Product Description
The HL-F1518 Push Rod is a replacement connecting rod for the Global Industrial model 334475 manual pallet jack (often also known by the Hu-Lift model HP25L). This push rod is part of the jack’s frame linkage – it connects the hydraulic pump to the fork’s lifting mechanism. The HL-F1518 is designed for pallet jacks with 48″ fork length, transferring force evenly to raise and lower the forks. It features a high-strength steel construction with precise end holes for attaching to the lifting links and pump yoke. If your pallet jack’s push rod is bent or broken, the HL-F1518 provides an exact fit replacement to restore a smooth lifting operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the function of a push rod in a pallet jack?
A: The push rod connects the hydraulic unit to the forks. As the hydraulic ram extends, it pushes the rods, which transfer force to the lifting links. This action raises the forks evenly. If a push rod is bent or broken, the jack cannot lift properly.
Q: How does the push rod connect to the pallet jack’s mechanism?
A: On the Global 334475, the HL-F1518 rod pins to the pump piston yoke at one end and the fork lifting link at the other. Two rods—left and right—work together. When the piston extends, both rods push the linkage, raising the forks in sync.
Q: Can a pallet jack still operate if a push rod is slightly bent?
A: Operating with a bent rod is unsafe. It causes uneven lifting, stressing other components and tilting loads. The bend usually worsens with use, risking failure. Replacing a bent HL-F1518 rod restores correct alignment and ensures the forks lift evenly on the Global 334475.
Q: Are pallet jack push rods universal in length?
A: No. Push rod length depends on the pallet jack model and fork size. The HL-F1518 fits a 48″ fork Global 334475 jacks. Using an incorrect rod length can prevent full lowering, lifting, or proper alignment. Always match rod length to your specific jack’s model and fork size.
Q: Why does fork length (48″ vs shorter) matter for the push rod?
A: Fork length changes the lifting geometry. A 48″ fork requires longer rods to ensure correct pivot motion and height. Shorter forks need shorter rods. Using the wrong size causes binding, uneven lifting, or incomplete lowering. Correct rod length ensures smooth and safe lifting throughout the full range.
Q: Do both forks of the pallet jack use a push rod?
A: Yes. Most pallet jacks, including the Global 334475, use two push rods—one per fork side. They work in tandem for balanced lifting. If one fails, the other should be inspected immediately. Typically, both rods are replaced together to ensure even operation and long-term reliability.
Q: Are aftermarket rods as strong as the original OEM parts?
A: Yes. Quality aftermarket rods use high-tensile steel and meet OEM dimensions. The HL-F1518 is tested for strength, hardness, and durability, ensuring it performs like the original. Sourced from Pallet Jackson, it comes with warranty assurance, making it a safe and reliable OEM-equivalent replacement.
