Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the MU 38635 axle used for?
A: The MU 38635 is an axle component that serves as the primary support shaft for the load-bearing wheels or rollers on Multiton pallet jacks. It carries the load and enables smooth steering and movement.
Q: What are signs that the MU 38635 axle needs replacement?
A: Replace the MU 38635 if you observe excessive wobbling or play in the wheels, uneven platform height, pulling to one side, grinding or squealing noises, or difficulty steering. These symptoms indicate axle bending, wear, or bearing damage.
Q: Does a bent MU 38635 axle affect load capacity?
A: Yes. A bent or worn axle compromises load stability, distribution, and safe operation. Continuing to operate with a damaged axle increases the risk of load shift, platform tilt, or sudden failure. Replace immediately upon detection.
Q: Can the MU 38635 be straightened or must it be replaced?
A: Multiton axles should be replaced rather than straightened or welded. Field repair weakens the axle structure and does not restore it to OEM specifications, creating a safety hazard under load.
