Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AC 218 extending roller?
A: The AC 218 is an extending roller assembly for Noblelift pallet jacks. Extending rollers guide the load forks during lift cycles and help center the load on the deck. The AC 218 is an OEM replacement part for Noblelift model AC-55 (also designated AC 55 or AC55).
Q: What equipment is the AC 218 compatible with?
A: The AC 218 is designed for Noblelift AC-55 manual pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model matches AC-55, AC55, or AC 55 before ordering. The AC 218 does not have documented cross-reference part numbers for other manufacturers.
Q: What material is the AC 218 extending roller made from?
A: Extending rollers consist of a steel or polyurethane roller on a metal shaft assembly. The roller reduces friction as forks extend and retract, while the shaft provides structural support and attachment points to the pallet jack frame.
Q: When should the AC 218 extending roller be replaced?
A: Replace the AC 218 if you observe rough or grinding rotation, flat spots on the roller, visible damage to the shaft, difficulty retracting the forks, or binding during lift cycles. These symptoms indicate roller wear or bearing failure.
Q: How long does an AC 218 extending roller last?
A: Extending roller life depends on usage frequency, load weight, floor conditions, and maintenance. In typical warehouse use, rollers last 2 to 5 years. Smoother floors and lighter loads extend life. Inspect annually for wear and replace proactively to avoid fork binding or load misalignment.
