Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the A28842-842?
A: Verify exact dimensions match your equipment axle and frame specifications before ordering.
Q: What equipment does this polyurethane wheel fit?
A: This wheel is compatible with electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Barrett and similar manufacturers using 5 x 3.5 load wheel specifications. Cross-check your equipment frame width and axle diameter to confirm fitment.
Q: What is the advantage of polyurethane wheels over rubber?
A: Polyurethane wheels offer superior durability, longer service life, and better load capacity than rubber wheels. They resist wear, maintain hardness in cold storage, and handle wet floors better than standard rubber.
Q: What is the load rating for this wheel?
A: Load capacity depends on the equipment frame design and how many wheels share the load. Refer to your pallet jack or lift truck manufacturer specifications for maximum load per wheel and total equipment capacity.
Q: How long do polyurethane wheels typically last?
A: Polyurethane wheel lifespan ranges from 2 to 5 years depending on usage intensity, floor conditions, and maintenance. Regular cleaning and inspection extend wheel life. Replace when tread is visibly worn or wheel diameter reduces significantly.
Q: Are there equivalent wheels available?
A: Cross-reference wheels must match exact dimensions and bearing specifications. Common manufacturers for 5 x 3.5 polyurethane wheels include Superior and other aftermarket suppliers. Verify bore diameter and load rating before substituting.
Q: How should I store polyurethane wheels when not in use?
A: Store polyurethane wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Keep away from solvents and oils. Store upright or stacked horizontally to prevent deformation.
Q: What maintenance is required for polyurethane wheels?
A: Clean wheels regularly with mild soap and water to remove debris and chemical residue. Inspect periodically for wear, cracks, and flat spots. Check bearing condition and re-grease as needed per equipment manufacturer recommendations.
