Product Description
Load Roller (Uses Bearing Cup)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BI 12103324 load roller and how is it used?
A: The BI 12103324 is a load roller component designed for Bishamon manual pallet jacks. This roller uses a bearing cup design, which means it relies on a separate bearing cup component to seat the wheel onto the carriage axle.
Q: What does bearing cup mean and why does this component require one?
A: A bearing cup is a separate machined component that holds a ball bearing in place. Assemblies using bearing cup design separate the wheel/tire from the bearing mount, allowing the bearing cup to be replaced independently if the bearing wears while the wheel remains serviceable.
Q: Is the BI 12103324 a complete load wheel assembly or a partial component?
A: The BI 12103324 is a load roller component, not a complete assembly. It will require a bearing cup and mounting hardware to function. Verify your jack model to determine the correct bearing cup part number and assembly configuration.
Q: How does the bearing cup design compare to sealed bearing assemblies?
A: Bearing cup designs offer modular serviceability where individual components can be replaced. However, sealed bearing assemblies are more commonly used in modern manual pallet jacks because they are sealed against contamination and require no separate bearing cup purchase or assembly.
Q: What should I verify before ordering the BI 12103324 for my Bishamon jack?
A: Verify your jack model number and serial range, then confirm the exact bearing cup part number required for this roller. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other Bishamon models, as bearing cup specifications vary across product generations and series.
