Awesome 2500Kg Pallet Truck Restoration Project & How Hydraulics work. 

The world needs more tradesmen like you.

Great overview to repair the pallet jack, it will help me big time, thank you so much.

I've watched several of these. So far, yours is the only video to show the complete actuation of the lever mechanism that raises the forks. You, sir, deserve a comment.

Excellent stuff. Nice lathe you have. That's a great pallet truck now. I have one and it's really useful. I used it to get my ton and a half Harrison Mill into my shop. Would have been impossible without it.

Grat job creating this cutom jack !!!!!!

Great video!!! I am about to resurrect an old pallt truck and this was helpful. I did'nt catch what you said on 11:00 . "Never put your finger where you wouldn't put your..." and then I lost it

I'm so glad that you are uploading more freuqently ;)

That’s got to be one of the best refurbishment videos I have watched and believe me I watch loads. Absolutely superb. Very tempted to ask the depot I work at if I can take a broken truck now. I might need to get back to you 👍🤣 Subscribed 👍👍

Well done! I'm not stopping by for coffee.

just I want to say thank you..really it's a very good job

Excellent work. Great vid.

Здорово, когда есть руки, которые растут из правильного места и хороший инструмент... Браво!!!

Awesome 👏🏾,I’ve got one that doesn’t pump up I’m going to try your methods of checking it out.

Brilliant, thanks, huge help

Sir you are very good at your work, thank you so much fl

Outstanding!

Great Stuff, wating for the next one now.

W O W ! Perfect timing for me to see your excellent video. I got an off brand pallet jack two days ago that has a problem. It looks very similar to yours in most aspects. You showed all of the necessary detail to see how it is put together, and more importantly, how to take it apart. The sounds of the shop make it a natural with no musical distraction. Thanks for that. Your video skill are so much better than many studio videos. I never saw the back of your head or back of your hand, only the detail of what was happening on the equipment. Shop made tools to complete the job, and other workarounds, make it a great instructional video. Right down to the tape on the handle, what is that tape? My problem is it will jack up but won't lower, no matter how hard I jump on the forks to give it weight to help it lower. So, I used my tractor, with a front end loader, to weigh down the forks, and I got it to lower. I cycled it again and still needed the FEL to weigh down the forks to lower it. Because of your video. I now have the knowledge to determine if the problem is in the hydraulic pump or the mechanical parts of the pallet jack. A big thanks from this side of the pond. Now that I've subscribed I'm heading out to my shop to begin to determine what is causing the pallet jack to not lower.

Nice work!

Brilliant!!!

Good physics explanation. Good edit. Gratuitous slow-mo sparks. What's not to like!

Great job

Cracking videos pal educational more people that watch these videos the better 👍 👌

Really nice rebuild - sure glad I hit that subscribe button and bell icon. Looking forward to all your content. 👍👍😎👍👍

Nice video and refurbish. I wish there was more narration of what you were doing and why though: what you were using to clean everything; an overall explanation of how the different parts in the jack work, etc.

Parental advisory. You made my day

I found your channel about 3-4 weeks ago, and subscribed after the first video. I then started watching a few each day from oldest to newest; today was the first time I disappointed. Not by the outcome of the restoration; I thought you did a great job, but the decision to add the unnecessary crude humor which I'd never share with anyone I know as you suggested. I hope the next few are void of the needless innuendo b/c I did enjoy giving a thumbs up each time.

nice job. looks great

Nice!!!

That was awesome. Thanks

Neat Job buddy !

Nice job!

Great video. Watched your 3 phase converter which brought me to your channel. Currently gather parts I need. Hope to have it build soon. Thank you

This video above beeing interesting was a even greater piece of commedy

That the neutral setting still worked at the beginning is a miracle at 28 of 35 at my work its broken

good job

That is a funny way to make coffee ! But Ill try it.

Good vid. Thanks.

Nice video! I am glad to see you are getting more active and allow yourself more jokes. Mes amitiés depuis l'autre côté de la Manche.

A good tip for when you are cutting something with threads, if you put a nut on above where you are cutting, after cutting, remove the nut, and it will help to clean up the threads.

Good job 👍👍👍

Nice refurb! I enjoy your videos very much... your 3 Phase Rotary Converter was particularly interesting... thinking of doing the same thing myself, so thanks for sharing. Greetings from Southport (it's not in the South and it's not a port!). You sound like you're a southerner... I'm from Oxford originally. Cheers matey!

Just bought a beat up BT. Friend of mine said: "The Cosmos will give you the pallet truck you can handle." :) Now, this one would be beyond repair for the majority. I wanted it because it's a BT and it has 90 cm forks. It needs work. Lots of work. Disassembly was tough. It has been sitting outside for a long time. Boy can those pins and axles get rusted in place. The central shaft running in the transverse direction still won't budge... will need some serious heat for that. I found a company not far away that can reline wheels, which is nice because the original BT wheels are very nice but original parts are quite expensive.

