Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 906-0023D polyurethane wheel and bearing assembly?
A: The 906-0023D is a preassembled load wheel and sealed bearing unit with polyurethane tread for manual pallet jacks. The polyurethane compound provides superior grip on standard warehouse floors while the sealed bearings are factory-lubricated for life and require no maintenance.
Q: What equipment does the 906-0023D fit?
A: The 906-0023D is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Wesco, and similar manufacturers that use a 0.78-inch bore axle. Confirm your jack has the proper axle bore and adequate frame width before ordering.
Q: How long will the 906-0023D wheel last in normal operation?
A: Polyurethane wheels typically last 2 to 5 years depending on load, floor conditions, and hours of use. Sealed bearing assemblies do not require maintenance and are designed for the full life of the wheel. Replace when tread depth visibly decreases or traction diminishes.
Q: Why use polyurethane instead of steel wheels?
A: Polyurethane wheels offer superior traction on dry and slightly damp floors, significantly reduce noise, are easier to push, and provide better floor protection compared to steel wheels. They are ideal for general warehouse, retail, and indoor material handling operations.
Q: What maintenance is required for the 906-0023D assembly?
A: No maintenance is required. The sealed bearing design eliminates the need for lubrication or greasing. Store in a cool, dry location when not in use to extend wheel life.
Q: How do I know when to replace the 906-0023D wheel?
A: Replace the wheel when tread depth noticeably decreases, visible wear appears, traction on floors diminishes, or noise or vibration increases during operation. Worn wheels reduce load capacity and handling safety.
