Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between BT 27808-00 and BT 27808-00-SG?
A: The primary difference is that BT 27808-00-SG includes integrated string guards, which prevent rope, cable, or webbing from becoming entangled in the rotating wheel. The underlying wheel assembly and bearing specifications remain the same.
Q: What are string guards and why would I need them?
A: String guards are protective shields that surround the wheel perimeter. They prevent loose straps, ropes, or cables from wrapping around the rotating caster wheel, which could cause damage to the wheel, binding, or loss of steering control.
Q: Are the cross-reference part numbers the same for BT 27808-00-SG?
A: The BT 27808-00-SG shares cross-references BT 27808-00, BT2780800, and 2780800. However, always verify that the receiving equipment is compatible with the string guard configuration before ordering.
Q: Can I use the BT 27808-00-SG on BT equipment other than the HX 80 model?
A: The BT 27808-00-SG is specified for BT Prime Mover HX 80 End Rider pallet trucks. Do not assume compatibility with other models without confirming mounting dimensions and caster assembly specifications.
