Roll Pin for Manual Pallet Jack

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a roll pin used for in a manual pallet jack?
A: Roll pins secure pivot points, tilt mechanisms, and handle assemblies on manual pallet jack frames. They hold structural components in alignment while allowing controlled movement during lifting and lowering operations.

Q: What diameter and length is the 28842-046 roll pin?
A: The 28842-046 is a metric roll pin. Verify the exact diameter and length against your jack documentation or parts diagram to ensure proper fitment, as roll pins must match hole sizing precisely.

Q: Which manual pallet jack brands use the 28842-046 roll pin?
A: This pin fits multiple manual pallet jack models from Crown, Yale, and other standard material handling equipment makers. Cross-reference your equipment model number and frame type to confirm compatibility.

Q: What material is the 28842-046 roll pin made from?
A: Roll pins are typically steel, hardened and spring-tempered to resist deformation under load cycling. Steel roll pins withstand repetitive pivot stress and provide reliable retention on manual jacks used in daily warehouse operations.

Q: When should a roll pin be replaced on a pallet jack?
A: Replace the roll pin if it becomes loose, partially ejected, visibly bent, or corroded. A worn or missing pin causes unstable tilt mechanics, binding in the raise-lower cycle, or potential component misalignment.
