Bearing Assembly - Single Shield

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BR-855 bearing assembly used for?
A: The BR-855 is a single-shield bearing assembly designed for manual pallet jack wheel and load-bearing applications. The single-shield design provides protection on one side while maintaining accessibility.

Q: How does the BR-855 single-shield design differ from double-sealed bearings?
A: The BR-855 features a single shield instead of double seals, making it lighter and reducing friction. This design is suitable for applications where one side requires protection while the other side allows easier access or mounting.

Q: Which manual pallet jack models use the BR-855?
A: The BR-855 fits manual pallet jack wheel assemblies from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other standard material handling equipment. Confirm your equipment specifications match the BR-855 before ordering.

Q: What maintenance do BR-855 bearings require?
A: Maintenance requirements depend on operating conditions. The single-shield design requires inspection for contamination on the exposed side. Consult your equipment manual for specific re-lubrication intervals based on warehouse environment and usage intensity.

Q: Is the BR-855 pre-lubricated at the factory?
A: Yes, the BR-855 is factory-lubricated and ready for use. The single shield retains lubricant on the protected side, though the exposed side may require periodic inspection in high-contamination environments.