Felicitaciones

Man your videos are always awesome. Can't wait for more! Although i did not get why you machined down the axle instead of changing the bearing on the wheels to fit the original Shaft size.

You know your shit man respect

Very nice and relaxing video ;)

With the way the economy is going prices will come down - if you can afford it.. Anyway - your workshop is perfect for showcasing what can be done in a small workshop. You create really good content and know your stuff so it is very enjoyable to watch. And more parental warnings please - we dont want to traumatise the young viewers.

This is a happy experience in Kolkata

Really nicely explain, can we share dismentaling part of cylinder to know internal MSM of same

very enjoy

Excellent video! Did the new wheels in the back degrade the weight rating of the jack?

thank u mate! that was good work!.. do u have any suggestions or perhaps an already exiting video about restoring the hydraulic part its self?? thnx again mate, cheers!

Thank sir .

sweet!

I watched this video hoping you would change the oil seal on the secondary hydraulic pump as mine has gone and i have no idea how to fix it...but i did watch it all the way through, and glad i did, it was a really informative restoration. But i'm still none the wiser on repairing my issue 😕

You're white board drawings are on par with Engineering Explained's. He crams everything into his, at least yours are a bit easier to digest. :-)

Thanks, I will be attempting soon. worried about the hydraulic seals and special tool to handle the seals

Need a sandblaster mate, to remove the rust scale off the forks! The more like new you make it look, the better the resale price. Mate of mine has a side line refurbing and repairing pallet jacks, makes good money at it.

3.00, or 3:00 Best bit, good video, should show how the whole system operates the small wheels and pushes up etc on them also I thought to be 100% eould of been good

How to change hydraulic oil and o rings..please make a video on it

Wonderful! I wonder why about 80% of the pallet trucks in industry have problems with the lever. They don't stay in middle/neutral position. The lever is always down in pump up position. My old pallet truck also have this trouble. Any ideas why this happens and how to fix?

great job I got one pallet truck not lifting any chance I can call you for some advice please Jassi

Excellent videos, and full of bonmots!

I know this is a dumb question but ill ask. Can a scissor jack be modified to do wooden pallet jack? I tried looking for videos seems no one has showed any example of why you cannot mod it or use it.just wondering.also nice nice video man very nice restoration.

What's the pump body material?

What would cause the hydraulic to lose its pressure? When the slave cylinder is in the max position. Heavy weight is applied to the forks of the pallet Jack and won’t hold the pressure.

I worked in Hermes warehouse for a while using pallet trucks and it occurred to me that all these warehouses have a lot of not very well maintained pallet trucks! Even thought of trying to get a contract!

Those wheel bearings sounded rough?

Our Jack seems stuck in neutral. That is, I can’t get the lever handle to go up because of what feels like an obstruction. It also will not pump up, even though it is stuck in the down position.

The metal on the axel you needed to turn down for the smaller ID bearings.... What is it? I don't recognise the appearance of the glowing lumps of face melting metal. I'm not a machinist fyi.

A great video but.... Noooooo!!!!!!!! Bore out the wheels to take bigger bearings!!!! ;-) I bought an old pallet truck to repair for use and found the master cylinder was bent. I cut it off and welded on one I cut from an old bottle jack. Tested to 2 tons and it was fine. It just takes more pumps to lift it up as the master cylinder is now smaller. I fancy getting another one to play with now, maybe a high lift one.

سعبد برؤية هذا الفيديو و شكرا لك

Oh no the audio cut!... what did he say after: *_NEVER PUT YOUR FINGER WHERE YOU WOULDN'T PUT YOUR..._* your what exacltly? :)

Nobody ever talks about how much oil to put back in these? And how to get the air out. Can you tell me how much oil to use?

parental advisory lol

wait i have an ho scale pallet that's in blue

11:01 :DD

Good advice: Never put your finger where you wouldn't put your...

where is the bow tie???

I am thinking you could have bought a new one cheaper considering the time you spent . Nice work though

I am not sure why every one upset with hammarite very basic paint super easy washed away by road salt and other chemical compounds when moving pallets

Advice to live by, “never put your finger where you wouldn’t put your ****

Are you a teacher or tutor? I assume you must have an electrical and or mechanical degree..

Never put your finger where you wouldn't put your?

never put your finger where you not put your........looool

Those replacement wheels look suspiciously like lawnmower wheels. If so then they won't be taking the 2,500kg that the rest of the truck is rated to. But perhaps okay for whatever you have in mind for it. Nice reno, otherwise.
