Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Jet jack model uses the JT PT2742W-17 push rod?
A: The JT PT2742W-17 is engineered for Jet model W pallet jacks with 42 inch fork length and 17 inch fork width. The W designation indicates a specific pump and handle configuration that differs from model L units.
Q: How does the JT PT2742W-17 differ from the JT PT2736W-17?
A: The main difference is rod length. The PT2742W-17 is 42 inches long while the PT2736W-17 is 36 inches. Choose based on your Jet jack fork depth. An incorrect length prevents proper pump engagement and operation.
Q: Is this a special order item with lead time?
A: Yes, the JT PT2742W-17 is special order with lead time required. Contact us directly for current availability, pricing, and estimated delivery date.
Q: What causes push rod failure in Jet model W jacks?
A: Push rod failures typically result from overloading beyond the jack capacity, repeated dropping or shock loads, corrosion in wet or salt environments, or simply age and fatigue after thousands of cycles. Regular inspection catches early wear signs.
Q: What should I check before ordering a replacement push rod?
A: Confirm your Jet model designation (W in this case), measure the rod length from pump handle to cylinder connection to verify 42 inches, and check the fork width measurement. Provide this information when contacting us to ensure correct part number.
