Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BA 994070 idler caster and what equipment does it fit?
A: The BA 994070 is an OEM idler caster with 95A Shore durometer polyurethane compound. It is the direct replacement idler wheel for Baker electric lift trucks and pallet jacks.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for BA 994070?
A: The BA 994070 cross-references to BK994070 and 994070. The BA 994070-XL is an equivalent part for select models, though it uses a harder 97A Shore durometer material.
Q: What material is the BA 994070 tread made from and why?
A: The BA 994070 uses a 95A Shore durometer polyurethane compound. This hardness provides high wear resistance and durability for continuous industrial use while maintaining adequate grip on concrete and smooth floors.
Q: How does the BA 994070 compare to the BA 994070-XL?
A: The BA 994070 has a 95A Shore durometer tread, while the BA 994070-XL uses a harder Poly XL material at 97A Shore durometer. Choose the XL for higher-speed or high-temperature applications requiring extra durability.
Q: When should I replace the BA 994070 idler caster?
A: Replace the BA 994070 when you observe flat spots, chunks missing from the tread, reduced grip, or steering difficulty. Even wear across the tread surface indicates normal operation; uneven wear suggests alignment issues.
