Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BI 02589240 steer wheel assembly used for?
A: The BI 02589240 is a steering wheel assembly for Bishamon manual pallet jacks. The steer wheel controls direction and maneuverability of the pallet jack and is mounted at the front of the frame.
Q: What causes steer wheel assembly failure?
A: Steer wheel assemblies can fail due to bearing wear, swivel joint deterioration, polyurethane wheel degradation, or cracked wheel brackets. Symptoms include pulling to one side, hard steering, wheel wobble, or inability to maintain straight movement.
Q: How often should a steer wheel assembly be replaced?
A: Steer wheel assembly lifespan depends on usage intensity, floor conditions, and load weight. Wheels used in wet or cold storage environments degrade faster than dry environments. Regular inspection helps identify wear before complete failure affects pallet jack handling.
Q: Does the BI 02589240 fit all Bishamon pallet jack models?
A: Steer wheel assemblies are model-specific. Do not assume the BI 02589240 fits your Bishamon pallet jack without verifying the exact model. Contact us with your pallet jack model and serial number to confirm compatibility.
