Product Description
The Bishamon steer wheel assembly is a direct replacement steering wheel component designed for manual pallet jacks, specifically the BS-55 and BS-65 models. Built with a durable polyurethane tread for floor contact and a lightweight nylon hub, this assembly features two 20 mm ID precision ball bearings mounted in an axle-mount design for smooth, reliable steering performance. The sealed bearings are pre-lubricated and designed to provide long service life under typical warehouse operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What manual pallet jack models is this steer wheel assembly compatible with?
A: This assembly fits Bishamon BS-55 and BS-65 manual pallet jacks. Verify your jack model matches one of these two before ordering to ensure proper fitment and performance.
Q: What materials are used in this steer wheel assembly?
A: The assembly features a polyurethane tread for floor contact and a nylon hub for the wheel body. Polyurethane provides excellent wear resistance and floor grip on typical warehouse surfaces, while the nylon hub keeps the assembly lightweight.
Q: What bearing specifications does this assembly have?
A: This steer wheel assembly is equipped with two precision ball bearings, each with a 20 mm inner diameter (ID). The bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated to provide smooth rotation and reliable steering performance under loaded conditions.
Q: What are the alternate part numbers for this assembly?
A: Cross-reference numbers include 12061733-A2-ST, Bishamon 12061733-A2-ST, and BS12061733-A2-ST. All reference the same factory-spec steer wheel assembly. Any of these numbers will identify the correct part.
Q: How long does the polyurethane tread typically last?
A: Polyurethane tread life depends on usage intensity, floor type, and load patterns. In typical warehouse environments with moderate use, expect 18 to 36 months of service before noticeable wear reduces steering precision. Rough concrete or high-frequency pivoting accelerates wear. Inspect for flat spots or hardening, which indicate replacement is needed.
Q: Can the bearings be lubricated or serviced?
A: The sealed precision ball bearings are pre-lubricated and not user-serviceable. They cannot be re-greased. When bearings become rough or seized, replace the entire steer wheel assembly. Regular visual inspection for play or noise will indicate bearing degradation.
Q: What should I do if the wheel becomes difficult to turn?
A: Difficulty turning typically indicates bearing wear or damage. Inspect the assembly for noise, grinding, or excessive lateral play. If the sealed bearings are compromised, the entire assembly should be replaced. Do not attempt to force or over-lubricate sealed bearings.
