Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the advantages of a steel load wheel assembly like the BJ 505184?
A: Steel load wheels offer maximum durability and longer lifespan on rough, unfinished, or outdoor floors. Steel resists sharp objects, gouges, and abrasion better than polyurethane. Trade-offs include increased noise, greater impact on floors, and heavier weight compared to polyurethane wheels.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the BJ 505184 steel load wheel?
A: The BJ 505184 fits multiple electric lift truck models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other manufacturers. Compatibility depends on your equipment model, serial number range, wheel stem size, and mounting style. Confirm the wheel diameter and stem specifications match your equipment before ordering.
Q: Can the BJ 505184 steel wheel be substituted for a polyurethane load wheel?
A: Steel and polyurethane wheels have different diameters, weights, and load ratings. Substitution may not be possible without affecting equipment balance, steering, or mast geometry. Verify that the BJ 505184 specifications exactly match your equipment requirements. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your current wheel assembly.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the BJ 505184 steel load wheel?
A: Steel load wheels typically last 2 to 5 years or longer depending on floor surface, usage frequency, and load weight. Steel wheels are harder than polyurethane and wear slower, but flat spotting and surface cracks may develop on smooth concrete floors. Replace the wheel when visible damage appears or wheel rotation becomes uneven or binding.
Q: Is the BJ 505184 suitable for smooth polished concrete floors?
A: Steel wheels create high noise levels and may cause traction issues on smooth or polished concrete due to the hard surface contact. If your facility uses polished floors, polyurethane load wheels provide better traction and noise control. Steel wheels work better on rough, unfinished, or outdoor concrete surfaces.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the BJ 505184 steel load wheel?
A: The BJ 505184 steel load wheel may have equivalent part numbers from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, or BT. Cross-references depend on equipment brand and model. Contact us with your OEM part number or equipment details for fitment confirmation.
