Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the BR 9988-056-XL?
A: The XL designation typically indicates an extra-large or oversized variant of the standard BR 9988-056 load wheel. The 97A polyurethane compound is the same, but the XL version is sized for specific Barrett pallet jack models that require a larger wheel diameter or width.
Q: Is BR 9988-056-XL interchangeable with BR 9988-056?
A: No. The XL variant has different dimensions and is designed for specific Barrett equipment models. Using an incorrect size wheel can cause improper load distribution, instability, or damage. Always verify the exact OEM part number on your equipment before ordering.
Q: What Barrett models require the BR 9988-056-XL?
A: The BR 9988-056-XL is engineered for selected larger-capacity Barrett electric lift truck models. Check your equipment OEM documentation or provide your model and serial number to confirm fitment.
Q: Does the XL wheel have the same 97A durometer as the standard BR 9988-056?
A: Yes, the BR 9988-056-XL uses the same 97A durometer polyurethane compound as BR 9988-056. The difference is the wheel size, not the material hardness.
Q: What is the lifespan of the BR 9988-056-XL in warehouse service?
A: In typical warehouse environments, the 97A durometer BR 9988-056-XL lasts 15 to 30 months. The harder compound resists wear and deformation, extending service life compared to softer alternatives. Actual lifespan depends on load intensity, floor conditions, and equipment utilization.
Q: Can I use BR 9988-056-XL wheels on wet or slippery floors?
A: The 97A polyurethane on the BR 9988-056-XL is optimized for standard warehouse floors. On wet, cold storage, or icy surfaces, traction may be limited. For those conditions, inquire about High Traction EZ polyurethane compounds designed for enhanced grip on wet and cold floors.
