Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the BJ 078518 poly load wheel fit?
A: The BJ 078518 is a 5-inch diameter polyurethane load wheel assembly designed for electric lift trucks manufactured by Big Joe and compatible models from other OEMs. Verify your equipment model and bearing specifications before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What are the specifications for the BJ 078518 wheel assembly?
A: The BJ 078518 is a 5-inch diameter polyurethane load wheel assembly. It features a solid polyurethane tread bonded to a steel core hub. The wheel is designed for material handling applications requiring smooth floor operation and load capacity support typical of electric pallet jack and lift truck platforms.
Q: How does polyurethane material perform in different environments?
A: Polyurethane wheels on the BJ 078518 provide good grip on smooth floors and perform well in dry warehouse environments. They wear at a moderate rate depending on load, floor conditions, and frequency of use. Polyurethane is more durable than standard rubber in abrasive environments but less suitable for wet or oily floors compared to specialized compounds.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of a poly load wheel assembly?
A: Polyurethane load wheel assemblies like the BJ 078518 typically last 1 to 3 years under regular warehouse duty, with lifespan dependent on load weight, floor surface texture, and daily usage hours. Higher tread wear indicates the wheel needs replacement. Inspect for flat spots, cracks, or separation from the core hub.
Q: Are there equivalent or cross-reference part numbers for the BJ 078518?
A: The BJ 078518 is the OEM part number for Big Joe equipment. Check your specific equipment documentation for fitment confirmation. If you need compatibility verification with other OEM brands like Crown, Toyota, or Raymond, contact us with your equipment model and serial range.
