Poly Load Wheel 95A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the BR 9988-038-HL polyurethane load wheel?
A: The BR 9988-038-HL is a poly load wheel rated at 95A durometer. The 95A rating indicates a softer polyurethane compound compared to 92A wheels, providing increased floor grip and reduced vibration. Verify the diameter, width, and bore specifications match your equipment before ordering.
Q: Is the BR 9988-038-HL compatible with the same equipment as the BR 9988-038?
A: The BR 9988-038-HL has a different polyurethane formulation (95A durometer versus the BR 9988-038 which is Shore D 90). While both may fit similar equipment, the softer compound affects floor contact and load dynamics. Confirm your equipment model and intended application before substituting one for the other.
Q: What is the durometer rating and how does 95A compare to other hardness levels?
A: The BR 9988-038-HL has a 95A Shore A durometer rating, indicating a softer, more compliant polyurethane. Lower durometer numbers (like 92A) are harder; higher numbers (like 95A) are softer. Softer compounds provide better floor grip and vibration damping but may wear faster under heavy load or abrasive conditions.
Q: What advantages does the 95A durometer offer in material handling applications?
A: The 95A polyurethane compound reduces floor vibration and improves traction compared to harder wheels, which can extend load bearing stability. The softer compound grips floor surfaces better and reduces shock transfer, beneficial for equipment operators and product protection.
Q: Will the BR 9988-038-HL perform well on all floor types?
A: The 95A durometer polyurethane provides good traction on standard indoor floors and some outdoor surfaces. For wet floors, cold storage, or highly abrasive surfaces, assess your specific floor conditions. Contact our parts team to determine if alternative compounds are needed for your environment.
