JT PT2748W-02

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the function of the JT PT2748W-02 roll pin in a Jet W manual pallet jack?
A: The JT PT2748W-02 is a roll pin that serves as a mechanical fastener and alignment component in the Jet W series manual pallet jack. Roll pins are used to secure pivoting assemblies, lock gears, or retain handle and pump linkage components. This pin is a wear item that may require periodic replacement due to shear stress.

Q: What Jet model equipment does this roll pin fit?
A: The JT PT2748W-02 roll pin is designed for Jet model W series manual pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model designation matches before ordering. Using the correct part number ensures proper fitment and mechanical function of the jacks pump and handle assembly.

Q: What causes a roll pin to fail or require replacement?
A: Roll pins fail due to shear stress from repeated pump cycles, impact loads from dropped equipment, corrosion and rust weakening the pin material, and mechanical wear from continuous oscillation of linked components. Failure symptoms include loose mechanical connections, grinding noises, misaligned gears, and inability to pump the jack effectively.

Q: What material is the JT PT2748W-02 roll pin manufactured from?
A: The JT PT2748W-02 is manufactured from hardened steel to withstand repeated shear and mechanical stress in material handling equipment. The steel composition and hardening process are engineered to OEM specifications for durability. Use only OEM replacement pins to maintain mechanical integrity.

Q: How often does a roll pin typically need replacement in a manual pallet jack?
A: Roll pin lifespan depends on usage intensity and load conditions. In standard warehouse applications, expect 3 to 5 years of service life before shear failure occurs. Heavy use or shock loads will shorten this timeline. Regular inspection for mechanical play and noise will indicate when replacement is needed.
