Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 2310-161073 polyurethane caster wheel used for?
A: The BJ 2310-161073 is a polyurethane caster wheel designed for electric pallet trucks and material handling equipment. Caster wheels provide directional control and smooth maneuverability compared to fixed load wheels on the truck frame.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the BJ 2310-161073 caster wheel?
A: The BJ 2310-161073 is compatible with various Big Joe and equivalent electric pallet truck models. Verify compatibility by comparing the current caster wheel part number on your equipment or consulting the equipment manual for caster wheel specifications.
Q: Why is polyurethane used for caster wheels on the BJ 2310-161073?
A: Polyurethane provides superior durability, wear resistance, and load capacity for caster applications. It performs well on concrete, tile, and asphalt floors, resists moisture and chemicals, and maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range including cold storage operations.
Q: How does the BJ 2310-161073 caster wheel affect equipment maneuverability?
A: Caster wheels allow the truck to pivot and turn smoothly in tight spaces. The polyurethane construction on the BJ 2310-161073 reduces rolling resistance and provides responsive steering control, improving operator efficiency in narrow warehouse aisles and congested areas.
Q: What is the typical service life of the BJ 2310-161073 caster wheel?
A: The BJ 2310-161073 typically provides 2-4 years of service under normal warehouse conditions. Heavy-duty use, rough floor surfaces, or wet environments may shorten lifespan. Replace when the wheel develops flat spots, cracks, wobbles, or exhibits steering resistance.
Q: Are there alternative part numbers or cross-references for the BJ 2310-161073?
A: Cross-reference information depends on equipment compatibility and wheel specifications. Contact us with your equipment model, current caster wheel part number, or dimensional requirements to identify compatible alternatives or verify the correct replacement.
