Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key specifications of the BT 55002-A load roller?
A: The BT 55002-A has a nominal diameter of 2.9 inches, is machined from SAE 1045 carbon steel, carries a rated load of 5,500 lbs, and features a 20 mm axle bore for standard BT fork tip mounting. The surface finish is machined plain steel (unfinished).
Q: Which BT manual pallet jacks use the BT 55002-A roller?
A: The BT 55002-A is compatible with BT L2000 and L2300 series manual pallet jacks. It installs at standard fork tip mounting locations. Verify your equipment serial range to confirm fitment.
Q: What is the difference between the BT 55001-A and BT 55002-A?
A: The primary difference is the finish. The BT 55001-A features a zinc-plated corrosion-resistant finish for wet or outdoor storage environments. The BT 55002-A is machined plain steel without plating, suitable for indoor use. Both have identical dimensions and load ratings.
Q: What is the hardness and durability of the BT 55002-A steel?
A: The BT 55002-A is manufactured from SAE 1045 carbon steel with an industry-average Brinell hardness of 180 for solid pallet jack rollers. This provides adequate wear resistance and load capacity for manual material handling equipment.
Q: Does the plain steel finish affect the lifespan of the BT 55002-A?
A: Yes. Plain machined steel is susceptible to rust and corrosion if exposed to moisture or humid conditions. The BT 55002-A is best used in dry, climate-controlled indoor facilities. For wet or cold storage, use the zinc-plated BT 55001-A instead.
