Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment types is BJ 78229 designed for?
A: BJ 78229 is a load wheel component for Big Joe electric material handling equipment. It may be compatible with multiple Big Joe models and series. Verify your equipment model and wheel diameter specifications before ordering.
Q: What is the polyurethane composition of BJ 78229?
A: BJ 78229 is manufactured from polyurethane formulated for industrial material handling. The compound provides durability, floor grip, and resistance to wear. The specific durometer rating depends on the application and floor conditions where it will operate.
Q: What are the wheel dimensions and load rating for BJ 78229?
A: Wheel diameter, width, and load capacity specifications are part number specific. Measure your current load wheel or check your equipment manual to confirm the correct dimensions. Ordering the wrong size will cause fitment and safety issues.
Q: How does BJ 78229 perform on wet or slippery floors?
A: Standard polyurethane load wheels provide adequate traction on wet floors. In cold storage environments below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, polyurethane traction degrades. If your facility operates in wet or cold conditions, verify the wheel compound is rated for those conditions.
Q: Is there an assembly version of BJ 78229 available?
A: BJ 78229-A is the complete assembly version that includes the wheel, bearings, and hardware. The assembly option simplifies maintenance planning since all components come pre-matched and pre-installed.
Q: What is the expected service life of BJ 78229?
A: Polyurethane load wheel lifespan ranges from 1 to 3 years depending on floor type, usage frequency, and load weights. Heavy-duty warehouses or outdoor use shortens lifespan. Monitor for visible tread wear and replace when flatness or edge deterioration appears.
