Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BI 85000870 fixed caster wheel?
A: The BI 85000870 is a Bishamon fixed caster wheel without brake or swivel capability. It rolls in one fixed direction and is used on material handling equipment where directional control is handled by other casters mounted on the same frame.
Q: How does a fixed caster differ from a swivel caster?
A: A fixed caster wheel does not rotate or pivot on its mounting point and rolls only in a forward or backward direction. Swivel casters rotate on the mounting stem, allowing multi-directional movement. Equipment typically combines both types for optimal maneuverability.
Q: What pallet jack models use the BI 85000870?
A: The BI 85000870 is designed for Bishamon material handling equipment. Confirm your equipment model and current caster specifications to ensure this fixed wheel is the correct direct replacement for your needs.
Q: What material is the BI 85000870 wheel made from?
A: Bishamon fixed caster wheels are typically made from polyurethane or rubber compounds. The exact material affects durability on different floor types and temperature conditions. Consult the product specification sheet to confirm the wheel compound for your specific application.
Q: Does the BI 85000870 have a brake?
A: No. The BI 85000870 is a fixed caster without brake capability. If you require brake functionality, verify that your equipment has brake casters mounted on other positions, or contact Bishamon for brake-equipped caster alternatives.
Q: What dimensions should I verify for the BI 85000870?
A: Confirm the wheel diameter, width, bolt hole spacing, and stem mounting height match your current fixed caster. Mismatched dimensions will cause fitment issues on your equipment frame.
