Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the 1305179-A wheel assembly?
A: These dimensions are designed for manual pallet jack steering applications.
Q: What materials are used in the 1305179-A wheel?
A: The 1305179-A features a polyurethane tread bonded to a nylon hub. The polyurethane is rated approximately Shore A 93-97 for hardness and provides wear and impact resistance. The nylon hub offers lightweight strength.
Q: What equipment is the 1305179-A compatible with?
A: The 1305179-A is designed for manual pallet jack steering. Verify your equipment bore size and steering wheel diameter before ordering.
Q: Is the 1305179-A suitable for wet floor or cold storage environments?
A: The polyurethane compound used in the 1305179-A provides good traction and wear resistance in general material handling applications. For specialized environments such as wet floors or cold storage, confirm suitability based on your specific operating conditions.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 1305179-A wheel?
A: Polyurethane wheels wear based on load, frequency of use, and floor surface. The 1305179-A will eventually require replacement. Replace when tread becomes thin, the wheel develops flat spots or cracks, or steering operation becomes impaired.
Q: How should the 1305179-A be stored when not in use?
A: Store wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing near heat sources or where the wheel may be exposed to chemicals or oils that could degrade the polyurethane material.
Q: How do I know when to replace the 1305179-A wheel?
A: Inspect the wheel regularly for signs of wear. Replace when tread thickness noticeably decreases, flat spots develop, cracks appear, or when steering becomes rough or difficult. Preventive replacement helps maintain safe equipment operation.
