Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BG 1115-130007-40 and what equipment does it fit?
A: The BG 1115-130007-40 is a carbon steel load wheel axle shaft engineered for manual and electric pallet jacks with 3.25 inch by 4.5 inch load wheels. It fits Blue Giant EPJ40 series pallet jacks and cross-references with Big Joe 1115-130007-40 and Global Electric Pallet Truck model 988993 assemblies.
Q: What are the axle diameter and length specifications?
A: The BG 1115-130007-40 is 20 mm in diameter and 120 mm in overall length. The shaft features a machined, as-supplied carbon steel surface finish. Verify these dimensions match your load wheel hub bore and width before ordering.
Q: What material makes the BG 1115-130007-40 suitable for load wheel mounting?
A: The BG 1115-130007-40 uses carbon steel for its strength-to-weight ratio and wear resistance. Carbon steel provides the rigidity needed to prevent axle deflection under repeated load cycles, while resisting corrosion in warehouse and outdoor environments. The machined finish ensures proper bearing fit and smooth wheel rotation.
Q: Is the BG 1115-130007-40 compatible with Big Joe and Global Electric Pallet Truck models?
A: Yes. The BG 1115-130007-40 has cross-references with Big Joe part number 1115-130007-40 and is equivalent to the Global Electric Pallet Truck model 988993 assembly. Verify your equipment load wheel size is 3.25 inches by 4.5 inches before ordering.
Q: How long does this carbon steel axle shaft last in service?
A: Carbon steel axle shafts like the BG 1115-130007-40 typically last the operational life of the pallet jack when maintained properly. Service life depends on load capacity use, operation frequency, and environmental storage conditions. Replace the axle if it bends, corrodes severely, or if wheels no longer rotate freely due to damage.
