What to do if your pallet jack is not lifting anymore?

 Your Crown PTH50 pallet jack (or a jack with a similar pump) is not lifting anymore.

Your first step is to bleed the pump: 

Put the lever in the release position and pump the handle. About 10 times. That will cycle any air bubbles out of the valve.

If there is still no lifting, check the oil level in the pump. Unscrew the fill plug and check. You should see oil in there, but only to about an inch below the top—not all the way full!

Disconnect the lifting link from the lever and pump the handle: if the pump is lifting, your problem is with the lifting link in the handle. If it is not lifting, your problem is in the pump.

Now you isolated the problem, you can check with us to see if we have a replacement pump or you may decide to rebuild your hydraulic unit with one of our seal kits. 

We have how-to videos to help you.

We break the process down into 3 parts:
1) Remove from pallet jack
2) Take the unit apart and drain
3) Rebuild with new seal kit

 Part 1:

How to disassemble a Crown PTH50 Hydraulic Pump

Part 2:

Part 3:

IDENTIFY YOUR PALLET JACK

You called Generic Parts because your pallet jack needs some work. But the label or data plate is missing or it has been painted over and you just don’t know what make or model you have. Or perhaps it was imported or re-branded and you are not finding the parts information you need.

You are in luck because most manual pallet jacks can be identified by the hydraulic pump on the pallet jack. The hydraulic unit is the main identifying point on any manual pallet jack. 

Generic Parts has line drawings for many of the most common pallet jack on our website to help you compare and identify your pallet jack model.

Perhaps you have looked at the line drawings but are not quite sure. We can help you identify your pallet jack!

Email a side view picture of the hydraulic unit to csinfo@genericparts.com

Text your photo to our dedicated text line - 503-523-8990.

Be sure to let us know what information you have on the jack and what parts you are looking for. Then we can respond with parts information and if possible a quote. And you can always call us for assistance during our normal business hours 6 AM to 4:30 PM PDT at our free technical helpline:
