Q: What are the tire dimensions and load capacity for the 143164?
A: The 143164 tire and hub assembly is rated for specific tire width, diameter, and maximum load capacity. Exact dimensions and load rating are specified on the assembly label and in BT technical documentation. Verify these specifications match your lift truck capacity and duty cycle before ordering.
Q: What tire compound is used on the 143164 and what are its properties?
A: The 143164 features a polyurethane or elastomer tire compound engineered for material handling use. The compound provides traction on standard floor surfaces and resists wear from repeated warehouse operations.

A: Under typical warehouse use, the 143164 drive tire and hub assembly provides reliable service for one to three years depending on daily load cycles, driving surfaces, and maintenance. Replacement is recommended when the tire shows tread wear, develops flat spots, or the hub bearing becomes loose or degraded.
Q: How do I know if the 143164 tire needs replacement?
A: Signs of replacement need include reduced traction or slipping on smooth surfaces, visible tread wear or flattening, cracks or chunks missing from the tire surface, hub wobbling or looseness, or unusual noise during truck operation. Any of these conditions indicates the assembly should be replaced to maintain safe truck operation.
Q: How should the 143164 drive tire assembly be stored?
A: Store the 143164 in a cool, dry location protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the assembly upright or supported to prevent deformation. Store away from oils, solvents, and other chemicals that may degrade the tire compound. Before installation, inspect for any cracks, damage, or bearing roughness.
