Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What function does the UL 1115 spring perform on a manual pallet jack?
A: Springs in pallet jacks provide mechanical force to return valve components to neutral position, assist in lowering operations, or maintain pressure in accumulator circuits. Function depends on spring location and application.
Q: What equipment does the UL 1115 spring fit?
A: The UL 1115 is a replacement spring for manual pallet jack assemblies. Confirm compatibility with your equipment manufacturer and model before ordering, as spring rates and dimensions vary by design.
Q: What are the spring rate and free length specifications for the UL 1115?
A: Spring specifications include rate in pounds per inch, free length, compressed length, and wire diameter. Contact our parts team with your equipment model to verify exact specifications and ensure correct replacement.
Q: What materials is the UL 1115 spring made from and how long does it last?
A: Springs are typically music wire or stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Lifespan depends on cycling frequency and stress levels. Springs under constant high stress may fatigue and lose force, causing sluggish jack operation or control issues.
Q: How do I identify if the UL 1115 spring needs replacement?
A: Symptoms include slow return to neutral position, control lever not resetting properly, stuck valve spool, or difficult lowering. Weak or broken springs reduce control precision and can affect safety.
