Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the BT 137584 load wheel fit?
A: The BT 137584 is an OEM load wheel for BT electric lift truck applications. Verify your specific model number and fork configuration against BT documentation to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between load wheels and guide wheels on lift trucks?
A: Load wheels support vertical lift load through the hydraulic mast. Guide wheels stabilize fork lateral movement. The BT 137584 is a load wheel designed to carry weight during lift actuation under full load conditions.
Q: When should the BT 137584 load wheel be replaced?
A: Replace the BT 137584 if you observe flat spots, cracks, severe wear on the tread, or if the wheel does not roll smoothly. Worn load wheels reduce lift stability, increase mast drag, and reduce truck operational life.
Q: How do load wheel failures affect lift truck safety?
A: Failed or worn load wheels increase lateral mast wobble, reduce load containment, and compromise vertical stability under heavy load. This increases tipping risk and can cause uneven load positioning, creating safety hazards.
