Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the capacity of the 27X48-N-KY pallet jack?
A: The 27X48-N-KY has a 5,500-pound capacity with nylon load and swing wheels. This rating applies to standard 27 by 48-inch pallets on level, solid surfaces.
Q: Why would I choose nylon wheels on the 27X48-N-KY over polyurethane?
A: Nylon wheels are harder and more durable in high-traffic warehouse environments, lasting 18 to 30 months versus 12 to 24 months for polyurethane. Nylon wheels are less prone to permanent deformation and do not mark floors as easily.
Q: Is the 27X48-N-KY compatible with Raymond, Hyster, Yale, and other major brands?
A: Yes, the 27 by 48-inch fork footprint is standard across Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Clark, and other major pallet jack manufacturers. Confirm your fork dimensions and wheel hub specifications match before ordering.
Q: What are the exact fork dimensions of the 27X48-N-KY?
A: The 27X48-N-KY has 27-inch width and 48-inch length forks. These dimensions fit standard US pallets (48 by 40 inches) and Euro pallets (1200 by 800 mm) used in North American warehouses.
Q: How often should nylon wheels on the 27X48-N-KY be inspected?
A: Inspect nylon wheels monthly for flat spots, cracks, or debris buildup. Check bearing condition and lubrication every 6 months. Replace wheels when flat spots exceed one-quarter inch or visible cracks develop.
Q: What is the equivalent polyurethane version of the 27X48-N-KY?
A: Polyurethane wheel configurations are available as alternative options. Polyurethane wheels are softer and better for floor protection but require more frequent replacement in high-use areas. Contact us with your equipment specifications to confirm which version best suits your operation.
