Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the VJ 55F17 clevis rod fitting used for?
A: The VJ 55F17 is a rod fitting with clevis (fork) design that connects hydraulic linkage components in the Valu-Jack 5500-2 frame assembly. It serves as a mechanical coupling point between the hydraulic rod and frame pivot members.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models is the VJ 55F17 compatible with?
A: The VJ 55F17 clevis rod fitting is designed for Valu-Jack 5500-2 manual pallet jack frame assemblies. It is also compatible with alternate model designations 55002 and 5500-2 frame configurations.
Q: What material properties does the VJ 55F17 have?
A: The VJ 55F17 is manufactured from steel alloy with industrial-grade finish suitable for hydraulic linkage applications. Steel construction provides strength to transmit lifting forces through the hydraulic actuator connection without flexing or permanent deformation.
Q: How does the clevis design affect the fitment of the VJ 55F17?
A: The clevis (fork) design provides two mounting points that connect the rod to the frame structure. This design allows rotational movement at the joint, accommodating the angular motion that occurs during fork raising. The hole diameter and spacing are specific to Valu-Jack 5500-2 geometry.
Q: What inspection or maintenance is needed for the VJ 55F17?
A: Inspect the clevis rod fitting for cracks in the fork arms, bending, or corrosion. Check that the connection pin hole remains round and undamaged. Worn or damaged clevis fittings will cause binding or misalignment in the hydraulic linkage, reducing lifting efficiency.
