BG 906-0078-A-HD

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What materials are used in the BG 906-0078-A-HD steer wheel assembly?
A: The BG 906-0078-A-HD features a red ultra-polyurethane tread material mounted on an aluminum hub. The aluminum hub construction provides weight reduction while the ultra-poly tread offers high traction and durability. Precision ball bearings are integrated into the assembly for smooth rotation.

Q: Which Blue Giant pallet jack models use the BG 906-0078-A-HD wheel assembly?
A: The BG 906-0078-A-HD is compatible with Blue Giant MT-50 manual pallet jacks. Alternate model designations are MT50 and MT 50. This assembly serves as the steer wheel. Verify the red ultra-poly specification matches your equipment requirements.

Q: What are the advantages of the red ultra-poly tread material?
A: Red ultra-polyurethane provides excellent traction on concrete, tile, and smooth warehouse floors. Ultra-poly compounds resist wear, chemicals, and moderate temperature variations. The material maintains flexibility in cold storage environments while resisting hardening and cracking over extended use.

Q: How does the aluminum hub affect performance compared to steel or nylon alternatives?
A: Aluminum hubs reduce overall pallet jack weight, improving maneuverability and reducing operator fatigue. Aluminum dissipates heat better than steel and resists corrosion better than bare steel, extending bearing life. The material is durable enough for standard material handling loads while maintaining wheel balance.

Q: What bearing type is used in the BG 906-0078-A-HD assembly?
A: The assembly uses precision ball bearings that are sealed into the aluminum hub. These bearings are pre-lubricated and designed for low-maintenance operation. The sealed design protects bearings from contaminants common in warehouse environments.
