Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BJ 72556 load wheel, and what is its application?
A: The BJ 72556 is a load wheel designed for Big Joe electric lift trucks. It functions as the main contact point between the carriage and load, bearing the weight of lifted pallets and materials. It is the wheel component only, without integrated bearings or hardware.
Q: How does the BJ 72556 compare to the BJ 72299 load wheel?
A: Both the BJ 72556 and BJ 72299 are Big Joe OEM load wheels, but they are designed for different truck models or carriage designs. The BJ 72556 may have different dimensions, material composition, or load rating. Verify your truck model and carriage assembly to order the correct wheel for your equipment.
Q: What material is the BJ 72556 wheel made from?
A: The BJ 72556 is engineered from polyurethane, nylon, or similar industrial polymers that provide wear resistance, load-carrying capacity, and durability in warehouse and material handling environments. The exact material depends on the intended floor type and duty cycle.
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the BJ 72556 load wheel?
A: Specific dimensions such as outer diameter, bore size, width, and load rating are critical for fitment. Verify the exact specifications for the BJ 72556 against your truck manual or current wheel to ensure proper fitment, rolling motion, and load support before ordering.
Q: What signs indicate that the BJ 72556 wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the wheel if you observe flat spots, severe cracks, uneven wear patterns, chunks missing from the rim, or if the wheel no longer rolls smoothly under load. Worn wheels reduce truck stability and can damage the carriage assembly or present safety risks during operation.
