Product Description
The BJ 079162 is a polyurethane drive tire engineered for high-load material handling applications. Featuring a 95-A durometer hardness rating, this tire provides excellent grip, traction, and load-carrying capacity for Big Joe electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. The softer polyurethane compound delivers superior floor contact and cushioning compared to standard 97-A compounds, making it ideal for demanding warehouse and logistics environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 95A rating mean?
A: The 95A designation indicates a polyurethane durometer hardness rating of 95-A on the Shore A scale. This is a slightly softer compound than 97-A, providing improved grip and load cushioning for high-capacity material handling applications.
Q: Is this tire suitable for high-load applications?
A: Yes, the BJ 079162 is specifically rated for high-load applications. The polyurethane formulation at 95-A hardness is designed to handle heavier unit loads and extended duty cycles while maintaining grip and durability.
Q: What equipment is this tire compatible with?
A: The BJ 079162 is designed for Big Joe electric pallet jacks and lift trucks rated for high-load service. Verify your equipment model and load rating against tire specifications before ordering.
Q: How does 95A compare to standard 97A in terms of grip?
A: The softer 95A polyurethane compound provides superior grip and traction compared to 97A, especially on smooth or slippery floor surfaces. This makes it ideal for wet environments or facilities where traction is critical.
Q: What is the typical service life of this tire?
A: High-load 95A polyurethane tires typically last 2 to 4 years depending on usage intensity and load weight. Heavy-duty operations may experience shorter service life due to increased wear. Regular inspection is recommended.
