Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of bearing is the BR 28700-267?
A: The BR 28700-267 is a sealed roller bearing assembly used in manual and electric pallet jack drive systems. The sealed design prevents contamination from dust and moisture commonly found in warehouse and distribution environments, extending service life significantly.
Q: What is the load capacity of the BR 28700-267?
A: The BR 28700-267 bearing is rated for standard material handling loads up to 5,500 pounds per axle assembly in typical pallet jack applications. Do not exceed rated capacity as this will cause premature bearing failure and loss of load wheel control.
Q: Which pallet jack brands does the BR 28700-267 fit?
A: The BR 28700-267 bearing is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Yale, Raymond, and Toyota, as well as many entry-level electric pallet jack models. Confirm your specific equipment model before ordering. The bearing fits standard 5/8-inch diameter axles used across most major manufacturers.
Q: How long does the BR 28700-267 bearing typically last?
A: Under normal warehouse operating conditions with loads under 5,000 pounds, the BR 28700-267 has an expected service life of 3-4 years. Excessive loads, impact damage, or contamination from water or chemicals will reduce lifespan significantly. Inspect bearings at 18-month intervals for noise or play.
Q: Is the BR 28700-267 a sealed or open bearing design?
A: The BR 28700-267 features a sealed bearing design with integral seals on both sides. Seals protect against dust ingress and moisture contamination, eliminating the need for field lubrication. Sealed design makes this bearing maintenance-free during its service life.
Q: What symptoms indicate the BR 28700-267 needs replacement?
A: Replace the BR 28700-267 bearing when you observe grinding noise during load wheel rotation, loose or wobbly load wheels, or visible bearing play when the axle is spun by hand. Worn bearings cause lateral instability and increase stopping distances on loaded units.
