Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 131358 snap ring and what does it do?
A: The 131358 is an axial retaining snap ring designed to hold wheels, bearings, and axles in place on manual pallet jack assemblies. This spring steel ring seats into a groove on the axle shaft to prevent lateral movement of wheels or bearing assemblies. It functions as a cost-effective mechanical fastener that allows quick removal and reinstallation of wheel and bearing components without tools.
Q: What material is the 131358 snap ring made from?
A: The 131358 snap ring is fabricated from hardened spring steel, which provides superior elastic properties and wear resistance in warehouse environments. Spring steel construction allows the ring to maintain tension in the groove while supporting lateral loads from the wheel assembly. The material resists corrosion and does not degrade under repeated compression cycles common in manual pallet jack operation.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models use the 131358 snap ring?
A: The 131358 snap ring is compatible with standard manual pallet jacks from major OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and other manufacturers. It fits wheel axles and bearing housings across most manual pallet jack designs. Verify the snap ring groove diameter and width against your equipment before ordering to ensure proper fit on your specific pallet jack model.
Q: How do I know if the 131358 snap ring needs replacement?
A: Replace the 131358 snap ring if wheels move laterally on the axle, if the ring has cracked or broken under load, or if the grooved seating surface is worn and the ring no longer maintains tension. A loose wheel assembly reduces pallet jack control and can cause premature bearing wear. Inspect the ring during routine wheel or bearing service. Spring steel rings that have lost their tension or show permanent deformation should be replaced immediately.
Q: Does the 131358 snap ring require maintenance?
A: The 131358 snap ring requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic visual inspection. Keep the groove clean of dirt and debris to ensure the ring seats properly. The spring steel material does not require lubrication. If the axle groove becomes damaged or enlarged, the ring cannot maintain proper tension and must be replaced. In normal warehouse use, a properly installed 131358 snap ring has an indefinite service life unless mechanically damaged.
