Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BI 85000870 fixed caster wheel and what is its purpose?
A: The BI 85000870 is a Bishamon OEM 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.
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: Which pallet jack models use the BI 85000870 fixed caster?
A: The BI 85000870 is a Bishamon fixed caster designed for compatible pallet jack models. Confirm your equipment model and current caster specifications to ensure this fixed wheel is the correct replacement.
Q: What material is the BI 85000870 wheel made from?
A: Bishamon caster wheels are typically made from polyurethane or rubber compounds. The exact material affects durability on different floor types and temperature conditions. Check product specifications to confirm the wheel compound for your application.
Q: Does the BI 85000870 have a brake?
A: No. The BI 85000870 is a fixed caster without brake capability. If you need brake functionality, order the BI 85000860 caster with brake or verify that your equipment has brake casters mounted on other positions.
Q: What dimensions do I need to verify for the BI 85000870?
A: Confirm the wheel diameter, width, bolt hole spacing, and stem mounting height match your current fixed caster specifications. Mismatched dimensions will cause fitment issues on the equipment frame.
