Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the bearing inner diameter of the PR P-13864-A-HD steer wheel?
A: The PR P-13864-A-HD steer wheel assembly features a 1 inch bearing inner diameter, which is the OEM specification for the steering wheel axle on Prime Mover P50 manual pallet jacks.
Q: Which pallet jack models is the PR P-13864-A-HD compatible with?
A: The PR P-13864-A-HD is engineered as a direct replacement steer wheel assembly for BT Prime Mover P50 manual pallet jacks. The 1 inch bearing ID matches the steering axle specification for this model line. Verify your equipment is a Prime Mover P50 before ordering.
Q: What tread material is used on the PR P-13864-A-HD steer wheel?
A: The PR P-13864-A-HD is equipped with ultra-polyurethane tread, engineered for smooth steering response and extended wear life in manual pallet jack applications. Ultra-polyurethane resists abrasion, provides floor protection, and maintains consistent handling characteristics across varied floor surfaces.
Q: What hub material is specified for the PR P-13864-A-HD?
A: The PR P-13864-A-HD steer wheel assembly features an aluminum hub, which provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant base for the bearing assembly. Aluminum hub construction reduces overall pallet jack weight while maintaining structural integrity under operator steering loads.
Q: What performance characteristics distinguish the PR P-13864-A-HD from standard steer wheels?
A: The PR P-13864-A-HD combines ultra-polyurethane tread with a machined aluminum hub to deliver responsive steering, reduced effort during directional changes, and extended tread life compared to standard polyurethane steer wheels. The 1 inch bearing ID specification ensures precise fit on Prime Mover equipment.
Q: What are symptoms that the PR P-13864-A-HD steer wheel needs replacement?
A: Replace the steer wheel if the tread wears flat or uneven, if steering becomes stiff or jerky, if the wheel pulls strongly to one side, if you hear grinding noise from the wheel assembly, or if the wheel wobbles laterally on the steering axle. These signs indicate bearing wear or tread degradation requiring immediate replacement.
