Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between BR 27845-40 and BR 27845-40-A?
A: The BR 27845-40-A is an assembly unit that includes the wheel, hub, bearings, and axle components pre-mounted. The BR 27845-40 is the wheel only. The assembly version reduces installation complexity and ensures proper bearing specification.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the BR 27845-40-A load wheel assembly?
A: This assembly fits Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar electric pallet jack and walkie models. Confirm your truck model and serial number range to verify compatibility before ordering.
Q: What bearings are included in the BR 27845-40-A assembly?
A: The assembly includes tapered roller bearings or deep-groove ball bearings sized to match the axle diameter and load rating. Bearing type varies by equipment model. Verify bearing specifications for your specific truck.
Q: How does the BR 27845-40-A assembly improve performance over separate components?
A: Pre-assembled units ensure proper bearing preload, axle alignment, and wheel runout. This reduces play and vibration. Misaligned or incorrectly installed separate components can cause accelerated wear and steering issues.
Q: What is the tire compound on the BR 27845-40-A load wheel assembly?
A: The wheel uses a polyurethane tire compound rated for indoor warehouse use. Performance is optimized for smooth concrete and epoxy floors. Grip may be reduced on wet or oily surfaces.
Q: Can the BR 27845-40-A assembly be used outdoors?
A: This assembly is designed for indoor warehouse environments. Outdoor use on rough terrain or uneven surfaces can accelerate tire wear. For outdoor or rough-surface applications, consult your equipment manufacturer for appropriate wheel assemblies.
Q: What is the expected service life of the BR 27845-40-A assembly?
A: Service life depends on warehouse conditions, load capacity, floor surface, and operating hours. Regular inspection of tire wear and bearing condition is recommended. Replace when tire wear reaches indicator depth or bearing noise/play increases.
