UE H-1043-B137

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the UE H-1043-B137 spring designed to do in the H-1043 pallet jack?
A: The UE H-1043-B137 is a compression or tension spring used in the hydraulic pump assembly return mechanism. It maintains tension on internal pump components and ensures the pump returns to neutral position when the operator releases the handle.

Q: Which Uline pallet jack models are compatible with the UE H-1043-B137 spring?
A: The UE H-1043-B137 spring is designed for Uline model H-1043 manual pallet jacks. Alternate model designations H1043 and H 1043 refer to the same equipment line.

Q: What material is the UE H-1043-B137 spring manufactured from?
A: This spring is manufactured from hardened carbon steel with a machine-applied finish. The material provides fatigue resistance for high-cycle lifting operations typical in material handling environments.

Q: What failure symptoms indicate the UE H-1043-B137 spring needs replacement?
A: A failing spring causes sluggish handle return, the handle does not automatically return to neutral position, or the pump lever remains partially engaged after releasing it. These conditions reduce pump control and increase operator fatigue.

Q: How long does the UE H-1043-B137 spring typically last in service?
A: Spring lifespan depends on usage intensity and environmental conditions. Heavy daily use can exhaust spring tension within 2-3 years. Infrequent use may extend lifespan to 5+ years. Check spring function during routine maintenance checks.
