Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the wheel diameter and material of the BJ 054601?
A: The BJ 054601 is a rubber caster assembly with a 6 inch diameter wheel. Rubber wheels provide improved traction and floor protection compared to steel wheels.

A: The BJ 054601 rubber caster assembly is designed for Big Joe electric pallet truck models configured for rubber wheel assemblies. Cross-reference your equipment serial number and model to confirm fitment.
Q: Why choose a rubber wheel instead of steel or polyurethane?
A: Rubber wheels offer excellent floor grip and noise reduction, making them ideal for clean facilities and environments where floor protection is important. Rubber is softer than polyurethane or steel, providing cushioning and traction on hard floors.
Q: Is the BJ 054601 suitable for cold storage or wet environments?
A: Standard rubber wheels may lose grip in cold storage below freezing temperatures. For wet or cold storage applications, verify the rubber compound specification or consider high-traction polyurethane wheel options.
Q: What factors affect the lifespan of the BJ 054601 rubber caster?
A: Lifespan is affected by load weight, usage frequency, ambient temperature, and floor type. Rubber wheels deteriorate faster in extreme cold or when exposed to UV light or chemical spills. Inspect regularly for cracks, hardening, or flat spots.
