Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 12061733-S steel steer wheel assembly?
A: The 12061733-S is a steel steer wheel assembly for Bishamon BS-55 and BS-65 manual pallet jacks. It features a hardened steel tread and machined steel hub with dual sealed bearings (20mm and 25mm ID). The steel construction provides superior durability for heavy-load and high-wear applications.
Q: How do the bearing sizes in the 12061733-S differ from other steer wheels?
A: The 12061733-S incorporates two sealed bearings with different bore diameters: 20mm ID and 25mm ID. This dual-size configuration optimizes load distribution and directional control. Ensure bearing sizes match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What makes the 12061733-S suitable for heavy-duty environments?
A: The hardened steel tread and machined steel hub resist wear from frequent steering, heavy loads, and rough flooring. Steel construction does not compress or degrade like polyurethane. The sealed bearing arrangement supports extended operation in demanding warehouse and industrial settings.
Q: What are the cross-reference and equivalent part numbers for the 12061733-S?
A: The 12061733-S is referenced as BI12061733-S1 (Bishamon part number). Cross-references include 12061733-S1 and BS12061733-S1. The part replaces and supersedes the 12061733-S1 designation. Verify your equipment documentation to confirm the exact part number needed.
Q: How long does a steel steer wheel assembly like the 12061733-S typically last?
A: Steel wheel assemblies typically last 5 to 10 years or longer under normal use, depending on load frequency and maintenance. The sealed bearings are the wear component. Replace bearings or the entire assembly if steering resistance increases or grinding sounds develop.
Q: Is the 12061733-S interchangeable with the polyurethane 12061733?
A: Both the steel 12061733-S and polyurethane 12061733 are designed for Bishamon BS-55 and BS-65 pallet jacks, but they have different bearing configurations and tread materials. Verify that bore diameters and mounting points match your equipment before substituting one for the other.
