BG 105-749

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is BG 105-749?
A: BG 105-749 is a genuine Blue Giant tape seal designed for hydraulic pump assemblies in manual pallet jacks. It is manufactured from composite elastomeric material to prevent hydraulic fluid leakage and maintain reliable system pressure during standard duty cycles.

Q: Which Blue Giant pallet jack models use BG 105-749?
A: BG 105-749 fits Blue Giant manual pallet jack pump cartridges and equivalent models. It is designed for use in standard manual pallet jack hydraulic pump assemblies. Verify your pump cartridge model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the material composition of BG 105-749?
A: BG 105-749 is manufactured from composite elastomeric material engineered for hydraulic fluid compatibility. The elastomer provides flexibility and durability required for positive sealing at pump pressure. This material resists degradation from standard hydraulic mineral oils.

Q: What are signs that BG 105-749 needs replacement?
A: Replace BG 105-749 if you observe hydraulic fluid leakage from the pump cartridge area, slow hydraulic response, difficulty maintaining pressure, or low fluid level caused by external leakage. Tape seal failure allows fluid to escape the pump assembly.

Q: How long does BG 105-749 last in service?
A: Under normal duty, BG 105-749 lasts 3-7 years depending on operating temperature and duty cycles. High ambient temperatures and continuous operation reduce seal lifespan. Cold storage environments may extend lifespan. Inspect seals annually for signs of hardening or deterioration.

Q: Can BG 105-749 be used with synthetic hydraulic fluid?
A: BG 105-749 is designed for standard mineral-based hydraulic oils. Some synthetic fluids may not be compatible with this elastomer composition. If using synthetic hydraulic fluid, verify compatibility with Blue Giant or contact us to confirm BG 105-749 will function correctly.
