Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 72299 load wheel used for?
A: The BJ 72299 is a load wheel designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. It supports the carriage assembly and load contact point, bearing the weight of lifted pallets and materials during operation.
Q: Which lift truck models are compatible with the BJ 72299 load wheel?
A: The BJ 72299 is an OEM load wheel for Big Joe electric lift trucks. It is compatible with specific Big Joe models. Verify your truck model number and the current wheel dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fitment and load capacity match.
Q: What materials are load wheels typically made from?
A: Load wheels for material handling equipment are generally made from polyurethane, nylon, or reinforced polymer compounds. These materials provide wear resistance, load capacity, and durability in warehouse and industrial environments. The BJ 72299 is engineered for standard indoor material handling applications.
Q: How long do load wheels typically last before replacement?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on usage frequency, load weight, and floor conditions. In typical warehouse operations, load wheels may last 12 to 24 months. Heavy use, rough floors, or extended operation in cold storage can reduce lifespan. Inspect wheels regularly for flat spots, cracks, or uneven wear.
Q: What is the difference between the BJ 72299 load wheel and the BJ 72299-A load wheel assembly?
A: The BJ 72299 is the wheel component only. The BJ 72299-A is a complete load wheel assembly that includes the wheel and any required bearings, axles, or mounting hardware. Choose the assembly if you need the complete unit; choose the wheel alone if you are replacing only the wheel component.
