Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the BHP-022N-ST wheel?
A: The BHP-022N-ST is a load wheel with a polyurethane tread and nylon core. The polyurethane compound provides traction and wear resistance suitable for material handling equipment used in standard warehouse and light industrial environments.
Q: What material handling equipment is the BHP-022N-ST compatible with?
A: The BHP-022N-ST is designed for pallet jacks and material handling equipment that use wheels. Before ordering, verify that your equipment accepts a wheel and confirm the wheel bore and axle dimensions match your mounting hardware.
Q: Why is polyurethane used as the tread material on this wheel?
A: Polyurethane tread provides superior wear resistance, load-bearing capacity, and traction compared to softer materials. It is durable in indoor warehouse conditions and resists degradation from oils, moisture, and moderate temperature variations common in material handling operations.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the BHP-022N-ST wheel?
A: Polyurethane wheels typically last 2 to 5 years depending on load, frequency of use, floor surfaces, and maintenance. Heavy use on rough floors reduces lifespan. Monitor the wheel for flat spots, cracks, or excessive wear. Replace when tread thickness becomes uneven or the wheel no longer rolls smoothly.
Q: Can the BHP-022N-ST be used alongside other wheel sizes on the same equipment?
A: No. All wheels on the same pallet jack must be the same diameter and have similar tread wear to ensure level operation and balanced load distribution. Mixing different wheel sizes or materials causes uneven handling and premature wear on suspension components.
Q: How should the BHP-022N-ST wheel be maintained?
A: Inspect wheels regularly for debris, cracks, flat spots, and uneven wear. Clean wheels with a damp cloth to remove dust and oils. Store wheels in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight. Do not expose to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals that may degrade the polyurethane.
