Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HL F1511B-BLANK load wheel and what is 70d durometer?
A: The HL F1511B-BLANK is a load wheel wheel blank with 70d durometer polyurethane. Durometer measures hardness on a standardized scale; 70d is a mid-range hardness suitable for standard warehouse floor surfaces and general-purpose material handling without floor damage.
Q: What is the difference between a load wheel blank and an assembled load roller?
A: A load wheel blank is the core wheel component without a mounted hub or bearing. It is used in custom assembly or as a replacement tread element. An assembled load roller includes the blank tread, steel hub, bearing, and mounting hardware ready for installation on a pallet jack frame.
Q: What material properties does 70d polyurethane provide?
A: A 70d durometer polyurethane wheel blank provides moderate hardness with good load-bearing capacity and reasonable grip on concrete and sealed floors. It resists wear better than softer compounds and does not leave marks. This durometer is standard for indoor material handling on normal warehouse floors.
Q: How should the HL F1511B-BLANK be stored and maintained before use?
A: Store the wheel blank in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat, and solvents, which degrade polyurethane over time. Keep in original packaging until ready for assembly. Inspect for cracks, discoloration, or flat spots before use. Properly stored blanks maintain usability for several years.
