Polyurethane Wheel and Bearing Assembly for Pallet Jacks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What equipment is this wheel assembly designed for?
A: This polyurethane wheel and bearing assembly (167605D) is designed for manual pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks used in warehouse and dock environments. Matches standard jack wheel axles.

Q: What are the key specifications?
A: The wheel features a 95A durometer polyurethane tread and precision sealed bearings. The core is polyurethane bonded to a steel hub for durability and load-bearing capability.

Q: Which manual pallet jack brands use this size wheel?
A: The standard sizes compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Clark, and other major manufacturers. Verify your equipment specifications before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Q: What does 95A durometer mean?
A: The 95A durometer rating indicates a hard, wear-resistant polyurethane compound. This hardness level provides excellent load-bearing capacity and extended service life for heavy-duty warehouse use on concrete and similar hard surfaces, resisting degradation from repeated use and heavy loads.

Q: How do sealed bearings benefit performance?
A: Precision sealed bearings reduce friction, prevent dust and moisture contamination, extend bearing service life, maintain smooth wheel rotation, and reduce ongoing maintenance compared to open bearing designs. This sealed design ensures reliable performance in warehouse conditions.

Q: When should this wheel be replaced?
A: Replace when tread wear becomes noticeably reduced, when bearings become noisy or difficult to rotate, or when visual inspection reveals cracks or damage to the wheel or hub. Regular inspection during routine equipment maintenance helps identify replacement needs early.

Q: Should wheels be replaced in sets?
A: While not always required, replacing wheels in matched sets ensures balanced load distribution and consistent braking performance. Check your equipment manual or consult with a service technician regarding best practices for your specific pallet jack model.

Q: How should wheels be stored when not in use?
A: Store wheels in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Storing in humid or excessively hot conditions may affect polyurethane performance and bearing condition.

Q: Which manual pallet jacks does this load wheel fit?
A: This wheel assembly is designed as a direct replacement for standard manual pallet trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar OEM manufacturers. The 0.79 inch bore matches common jack wheel axles. Verify your equipment bore size and hub length before ordering.

Q: What does the 95A durometer polyurethane tread mean for durability?
A: The 95A durometer indicates a hard, wear-resistant polyurethane compound suitable for heavy-duty warehouse and dock applications. This hardness provides excellent load-bearing capacity and extended service life under repeated use on concrete and similar hard surfaces typical in material handling.

Q: How do precision sealed bearings improve wheel performance?
A: Precision sealed bearings reduce friction and prevent contamination from dust, moisture, and debris. This sealed design extends bearing life, maintains smooth wheel rotation, and reduces maintenance requirements compared to open bearing designs.

Q: What is the expected service life for this wheel assembly?
A: Service life depends on load capacity, floor conditions, and frequency of use. The 95A durometer polyurethane and sealed bearings are engineered for 12 to 24 months of typical warehouse use. Inspect wheels regularly for tread wear and bearing condition. Replace when tread depth is noticeably reduced or bearings become noisy.
