Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the VJ 66147 ram component do in a Valu-Jack pallet jack?
A: The VJ 66147 is the ram cylinder assembly that extends and retracts to raise and lower the forks of the pallet jack. It is the primary lifting mechanism driven by hydraulic pressure.
Q: Which Valu-Jack models use the VJ 66147 ram?
A: The VJ 66147 ram is compatible with Valu-Jack model 6600 manual pallet jacks. Verify the model and serial range of your equipment against OEM specification before ordering.
Q: Does the VJ 66147 work as a replacement on other pallet jack brands?
A: The VJ 66147 is designed specifically for Valu-Jack equipment. Do not assume it fits other brands. Cross-brand ram components vary in bore size, rod diameter, port placement, and mounting configuration. Verify compatibility before purchase.
Q: What causes a ram to fail or leak?
A: Leaks or stalling can result from worn rod seals, damaged piston rings, internal corrosion, or contaminated hydraulic fluid. Overloading, storage in wet conditions, or lack of maintenance accelerates seal degradation.
Q: How long does a pallet jack ram typically last?
A: Under normal warehouse duty, a well-maintained ram lasts 5 to 10 years. Heavy use, moisture exposure, or poor fluid maintenance reduces lifespan. Regular fluid checks and seal inspection extend component life.
