Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Mobile pallet jack models use the MO 2037 roll pin?
A: The MO 2037 roll pin is compatible with Mobile manual pallet jack models ML55 and ML45 M&M. Confirm your equipment model designation before ordering.
Q: What is a roll pin and what is its function?
A: A roll pin is a hollow cylindrical fastener with a radial slot that allows slight compression during installation. Roll pins provide precise alignment between moving components, such as linkage joints, while allowing controlled movement and load transfer in the hydraulic mechanism.
Q: Why is the MO 2037 preferred over solid pins in pallet jack assemblies?
A: Roll pins compress to fit snugly in undersized holes, eliminating slop and binding. This design reduces wear at pivot points, maintains critical tolerances in the lift linkage, and prevents the pin from backing out under vibration compared to straight pins.
Q: What happens if a roll pin fails or loosens in the pallet jack?
A: A loose or failed roll pin allows the linkage to shift out of alignment, causing uneven load lifting, binding of the hydraulic cylinder, and accelerated wear to bushings and pivot bearings. The pallet jack may become unsafe to operate.
