Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the VJ 481 roll pin and which models does it fit?
A: The VJ 481 is a roll pin replacement for Valu-Jack pallet jacks, compatible with model KD-5500 (also referenced as KD5500 or KD 5500). This pin secures linkage components in the jack mechanism.
Q: What is the difference between VJ 477 and VJ 481 roll pins?
A: Both VJ 477 and VJ 481 are roll pins for Valu-Jack KD5500 models, but they may fit different linkage locations or have different diameter specifications. Verify which pin fits your specific jack location before ordering.
Q: What material is the VJ 481 roll pin made from?
A: Roll pins are made from spring steel or alloy steel with a hardened surface. This construction allows the pin to spring outward slightly for secure grip while withstanding mechanical stress in the jack linkage.
Q: When should I replace the VJ 481 roll pin?
A: Replace the VJ 481 if you observe shearing, visible wear, loose linkage connections, unusual noise during lifting, or misalignment in the jack mechanism. Worn pins compromise jack stability and safety.
Q: How long does the VJ 481 roll pin typically last?
A: Roll pins typically last 5-10 years under normal operating conditions. Heavy daily use or exposure to corrosive environments may require replacement sooner. Inspect pins annually on equipment in continuous service.
