Load Wheel and Bracket Inspection, Lift-Rite L-50

Looking to replace load wheels on your manual pallet jack? 

Below are basic guidelines for inspecting load wheels within a load wheel bracket of a Lift-Rite L-50 manual pallet jack.





Load Roller
Load rollers should not have flat spots or large pieces of metal embedded in them. (i.e. tacks, nails, or metal shavings). Any chips in the wheel that keep it from rolling smoothly indicate the need for replacement. If the wheel has cracks, loose tread, or does not turn freely, replace both wheels!

Note: Always change the wheels in pairs to reduce uneven wear. 

New load rollers have an outside diameter of 3" (L-50), 2" (L-50 mini), and 1 3/4" (L-50 CHEP). If the diameter is worn more than 1/4" from its normal size, replacement is necessary.

Load Roller Brackets 
Inspect the brackets for cracks or wear from prolonged rubbing on the floor. Check for oblong axle holes and inspect the bushings closely. (see Bushing Inspection) If any of the above conditions exist, replace the brackets.

Pallet Jack Push Rod Removal, Lift-Rite L-50

If you've inspected your push rod and found broken or cracked welds, bends, missing roll pins or worn bushings, removal of the push rod is likely necessary. This guide will show you how to remove the push rod(s) from your pallet jack.

Removal
Turn the jack over so the undercarriage section is exposed. Remove the load roller brackets (see Load Roller Brackets). 

Loosen the nut on the push rod and then the push rod can be threaded off the eye bolt. 

The eye bolt can be removed with the push rod by using a hammer and pin punch to drive the roll pin out of the pin that fastens the eye bolt to the lifting link. 

Remove the pin and the push rod. The eye bolt can then be removed from the jack.

Note: 
The nut on the eye bolt is primarily a marker for proper adjustment. It also keeps the eye bolt or push rod from spinning out of adjustment when working on the load roller brackets or lifting link.
