Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 800017845 and what does it do on a manual pallet jack?
A: SKU 800017845 is a rod and chain assembly used in manual pallet jack lifting mechanisms. This assembly connects the pump piston rod to the load platform via a chain drive or direct linkage, converting vertical pump motion into platform lift and lower action.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models are compatible with this rod and chain assembly?
A: This assembly is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Clark, and Mitsubishi. Verify the rod length, chain pitch, and attachment point configuration match your equipment specification before ordering.
Q: What materials are used in this rod and chain assembly?
A: The rod is typically hardened steel with polished finish to minimize friction and scoring inside the cylinder. The chain is roller chain or leaf-type chain manufactured from steel alloy with corrosion-resistant plating. Both components are designed for reliable load cycling.
Q: What is the maximum load rating for this rod and chain assembly?
A: Load rating depends on chain grade, rod diameter, and linkage configuration. Typical manual pallet jack rod and chain assemblies are rated for 3,000 to 5,500 pounds. Verify the specific load capacity for your equipment model.
Q: When should this assembly be replaced?
A: Replace this assembly if the chain shows visible cracking, rust, or elongation; the rod shows bending or deep scoring; or if the platform raises unevenly or sticks during lift cycles. A damaged chain or bent rod can slip off mounting points and cause sudden load drop.
