Frequently Asked Questions

A: The 2079240 is a caster assembly designed for Hyster walkie pallet jacks and lift equipment. Verify your model number against equipment documentation to confirm fitment before ordering.
Q: What is the toe guard on this caster assembly for?
A: The toe guard protects the caster wheel and assembly from floor debris and impact damage during normal pallet jack operation. It reduces wear on the wheel and extends assembly lifespan.
Q: Can the 2079240 caster assembly be used as a replacement on other brands?

A: Replace the caster assembly if the wheel does not roll smoothly, the assembly wobbles under load, the toe guard is bent or damaged, or the bearing shows excessive play or grinding noise during operation.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this caster assembly?
A: Caster assembly lifespan depends on frequency of use, floor conditions, and load weight. In typical warehouse conditions, expect 2 to 4 years of service before wear requires replacement.
