Product Description
Poly Drive Tire, 90-92A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the durometer rating on the BJ 502280 poly drive tire?
A: The BJ 502280 is a polyurethane drive tire with a 90-92A durometer rating. This hardness provides a balance between load capacity and floor grip for general warehouse and manufacturing environments. Higher durometer polyurethane compounds are more resistant to wear and chemical damage than lower ratings.
Q: Which electric lift truck models accept the BJ 502280 drive tire?
A: The BJ 502280 poly drive tire is compatible with multiple OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric pallet jacks and walkie riders. Verify your equipment model number and tire dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: How does polyurethane compare to rubber for drive tire durability?
A: Polyurethane drive tires like the BJ 502280 typically outlast standard rubber tires in high-traffic environments. Polyurethane resists oil, grease, and chemical spills better than rubber and maintains grip on wet floors. However, polyurethane can be harder on floors than rubber. Choose based on your facility conditions and maintenance frequency.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the BJ 502280 tire?
A: Lifespan depends on load capacity, floor conditions, and usage hours. In typical warehouse use, a 90-92A polyurethane drive tire lasts 12 to 24 months before replacement is needed. Heavy use or rough floors may shorten this period. Monitor for flat spots, cracking, or reduced traction as replacement indicators.
Q: Can the BJ 502280 be used in cold storage environments?
A: Standard polyurethane at 90-92A durometer is not optimized for cold storage below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In freezer applications, consider the BJ 502280-EZ variant, which uses a high-traction polyurethane compound designed for cold storage and wet floor conditions.
Q: Is there an equivalent or cross-reference part number for the BJ 502280?
A: The BJ 502280-XG is a variant designation of the same tire with similar specifications. Request a parts compatibility matrix from us if you need exact cross-references to specific OEM part numbers for your equipment model.
