Bearing Assembly - Single Shield

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does single shield mean on BR-1268?
A: Single shield refers to a protective metal or plastic cover installed on one side of the bearing only. This design is typical for manual pallet jack load wheel applications where space is limited. The shield protects the bearing from debris and dirt while allowing easier installation and removal from the wheel hub.

Q: Which manual pallet trucks is BR-1268 compatible with?
A: BR-1268 is an assembly for manual pallet jack load wheels and fits OEM trucks from Crown, Yale, Hyster, Raymond, Clark, and Mitsubishi. Standard hub bore diameters of 50mm or 55mm are typical. Confirm your truck model and wheel hub size before ordering to verify correct fitment.

Q: What is the weight capacity for manual trucks using BR-1268?
A: BR-1268 is designed for manual pallet trucks rated up to 5,500 lbs. The bearing assembly is manufactured to handle the radial loads from payload weight during lifting and transport. Do not apply BR-1268 to equipment exceeding this capacity, as bearing failure and equipment damage may result.

Q: How often does BR-1268 need maintenance?
A: BR-1268 arrives pre-lubricated and sealed from the factory. It requires no routine maintenance during normal warehouse operation. Periodically inspect for noise, grinding sounds, or resistance during wheel rotation. If these symptoms appear, the bearing should be replaced. Do not attempt to add grease or oil.
