A: The BJ 078518 is designed for Big Joe manual pallet jacks and select electric lift truck models. Verify your specific equipment model and bearing specifications before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What are the performance characteristics of polyurethane wheels?
A: Polyurethane wheels provide good grip on smooth warehouse floors and perform well in dry environments. They wear at a moderate rate depending on load, floor texture, and usage frequency. Polyurethane offers excellent durability compared to rubber but is best suited for dry conditions rather than wet or oily floors.
Q: How long do polyurethane load wheels last?
A: Polyurethane load wheel assemblies typically last 1 to 3 years under regular warehouse duty. Lifespan depends on load weight, floor surface conditions, and daily operating hours. Inspect regularly for flat spots, cracks, or separation of the tread from the hub core.
Q: How can I verify this wheel will fit my equipment?
A: Check your equipment's documentation for wheel specifications including diameter, axle bore size, and hub type. Contact Big Joe customer service or your equipment manufacturer with your model number and serial range for fitment confirmation.
