Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the KI C128 steer wheel assembly?
A: The KI C128 is a steer wheel assembly designed for King manual pallet jacks. It features an ultra-poly tread for durability and wear resistance, a lightweight anodized aluminum hub that reduces operator fatigue.
Q: What are the key specifications of the KI C128?
A: The wheel has a ultra-poly tread material, and an anodized aluminum hub. The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives while maintaining full load capacity.
Q: Why choose an aluminum hub over steel?
A: The anodized aluminum hub reduces overall wheel weight, improving maneuverability and reducing operator fatigue during extended warehouse operations. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion better than bare steel, and the ultra-poly tread provides quiet, wear-resistant performance without sacrificing durability.
Q: What bearing size does this wheel require?
A: Verify your equipment's bearing model and seal type match before installation.
Q: How long does the ultra-poly tread typically last?
A: Under normal warehouse conditions with regular use, the ultra-poly tread typically provides 2-4 years of service life. Lifespan varies based on floor type, usage intensity, and maintenance. Periodically inspect the tread for wear depth and the aluminum hub for cracks or damage. Replace if steering becomes notchy or the wheel no longer tracks straight.
Q: Can this wheel be used on other pallet jack brands?
A: The 0000-72008 is specifically designed as a direct replacement for King manual pallet jacks. Cross-compatibility with other brands depends on hub bolt pattern, and wheel mounting configuration. Verify compatibility before use on non-King equipment.
Q: How should the wheel be stored and maintained?
A: Store in a dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve the anodized finish. Keep the bearing area clean and free from debris. Periodically wipe the hub to prevent buildup of warehouse dust and oil. The anodized aluminum finish requires no special maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.
