Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Raymond pallet jack models use the RA 850-137-610-042 pull rod?
A: The RA 850-137-610-042 pull rod is designed for Raymond model 101 electric pallet jacks equipped with 42 inch forks. Verify your fork length and jack model before ordering.
Q: What is the correct fork length to use with the RA 850-137-610-042?
A: The RA 850-137-610-042 is the 42 inch pull rod for Raymond model 101 jacks. Using an incorrect rod length for your fork dimension will result in improper lift geometry and control linkage binding. Always match the rod length to your fork length.
Q: What is the difference between the 36 inch and 42 inch pull rods for Raymond model 101?
A: The RA 850-137-610-036 (36 inch) and RA 850-137-610-042 (42 inch) are different lengths to match the corresponding fork lengths on Raymond model 101 jacks. The 6 inch length difference maintains proper stroke geometry and lift mechanism synchronization. Do not interchange them.
Q: What material is the RA 850-137-610-042 pull rod made from?
A: The RA 850-137-610-042 is a steel rod assembly with end fittings and clevis pins for secure mounting to the lift mechanism. The rod is designed to resist bending under dynamic lift loads and to maintain dimensional accuracy throughout the load cycle.
Q: How do I know if the pull rod needs replacement?
A: Replace the RA 850-137-610-042 if you observe uneven mast travel, jerking lifts, bent rod appearance, or lift mechanism binding. A bent or damaged pull rod reduces lift control and can cause load handling hazards.
