JT PTX2748-086A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 70A designation on the Crank Pin?
A: The 70A refers to the material hardness specification of this crank pin. This indicates a specific durometer rating for the pin material, ensuring proper engagement with the lift mechanism and load-bearing capacity.

Q: Which Jet pallet jack models accept the JT PTX2748-086A Crank Pin?
A: The JT PTX2748-086A fits Jet PTX and JTX series manual pallet jacks. Verify the crank pin location in your parts diagram to ensure this component matches your equipment assembly position.

Q: What material is the JT PTX2748-086A Crank Pin made from?
A: Crank pins are typically machined from alloy steel or hardened carbon steel to withstand repeated load cycles and torsional stress from the manual pump handle mechanism.

Q: When should the crank pin be replaced?
A: Replace the crank pin if it exhibits wear on the cylindrical surface, loss of material, cracks, or if the pump handle no longer engages securely. Excessive play or wobbling indicates pin wear or bore damage.

Q: Is there a cross-reference or alternate part number for this crank pin?
A: Check your Jet equipment documentation for alternate part numbers. The PTX and JTX frame assemblies may use designated variants. Contact technical support to confirm cross-references for your specific model.

Q: What happens if the crank pin fails during operation?
A: A failed crank pin prevents manual pump engagement. The lift handle will not connect properly to the mechanism, making the pallet jack inoperable until the pin is replaced with a properly specified component.
