Product Description
The BR 9988-056-XL is an extra-large polyurethane load wheel engineered for high-capacity electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. With a durable 97A durometer compound, this wheel delivers reliable traction, resists deformation under heavy loads, and maintains consistent performance on standard warehouse floors. The XL size accommodates larger equipment frames requiring expanded wheel footprints for stability and load distribution. Direct replacement for compatible Barrett lift truck models and other leading electric material handling brands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the BR 9988-056-XL?
A: The XL designation indicates an extra-large or oversized variant of the standard BR 9988-056 load wheel. The 97A polyurethane compound is identical, but the XL version accommodates larger equipment frames that require a bigger wheel diameter or width for proper stability and load distribution.
Q: Is the BR 9988-056-XL interchangeable with the standard BR 9988-056?
A: No. The XL variant has different dimensions and is designed for specific lift truck models that require the larger size. Using an incorrect wheel size can cause improper load distribution, instability, or equipment damage. Always verify your equipment's original part number before ordering.
Q: What lift truck models are compatible with the BR 9988-056-XL?
A: The BR 9988-056-XL is engineered for selected large-capacity electric lift truck models. Consult your equipment's parts documentation or provide your model and serial number to confirm compatibility with your specific equipment.
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 the standard version. The difference is wheel size, not material hardness or wear resistance.
Q: What is the typical service life of the BR 9988-056-XL?
A: In typical warehouse environments, the 97A durometer BR 9988-056-XL lasts 15 to 30 months. The harder polyurethane compound resists wear and deformation, extending service life compared to softer alternatives. Actual lifespan depends on load intensity, floor conditions, and equipment usage frequency.
Q: Can I use the BR 9988-056-XL on wet or icy floors?
A: The 97A polyurethane is optimized for standard warehouse floors. On wet, cold storage, or icy surfaces, traction may be limited. For those conditions, consult about alternative compounds designed for enhanced grip on wet and cold surfaces.
