Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the WE 270266 roll pin used for?
A: The WE 270266 is a roll pin component designed for Wesco manual pallet jack assemblies. Roll pins are used to secure rotating shafts and axles within yoke brackets and other structural assemblies, preventing unwanted movement.

Q: Which Wesco pallet jack models use the WE 270266?
A: The WE 270266 roll pin is compatible with Wesco manual pallet jack units. Confirm your specific model designation and check the parts diagram or OEM documentation to verify this pin is the correct replacement for your equipment.

Q: What are the material properties of the WE 270266 roll pin?
A: The WE 270266 is manufactured from hardened steel, providing the shear strength required to lock axles and shafts in place. The roll pin design allows it to be driven into a hole and held through tension against the shaft.

Q: How long does a WE 270266 roll pin last before replacement?
A: Roll pin lifespan depends on load cycle and operating conditions. Under normal pallet jack use, the WE 270266 should remain serviceable for years. Replace immediately if the pin becomes loose, sheared, or cannot hold the shaft securely.

Q: What happens if the WE 270266 roll pin fails?
A: If the roll pin fails or loosens, the axle or shaft it secures can move excessively, causing load wheel misalignment, binding, or detachment. This creates an unsafe condition and loss of load control. Replace the pin immediately if failure is suspected.
