Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the LF 10242 roll pin used for?
A: The LF 10242 is a roll pin (spring pin) component used in Lift-Rite manual pallet jack steer wheel assemblies. It secures axle components and prevents unwanted rotation or separation during operation.
Q: What Lift-Rite models use the LF 10242 roll pin?
A: The LF 10242 is compatible with Lift-Rite model L-55 pallet jacks. Alternate model designations include L55 and L 55. Confirm your equipment model matches before ordering this component.
Q: Why would the LF 10242 need replacement?
A: Roll pins should be replaced if they are bent, partially ejected, broken, or if the steer wheel assembly moves side-to-side excessively. A damaged roll pin cannot hold components in alignment and must be changed immediately to prevent further damage.
Q: How does a roll pin differ from other fastening methods?
A: A roll pin (spring pin) expands internally to grip holes and resists vibration better than solid pins. This design prevents loosening during repetitive steering cycles, which is critical in pallet jack applications.
Q: Is the LF 10242 interchangeable with pins from other pallet jack brands?
A: The LF 10242 is OEM-specific to Lift-Rite L-55 models. Do not substitute with generic or non-OEM roll pins, as diameter and length tolerances are critical for proper fitment and function. Use only the specified part number.
