Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the BI B2000153 and the BI B2000152?
A: The BI B2000153 is a fixed caster without brake, while the BI B2000152 includes an integral brake. Do not interchange these parts. Using a non-braked caster on brake-equipped equipment will cause the jack to roll freely and create a safety hazard. Always verify which caster type your equipment requires.
Q: Which pallet jack models use the BI B2000153 caster without brake?
A: The BI B2000153 fits manual pallet jacks and material handling equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar OEM manufacturers that are designed for non-braked caster operation. Confirm bolt hole spacing and diameter against your equipment documentation before ordering.
Q: Can I upgrade from a non-braked caster to a braked caster on my equipment?
A: Upgrading to a braked caster requires that your equipment frame and steering linkage are designed to accommodate brake actuation. Equipment designed for non-braked operation cannot be modified to use braked casters without redesign. Always use the caster type specified for your equipment model.
Q: What maintenance does the BI B2000153 non-braked caster require?
A: Inspect the wheel regularly for wear, flat spots, or material loss. Clean debris from the wheel and swivel bearing. Replace the caster when wheel damage affects rolling performance or floor contact. Non-braked casters require no brake adjustment or service.
Q: What wheel sizes and materials are available for the BI B2000153?
A: The BI B2000153 is available with different wheel diameters and materials such as polyurethane or nylon. Material choice affects durability and floor compatibility. Verify the exact specifications for your equipment model to ensure correct sizing and material match.
