Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the PM 03.00 push rod fit?
A: The PM 03.00 is a machined steel push rod assembly designed for Palletmaster manual pallet jacks, model HSW. It is engineered for OEM factory fitment with 48 inch forks. Verify your model number matches HSW before ordering.
Q: What is the PM 03.00 and what does it do?
A: The PM 03.00 is the primary force-transmitting linkage between the hydraulic unit and fork carriage. It is a machined steel assembly that transmits the lifting force from the hydraulic pump to the fork carriage mechanism.
Q: Can the PM 03.00 be used on pallet jacks with different fork widths?
A: No. The PM 03.00 is specifically engineered for 48 inch fork width on Palletmaster model HSW jacks. Do not use this part on jacks with different fork dimensions or from other manufacturers.
Q: What material is the PM 03.00 made from?
A: The PM 03.00 is a machined steel assembly. Steel construction provides strength and durability for the force-transmitting function under repeated hydraulic load cycles.
Q: How do I know if the PM 03.00 needs replacement?
A: Replace the PM 03.00 if you observe bent or cracked steel, excessive wear at connection points, or if the fork carriage does not respond smoothly to hydraulic pressure. These are signs of push rod failure.
