Bearing Assembly - Single Shield

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What manual pallet jack models use the APGP-1200 bearing assembly?
A: The APGP-1200 single-shield bearing assembly is designed for manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other OEM manufacturers. Verify your pallet jack model number and serial range to ensure compatibility before ordering.

Q: What does the single-shield configuration mean for the APGP-1200?
A: Single-shield means the bearing has a protective dust cover on one side, protecting the rolling elements from contaminants while allowing access to the grease fitting on the open side. This design is common in manual pallet jack load wheel and caster bearings.

Q: Is the APGP-1200 bearing assembly sealed or open to lubrication?
A: The single-shield design is semi-sealed. The shield protects from external contamination, but the bearing is not fully sealed. You can access the bearing for periodic greasing through the open side or via a grease fitting. This allows maintenance without disassembly.

Q: How long does an APGP-1200 bearing assembly last in a manual pallet jack?
A: With regular maintenance and proper lubrication, manual pallet jack bearing assemblies typically last 3 to 5 years or longer. Lifespan depends on load intensity, usage frequency, and environmental conditions. Bearings in clean, dry warehouses last longer than those exposed to moisture or harsh outdoor conditions.

Q: What is equivalent to the APGP-1200 bearing assembly?
A: The APGP-1200 may have cross-reference part numbers from different OEM and aftermarket brands. For accurate equivalents, provide your pallet jack model, manufacturer, and serial number to our parts team. We can verify compatibility and identify alternative part numbers if needed.

Q: What inspection and maintenance schedule does the APGP-1200 require?
A: Inspect bearing assemblies monthly for smooth operation and proper grease level. Grease every 100 to 200 operating hours depending on duty cycle. After greasing, rotate the wheel by hand to distribute lubricant. If the bearing feels rough or sounds noisy after greasing, replace the assembly.
