Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the BS 87504 bearing fit?
A: The BS 87504 is a sealed bearing (2RS designation indicates dual rubber seals) used in manual and electric pallet jacks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and similar brands. Verify your equipment model and part diagram to confirm compatibility.
Q: What protection does the 2RS seal type provide on the BS 87504?
A: The 2RS (rubber seals on both sides) design protects against water, dust, dirt, and debris while retaining factory-installed grease. This configuration is ideal for outdoor, wet, and contaminated operating environments typical of warehouse and material handling applications.
Q: How do I know if the BS 87504 bearing needs replacement?
A: Replace the bearing if wheels or rollers exhibit grinding noise, rough dragging motion, excessive play, or visible seal damage. Leaking grease, rust stains, or pitting on the bearing races also indicate failure. Degraded performance impacts pallet jack handling and safety.
Q: What is the expected service life of the BS 87504 bearing?
A: In normal warehouse pallet jack service with adequate maintenance, sealed ball bearings typically perform for 3 to 6 years before replacement becomes necessary. Heavy-load applications, moisture exposure, or lack of maintenance will shorten service life.
