LOAD ROLLER
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a load roller and what does it do on a pallet jack?
A: A load roller is the wheel assembly that supports and rolls the load during pallet jack operation. The BI MEC-B200132 is the load-bearing wheel that contacts the pallet or goods. Unlike directional casters, load rollers typically do not pivot and handle the bulk of the weight.
Q: Which pallet jack models use the BI MEC-B200132 load roller?
A: The BI MEC-B200132 is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and Yale. Confirm your equipment manufacturer and serial range match this part number before purchasing.
Q: What is the wheel diameter and width of this load roller?
A: Load roller dimensions vary by equipment model. The BI MEC-B200132 has specific diameter and width specifications matched to your pallet jack chassis. Contact us with your equipment model to confirm exact dimensions before ordering.
Q: What material is the BI MEC-B200132 wheel made from?
A: This load roller typically uses polyurethane or nylon construction. Polyurethane wheels offer superior durability and grip on smooth and wet surfaces. Nylon provides lower rolling resistance and cost efficiency for light-duty applications.
Q: How do I know if the load roller needs replacement?
A: Replace the BI MEC-B200132 if you observe flat spots, uneven wear, cracking, loss of elasticity, or difficulty rolling smoothly. Worn load rollers can cause uneven load distribution, steering issues, and equipment damage. Inspect regularly during routine maintenance.
Q: What is the expected service life of this load roller?
A: Typical service life is 2-5 years depending on load frequency, surface conditions, and maintenance. Heavy-duty operations or rough flooring may reduce lifespan. Regular cleaning and inspection will help maximize durability.
