RL KIT-5144-TPTUM

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What pallet jack equipment uses the RL KIT-5144-TPTUM pin assembly?
A: The RL KIT-5144-TPTUM is a direct replacement for Rol-Lift Series T 2.9 manual pallet jacks. This kit includes pins with snap ring retention. Confirm your equipment manufacturer and model match Series T 2.9 before ordering.

Q: What components are included in the RL KIT-5144-TPTUM?
A: The RL KIT-5144-TPTUM includes axle pins and snap rings sized for Series T 2.9 equipment. Snap rings provide positive retention and prevent pin rotation or loss during load cycles. This is a complete replacement kit for the pin and retaining ring assembly.

Q: What is the function of snap rings in the RL KIT-5144-TPTUM?
A: Snap rings groove into the axle pin ends and prevent lateral movement or ejection of the pin during high-frequency load cycling. They maintain positive axle retention without welding or threading, allowing easy removal and replacement during maintenance.

Q: What causes pins and snap rings to fail on pallet jacks?
A: Pins fail from corrosion, bending under eccentric loads, inadequate lubrication creating galling, and snap rings lose retention from vibration, metal fatigue, or improper installation depth. Loss of snap ring retention results in pin wobble, axle misalignment, and potential wheel detachment.

Q: What symptoms indicate the RL KIT-5144-TPTUM needs replacement?
A: Replace pins and snap rings if wheels exhibit side play or lateral movement on the axle, you observe missing or cracked snap rings, pins show visible bending or corrosion, or wheels move independently of axle rotation. Loose pins create steering instability and load shift hazards.

Q: Are there alternative part numbers for the RL KIT-5144-TPTUM?
A: The RL KIT-5144-TPTUM is the approved SKU for Rol-Lift Series T 2.9 pin and snap ring replacement. Use this exact part number to ensure compatibility with your equipment serial range and warranty coverage.
