Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the KI CB-82 and what does it fit?
A: The KI CB-82 is a load roller axle with zerk fitting (grease nipple) for King CB series manual pallet jacks. It is designed for assembly into the load roller system and includes the grease fitting for maintenance access.
Q: Is the KI CB-82 sold as a complete wheel assembly or as a component?
A: The KI CB-82 is an axle component, not a complete wheel assembly. It includes the shaft with integrated zerk fitting but does not include the polyurethane tread or bearings. Verify that this component is compatible with your current wheel assembly before ordering.
Q: What is the purpose of the zerk fitting on the KI CB-82?
A: The zerk fitting (also called a grease nipple) allows you to lubricate the roller bearings without disassembling the wheel. This extends bearing life and maintains smooth operation. Regular greasing through the zerk reduces friction and wear.
Q: Can I replace just the axle on my existing load roller without replacing the wheels?
A: In some cases, yes, but only if the damaged component is the axle shaft itself and the polyurethane tread and bearings are still serviceable. Verify the axle diameter and length match your current assembly. If bearings are worn or the tread is damaged, replacing the entire load roller assembly is more cost-effective.
Q: How often should the KI CB-82 zerk fitting be greased?
A: Grease intervals depend on pallet jack usage frequency and operating environment. Heavy daily use may require monthly greasing, while light use may need greasing every few months. Monitor bearing noise or resistance as an indicator that lubrication is needed.
