Traverse Inspection Lift-Rite L-50 and L-50 CHEP (4 way)

If you own or use a Lift-Rite L-50 manual pallet jack, we recommend a traverse inspection before each use. Often, wear can occur on the bearing shoulder (the point where the shoulder bolt attaches to the lifting link) and cause egg-shaped or oblong damage to the traverse requiring replacement.
















Removal
Turn the jack onto its side and remove the steer wheel assembly (see Steer Wheels and Axle). Remove the snap ring under the traverse and turn the jack upright. Be careful lowering the stem of the hydraulic unit onto the ground. Pump the jack up to gain access to and remove the bolt that fastens the lift ram to the frame. Pull the hydraulic unit away from the frame and out of the traverse. Remove the shoulder bolts and the traverse.(15-25 mins.)

Installation
Attach the traverse to the lifting link with its shoulder bolts. Slide the hydraulic unit into the traverse, with the washers and lower thrust bearing already in position on the stem of the hydraulic unit. Position the lift ram and ball under the A-Frame. Tighten the bolt onto the ram to hold the ram in place. Turn the jack onto its side, and install the snap ring onto the stem of the hydraulic unit to hold the traverse in place. Install the steer wheel assembly (see Steer Wheels and Axle). (15-25 mins.)

Steer Wheels and Axle Inspection Lift-Rite L-50

For your Big/Joe Lift-Rite L-50 manual pallet jack we recommend inspecting the steer wheel and axle before each use. Steer wheels should be free of flat spots and large pieces of embedded material.
Indicators for when steer wheel replacement is necessary:

  • Chips in the wheel
  • Not turning freely
  • Rubs traverse
  • Worn more than 1/4"

Note:
If the steer wheel rubs the bottom of the traverse, check for the correct installation of the snap ring underneath the traverse. Replace if it is worn more than 1/4" from the normal outside diameter.

Removal

Steer wheels - Turn the jack on its side and remove the hubcap. Remove the snap ring for the newer style or the roll pin for the older style that fastens the steer wheels to the axle. 
(10 mins.)

Steer wheel axle - Turn the jack on its side and remove the steer wheel. Drive out the roll pin that fastens the axle to the stem of the hydraulic unit and slide the axle out. (15 mins.)

Installation

Steer wheel axle - Slide the axle into the stem of the hydraulic unit and fasten with roll pin. Install the steer wheels. (10 mins.)

Steer wheels - Slide the wheels onto the axle and secure with fasteners (snap rings for the newer style or roll pins for the older style). (10 mins.)



Line drawings available for this unit. Email or call us for your parts (800)331-0839.
