Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of the DA B28-97 exit roller?
A: The DA B28-97 is an exit roller for Dayton model 4YX97 pallet jacks. It guides the pallet smoothly during insertion and removal, reducing drag and operator effort. This roller supports load distribution and extends bearing life.
Q: Will the DA B28-97 exit roller fit other pallet jack brands?
A: The DA B28-97 is engineered exclusively for Dayton model 4YX97 jacks. Fitment depends on exact mounting dimensions, bore size, and axle length. Do not cross-fit to other brands. Verify your equipment model and serial number before ordering.
Q: What material and construction does the DA B28-97 roller have?
A: Exit rollers are typically constructed with a durable polyurethane or elastomer wheel mounted on a sealed bearing assembly. The polyurethane compound provides grip, wear resistance, and floor protection. Sealed bearings reduce contamination from dust and moisture.
Q: How long does the DA B28-97 exit roller last under normal use?
A: In moderate-duty warehouse applications, exit rollers typically perform for 18 months to 3 years. Heavy-duty or continuous use may reduce lifespan to 12-18 months. Inspect regularly for flat spots, cracks, or wobbling. Worn rollers increase drag and operator fatigue.
Q: What indicates that the DA B28-97 exit roller needs replacement?
A: Replace the roller if you observe flat spots, visible wear, cracks in the polyurethane compound, or resistance during pallet insertion and removal. A failing roller increases friction, makes operation harder, and can accelerate bearing wear. Regular inspection prevents downtime.
Q: Does the DA B28-97 roller perform differently on wet or cold storage floors?
A: Standard polyurethane compound may lose grip on wet or frozen surfaces. In cold storage or wet warehouse environments, consider replacing with a high-traction polyurethane roller to maintain consistent grip and reduce operator effort. Verify compatibility with your Dayton 4YX97 model.
