Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the 3788472 and the 3788471 bearing?
A: The 3788472 is a full bearing assembly without shield designation, while the 3788471 is single-shield. The 3788472 offers an open bearing design suitable for general warehouse use. Consult your equipment manual or contact us with your pallet jack model to determine which bearing type your equipment requires.
Q: Which pallet jack brands use the 3788472 bearing assembly?
A: The 3788472 bearing assembly fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Linde, and other OEM manufacturers. This bearing is commonly used on load wheels and steering wheel assemblies across multiple truck models. Verify your specific truck model number and serial range for compatibility.
Q: What maintenance does the 3788472 bearing require?
A: Open bearings like the 3788472 benefit from occasional lubrication. Periodic greasing keeps the bearing rolling smoothly and extends lifespan. In dirty warehouse environments, inspect bearings quarterly for debris accumulation. Replace the bearing if you notice grinding noise, rough rolling, or visible rust.
Q: What is the rated load capacity for the 3788472?
A: The 3788472 bearing assembly is rated for standard manual pallet jack wheel loads, typically 1000 to 2500 pounds per wheel. Exceeding the rated load causes accelerated bearing wear and wheel failure. Never use on equipment rated above your jack capacity.
Q: How do I know if the 3788472 bearing is worn out?
A: Signs of bearing wear include grinding or squealing sounds during operation, excessive wheel wobble or play, difficulty steering smoothly, and visible rust or corrosion on the bearing races. If the wheel does not spin freely or resistance increases suddenly, the bearing requires replacement.
