Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the BG 020-034-N wheel body made from?
A: The BG 020-034-N features a one-piece glass-filled nylon polymer body. This construction provides impact resistance for manual pallet jack duty. Glass filling adds rigidity and reduces deflection under heavy side loads during steering.
Q: Does the BG 020-034-N come with sealed bearings?
A: Yes. The BG 020-034-N includes sealed ball bearings to protect against dirt and moisture ingress. Sealed bearings require minimal maintenance and extend service life compared to open bearing designs. This is the predecessor to newer sealed bearing models.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the BG 020-034-N?
A: The BG 020-034-N measures 8 inches in diameter, 2 inches in width, and has a 2-inch bore. The 1-inch bearing ID fits standard 20 millimeter axles. Confirm these dimensions match your current wheel before ordering.
Q: Which newer models supersede the BG 020-034-N?
A: The BG 020-034-N has been superseded by BG 020-034-A, BG 020-034-A-ST, and BG 020-034-N-A variants. These newer models offer improved tread materials and hub finishes. If you currently use BG 020-034-N, you can upgrade to any of these cross-reference parts for PT-50 jacks.
Q: Is the BG 020-034-N suitable for high-impact applications?
A: Yes. The glass-filled nylon body absorbs impact energy and resists cracking under heavy-duty manual handling. However, the nylon tread compound offers less traction than polyurethane alternatives. For wet floors or outdoor use, consider upgraded models with poly or ultra-poly tread.
