Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 078654 poly wheel assembly?
A: The BJ 078654 is a polyurethane load wheel assembly designed for electric lift trucks and material handling equipment. The polyurethane construction provides superior traction and grip on wet, slippery, and cold storage floors while reducing operational noise.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the BJ 078654?
A: The BJ 078654 is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Clark, Nissan, and Kalmar. Confirm your equipment model and serial range to verify correct fitment before purchasing.
Q: When should I choose a poly wheel over steel?
A: Use poly wheels like the BJ 078654 in facilities with wet floors, freezer operations, icy ramps, or outdoor material handling areas. Poly wheels offer better traction and safety on challenging surfaces compared to steel wheels. For dry warehouse environments, steel wheels offer greater load capacity.
Q: What material is the BJ 078654 wheel made from?
A: The BJ 078654 features a polyurethane wheel compound bonded to a steel core. Polyurethane provides excellent grip on wet and frozen surfaces, noise dampening, and reasonable abrasion resistance in industrial applications.
Q: How long does a poly wheel like the BJ 078654 last?
A: Poly load wheels typically last 2 to 3 years in standard use. Lifespan varies based on facility conditions, floor type, usage intensity, and maintenance practices. Wet or cold storage environments may require more frequent replacement due to increased wear.
Q: How should I store and maintain poly wheels?
A: Store the BJ 078654 indoors in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can degrade polyurethane. Inspect wheels regularly for cracks, flat spots, or uneven wear. Clean wheels periodically to remove debris and contaminants that may affect performance.
