Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the JT PT2748W-56-1 Pump Cylinder?
A: The JT PT2748W-56-1 is the main pressure vessel or pump cylinder for Jet model 2748W series manual pallet jacks. It forms the primary chamber where hydraulic fluid is compressed to generate lifting pressure.

A: Alternate model designations include 2748W561 and 2748W 56 1. All three references point to the same Jet pump cylinder component. When ordering, use the exact SKU JT PT2748W-56-1 to ensure correct part receipt.
Q: Can the PT2748W-56-1 be repaired or must it be replaced?
A: Pump cylinders typically cannot be economically repaired. If the cylinder is cracked, corroded, or leaking hydraulic fluid, replacement is required. Attempting to weld or patch a pressure vessel creates safety risks.
Q: What symptoms indicate pump cylinder failure?
A: Signs of cylinder failure include visible hydraulic fluid leaking from the pump body, loss of pressure during lifting cycles, audible hissing or whistling sounds, or reduced or no lifting capacity on your Jet pallet jack.
Q: How does environmental exposure affect the PT2748W-56-1 pump cylinder?
A: Exposure to moisture, salt, cold storage conditions, or wet floors accelerates corrosion on steel pump cylinders. Regular inspection and prompt replacement of corroded cylinders prevents catastrophic failure and maintains safe jack operation.
