Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the JT PT2748A-083 load wheel bracket?
A: The JT PT2748A-083 is an OEM load wheel bracket for Jet L-frame manual pallet jacks. This bracket assembly holds and aligns the load roller wheel to the frame, transferring the pallet load to the fork truck chassis.
Q: Which Jet manual pallet jack models use this bracket?
A: The JT PT2748A-083 is designed specifically for Jet L-frame manual pallet jacks in the PT2748 series. Verify your frame type (A, L, or J) on the equipment nameplate to ensure compatibility before ordering.
Q: What components does this bracket assembly include?
A: The load wheel bracket assembly includes the bracket casting, mounting holes for axle attachment, bearing housings, and provisions for snap ring and spring pin retention. This bracket works in conjunction with the load roller axle and wheel hub assembly.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate bracket replacement is needed?
A: Replace the bracket if you observe uneven wheel wear, load roller lateral movement, binding during push or pull, or visible cracks in the casting. Wheel brackets showing these symptoms will cause premature tire wear and unsafe load handling.
Q: How does the bracket assembly affect load wheel alignment?
A: The bracket maintains precise wheel alignment relative to the fork tines. A bent or worn bracket causes wheel drift or toe-in, increasing rolling resistance and accelerating tire wear. Proper bracket alignment ensures smooth pallet truck operation and extends load wheel life by 30-40 percent.
