Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment types does the BR 255 load wheel fit?
A: The BR 255 is a load wheel designed for electric lift trucks and pallet handling equipment. Verify the mounting hole diameter and axle shaft specifications match your equipment before ordering, as different manufacturers use varying mount interfaces. Common OEM compatibility includes Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric models, but always confirm the mounting pattern against your unit.
Q: What material is the BR 255 load wheel made from?
A: The BR 255 is a polyurethane load wheel assembly mounted on a steel core. Polyurethane construction provides wear resistance and load-bearing capacity for warehouse floor environments. The specific durometer rating determines grip and load handling characteristics.
Q: How long does a BR 255 load wheel typically last in service?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on usage intensity, floor conditions, and load weight. Polyurethane wheels like the BR 255 typically see 12-24 months of service before edge wear becomes visible. Replace when the wheel loses round shape or develops flat spots that affect steering.
Q: Can the BR 255 be used on wet or oily warehouse floors?
A: Standard polyurethane wheels like the BR 255 work on most dry warehouse floors. For consistent wet floor operation or cold storage environments, consider wheels with high-traction polyurethane compounds designed specifically for those conditions. Check your equipment manual for approved wheel specifications.
