Product Description

The ML A101 release rod is located on the pallet jack's handle, allowing the operator to control the lowering and lifting of the forks. The release rod has three positions: neutral, lift, and lower. 

In the neutral position, the release rod locks the hydraulic system and prevents the forks from moving. In the lift position, the release rod activates the hydraulic pump and raises the forks when the handle is pumped up and down. In the lower position, the release rod releases the hydraulic pressure and lowers the forks when the handle is pushed down. 

The ML A101 release rod is sturdy steel and has a comfortable rubber grip. It is easy to operate and adjust, ensuring smooth and precise movement of the forks.
