MU 038972000

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which Multiton manual pallet jack models use the MU 038972000 piston spring?
A: The MU 038972000 piston spring is compatible with Multiton TM55 series manual pallet jacks. This spring is a critical OEM component in the hydraulic pump and lifting mechanism assembly.

Q: What material is this piston spring made from?
A: This piston spring is manufactured from precision-grade alloy steel with a specialized tempering treatment to maintain spring tension and elasticity through thousands of load cycles.

Q: What spring rate and free length are specified for this piston spring?
A: Contact us with your equipment serial number to confirm exact spring rate in pounds per inch, free length, and compressed length specifications. Incorrect spring rate causes improper pump pressure and lift failure.

Q: How do I know if this piston spring needs replacement?
A: Signs of spring failure include loss of lift pressure, incomplete pallet raising, or slow descent. A weakened spring cannot maintain proper pump displacement, resulting in reduced load capacity.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of this piston spring?
A: Service life depends on operating intensity and maintenance practices. Springs fatigue over time with repeated compression cycles. Regular inspection during hydraulic system maintenance helps identify degradation before complete failure occurs.
