Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the PM 01.13-FB steer wheel?
A: The PM 01.13-FB steer wheel has an 8 inch outer diameter with a 2 inch tread width. The bearing bore measures 1.75 inches. These dimensions are critical for fitment verification on your manual pallet jack steering assembly.
Q: Which Palletmaster manual pallet jack models does the PM 01.13-FB fit?
A: The PM 01.13-FB is designed as an OEM steer wheel replacement for Palletmaster manual pallet jack models. Cross-reference part numbers include PM 01.13FB and PM 01.13 FB. Verify the bearing bore of your equipment matches 1.75 inches before ordering.
Q: What materials is the PM 01.13-FB constructed from?
A: The PM 01.13-FB features a polyurethane tread bonded to an aluminum hub. Polyurethane provides good wear resistance in dry warehouse conditions. The aluminum hub resists corrosion better than steel in most material handling environments.
Q: How long does the PM 01.13-FB typically last before replacement?
A: Steer wheel lifespan depends on floor conditions, load weights, and usage frequency. The polyurethane tread typically requires replacement after 12 to 24 months of regular warehouse operation. Replace the wheel immediately if tread is worn below 0.5 inches or if the wheel shows flat spots or cracks.
Q: Does the PM 01.13-FB include a bearing assembly?
A: The PM 01.13-FB is a wheel assembly with a 1.75 inch bearing bore designed to accept standard manual pallet jack bearings. Verify that your jack uses the correct bearing size before installation.
Q: Can the PM 01.13-FB be used on wet or outdoor floors?
A: The standard polyurethane tread on the PM 01.13-FB offers moderate traction in dry conditions. For wet storage, cold rooms, or outdoor use, consider a high-traction polyurethane compound variant for improved grip and safety.
