Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of lift piston MO 12X2000?
A: Lift piston MO 12X2000 is a hydraulic component that converts pump pressure into linear vertical motion within the mast assembly. It is a genuine OEM part for Mobile MLX55 manual pallet jacks and is essential for raising and lowering load.
Q: Which pallet jack models use MO 12X2000?
A: Lift piston MO 12X2000 fits Mobile manual pallet jack model MLX55. Verify your equipment model before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What material is lift piston MO 12X2000 made from?
A: OEM lift pistons for manual pallet jacks are typically machined steel with chromium-plated surfaces to resist corrosion and reduce friction within the hydraulic cylinder. Exact material specifications are documented in Mobile technical service bulletins.
Q: How often should I replace lift piston MO 12X2000?
A: Lift piston replacement is condition-based, not time-based. Replace when the pallet jack cannot reach full height, loses height under load, or if the hydraulic cylinder shows visible leakage around the piston rod. Normal service life is 3 to 7 years.
Q: What happens if lift piston MO 12X2000 fails during operation?
A: A failed or worn lift piston will cause loss of hydraulic pressure, preventing the mast from raising. The load cannot be lifted safely, and continued use risks dropping the load or damaging the hydraulic system. Replace immediately upon failure.
Q: Are there superseded or cross-reference part numbers for MO 12X2000?
A: No known superseded or cross-reference part numbers are available. MO 12X2000 is the current OEM part number for Mobile MLX55. Do not substitute with aftermarket or generic pistons unless explicitly verified as compatible.
