Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BA 115311 load wheel?
A: The BA 115311 is a load wheel (also called a guide wheel or support wheel) for electric lift trucks. It rolls along vertical mast rails to guide and stabilize the load during lift and lower operations. Load wheels wear and require periodic replacement.
Q: Which lift truck brands use the BA 115311 load wheel?
A: The BA 115311 fits Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster electric lift trucks. Load wheel compatibility depends on mast rail width and wheel diameter. Verify your mast model number before ordering.
Q: What material is the BA 115311 load wheel made from?
A: The BA 115311 features a polyurethane wheel compound bonded to a metal hub. Polyurethane provides durability, resistance to water and oils, and smooth rolling contact with steel mast rails. The material is rated for standard warehouse conditions.
Q: How long does the BA 115311 load wheel last?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on load weight, mast height cycles, and floor conditions. Expect 2 to 5 years in typical warehouse service. Replace when you see flat spots, cracks, or excessive wear that reduces load control and mast stability.
Q: What is the difference between the BA 115311 wheel and a complete wheel assembly?
A: The BA 115311 is the individual load wheel only. A complete wheel assembly includes the wheel, hub, and bearing pre-mounted. Use BA 115311 only if replacing just the wheel. Order a full assembly if you need all components ready to install.
Q: How do I know when the BA 115311 needs replacement?
A: Inspect load wheels regularly during routine lift truck maintenance. Replace the BA 115311 when you observe flat spots where the wheel contacts mast rails, visible cracks in the polyurethane, or excessive wear that affects load centering or mast stability.
Q: How should the BA 115311 load wheel be stored?
A: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid stacking heavy items on wheels, which can cause permanent deformation. Keep separate from sharp objects or corrosive chemicals that could damage the polyurethane facing.
