BU 47MM HC

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BU 47MM HC hub cap and what function does it serve?
A: The BU 47MM HC is a steer wheel hub cap designed for Bishamon pallet jacks. The HC designation indicates hub cap. Hub caps retain bearings and bushings within the wheel assembly, prevent dirt and debris from contaminating internal components, and provide an external wear surface. The 47 mm dimension refers to the hub cap bore or mounting diameter.

Q: Which Bishamon pallet jack models use the BU 47MM HC hub cap?
A: The BU 47MM HC hub cap is compatible with Bishamon BS55 (also referenced as BS 55 or BS-55) pallet jacks. This is a factory OEM steer wheel component. Verify your equipment model matches before ordering.

Q: What material and finish does the BU 47MM HC have?
A: Contact us for detailed material and finish specifications of the BU 47MM HC. Hub caps are typically manufactured from steel or ductile iron with either painted, zinc-plated, or machined finishes depending on corrosion environment. The specific grade affects durability in wet or cold storage applications.

Q: How do I know if the BU 47MM HC hub cap needs replacement?
A: Replace the BU 47MM HC if you observe cracks, severe corrosion, missing material, or if the hub cap no longer seats securely on the wheel assembly. A damaged hub cap allows contaminants into the bearing cavity, accelerating bearing and bushing wear. Inspect hub caps during routine wheel maintenance.

Q: Is the BU 47MM HC available as a replacement part or only as an OEM component?
A: The BU 47MM HC is available as a replacement part for Bishamon BS55 pallet jacks. This is an authentic factory OEM component. Contact our parts team to place an order or to confirm the correct hub cap specification for your equipment.
