Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is the LF PM20224X-42U compatible with?
A: The LF PM20224X-42U is a 42-inch push rod for Lift-Rite LCU50 manual pallet jacks with LCU or LCU 4W configurations. The U designation identifies this as the LCU-model variant.
Q: Can I mix and match LCM and LCU push rods on the same equipment?
A: No. Push rods must match your pallet jack model designation. The LF PM20224X-42U is for LCU models only. Using mismatched components can compromise hydraulic function and equipment safety.
Q: When should I replace the LF PM20224X-42U push rod?
A: Replace the push rod if it exhibits bending, cracks, severe corrosion, hydraulic fluid seepage at connection points, or if lift action becomes uneven or stalls mid-cycle. Prompt replacement prevents load drop incidents.
Q: Is the 42-inch length appropriate for all LCU model pallet jacks?
A: The 42-inch length is standard for LCU50 pallet jacks. If you need a different length, the 36-inch (LF PM20224X-36U) or 48-inch (LF PM20224X-48) variants are available. Always verify your specific equipment requirements before ordering.
Q: What should I inspect when examining a push rod for wear?
A: Inspect for surface corrosion, pitting, visible cracks or bending, loose connection fittings, and hydraulic fluid leaks at both ends. Also check that the rod moves freely through its full range without binding or resistance.
