Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the VJ 330 snap ring and what does it do?
A: The VJ 330 is an OEM external snap ring designed to retain shaft-mounted components on Valu-Jack manual pallet jacks. It keeps load wheels and other assemblies secured to the main shaft during operation in heavy-duty warehouse environments.
Q: What material is the VJ 330 made from and why does it matter?
A: The VJ 330 is constructed from heat-treated spring steel with phosphate coating. Heat treatment provides elasticity for proper snap-ring tension, while phosphate coating resists chemical corrosion from cleaning solutions and warehouse environments, extending service life.
Q: Will the VJ 330 fit my pallet jack?
A: The VJ 330 is compatible with Valu-Jack manual pallet jacks, model KD-5500. Cross-reference models include KD5500 and KD 5500. Verify your equipment manufacturer and model number before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: How long does a snap ring typically last?
A: Spring steel snap rings can last several years under normal warehouse conditions. However, repeated removal and reinstallation can weaken the spring tension over time. Replace if the ring no longer holds components securely or shows visible deformation or rust breakthrough.
