0.25 inch in diameter and 1.5 inches in length. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in humid and wet warehouse environments. The 0.25 inch diameter is engineered for the specific bore size in Jet A, L, and J frame assemblies.
Q: Why is the JT PT2748J-079 zinc-plated?
A: The zinc plating protects the steel spring pin from rust and corrosion caused by warehouse humidity, moisture, and occasional spills. Zinc plating extends the functional life of the pin and prevents seizure if the pin must be removed for maintenance or repair.
Q: What happens if the JT PT2748J-079 spring pin fails or becomes loose?
A: If the JT PT2748J-079 fails or loosens, the handle separates from the pump piston rod. This results in loss of lifting capability, inability to lower the load safely, and potential operator injury. The pallet jack becomes inoperable until the pin is replaced.
Q: Which Jet pallet jack models use the JT PT2748J-079?
A: The JT PT2748J-079 is designed for Jet A, L, and J series manual pallet jacks. Verify your specific model and serial number before ordering. Different model variants may use alternative fastening hardware.
Q: How often should the JT PT2748J-079 be inspected for wear?
A: Inspect the JT PT2748J-079 annually or whenever the pallet jack undergoes routine maintenance. Check for corrosion, deformation, or loose fitment. Replace immediately if the pin shows signs of rust through the zinc plating, visible bending, or if it no longer retains the handle assembly securely.
