Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the material hardness of the BR 9988-056?
A: The BR 9988-056 is a 97A durometer polyurethane load wheel. The 97A rating indicates a harder compound compared to 95A polyurethane, providing increased resistance to wear and deformation under sustained loads.
Q: When should I use BR 9988-056 instead of BR 9988-051 or BR 9988-055?
A: The BR 9988-056 is specified for Barrett equipment models that require a 97A durometer wheel. The harder compound resists wear better in high-load or continuous-use applications. Check your equipment OEM part number to determine the correct hardness for your model.
Q: Is the BR 9988-056 compatible with my Barrett electric pallet jack?
A: The BR 9988-056 is designed for selected Barrett electric lift truck models. Always cross-reference your equipment OEM part number before ordering. Using an incorrect hardness specification can affect traction and load performance.
Q: How does 97A polyurethane compare to 95A in terms of durability?
A: The 97A compound is harder and more resistant to flat-spotting, chunking, and wear compared to 95A polyurethane. This makes 97A wheels better suited for heavy-load applications or continuous-duty service. Trade-off: 97A may have slightly reduced traction on wet surfaces.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of a BR 9988-056 wheel?
A: In typical warehouse service, the 97A durometer BR 9988-056 often lasts 15 to 30 months, longer than softer 95A wheels due to greater wear resistance. Lifespan depends on floor type, load, and usage intensity. Inspect regularly for damage or excessive wear.
Q: Does BR 9988-056 have a cross-reference part number?
A: The BR 9988-056 is the OEM part number for selected Barrett electric lift trucks. Provide your equipment model or serial number if you need to verify cross-references or compatibility with aftermarket alternatives.
