Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 1120-132000-1A tension bar used for?
A: The BJ 1120-132000-1A is an OEM tension bar component for Big Joe WPT45 electric pallet trucks. The tension bar maintains structural rigidity and load distribution in the lower link assembly during load lifting and steering operations.
Q: What material is the BJ 1120-132000-1A tension bar made from?
A: The BJ 1120-132000-1A is constructed from steel to withstand repeated loading and steering cycles. The specific material composition and cross-sectional dimensions depend on the WPT45 generation. Verify your equipment serial number and revision to confirm tension bar specifications.
Q: How do I know if the BJ 1120-132000-1A tension bar is damaged?
A: Inspect the tension bar for visible bends, cracks, or stress fractures. If the truck exhibits unstable steering, sideways drift, or uneven load tilt, the tension bar may be compromised. If lifting becomes difficult or uneven, check the tension bar for deformation.
Q: Can the BJ 1120-132000-1A tension bar be repaired or must it be replaced?
A: The BJ 1120-132000-1A should be replaced, not repaired. Welding or bending damaged steel can affect load strength and structural integrity. A bent or cracked tension bar compromises truck safety and performance.
Q: What is the load rating for the BJ 1120-132000-1A tension bar?
A: The tension bar is engineered to support the full rated capacity of the WPT45 pallet truck. Load rating depends on your specific equipment configuration and capacity rating. Confirm your truck load capacity from the equipment spec plate.
Q: How often should the BJ 1120-132000-1A tension bar be inspected?
A: Inspect the tension bar as part of routine equipment maintenance. In high-use environments, inspect quarterly. Check for new cracks, bends, or loose fastener connections. Replace immediately if damage is detected.
