Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BA FM5803801 load wheel designed for?
A: The BA FM5803801 is a replacement load wheel for Baldwin electric lift trucks and compatible equipment from Crown, Toyota, and Raymond. It is the wheel only, without hub or bearings, so it must be installed on an existing or new axle assembly.
Q: What wheel diameter and width are standard for this part?
A: Specific dimensions are in the part documentation. Contact us with your lift truck model and serial range to confirm wheel size. Ordering the wrong diameter or width will result in improper load distribution and handling.
Q: Is this wheel polyurethane or solid rubber?
A: The BA FM5803801 features a polyurethane compound designed for general warehouse and material handling use. Polyurethane offers good traction, durability, and floor grip on most indoor surfaces. If you require cold storage or wet floor performance, confirm whether an EZ (high traction) compound version is available.
Q: Can I use this wheel as a replacement on a different lift truck brand?
A: Not without verification. The wheel diameter, bore hole, and mounting must match your equipment. Some wheels are interchangeable across brands if dimensions align, but others are not. Do not assume compatibility; contact us with your equipment specifications for confirmation.
Q: How often should I replace this load wheel?
A: Inspect the wheel quarterly for wear, cracks, flat spots, or hardening. Replace when sidewall cracks develop, load deflection increases noticeably, or floor grip is compromised. In high-volume operations, replacement every 2 to 3 years is typical.
