Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the LJ 474/487-1-A-ST steer wheel assembly?
A: The LJ 474/487-1-A-ST is a steer wheel designed as a direct replacement for Lo-Jo Model 5000 series manual pallet jacks. It features a polyurethane tread mounted on a glass-reinforced nylon hub.
Q: What are the key material specifications?
A: The wheel features high-durability polyurethane tread with 95A durometer nominal hardness for balanced floor grip and abrasion resistance. The hub is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon, providing lightweight, cost-effective durability for standard warehouse applications.
Q: Which Lo-Jo pallet jack models is this wheel compatible with?
A: The LJ 474/487-1-A-ST is designed for Lo-Jo Model 5000 series manual pallet jacks. Verify your specific model number and equipment documentation before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What does 95A durometer mean?
A: Durometer is a measure of polyurethane hardness. 95A durometer provides mid-range hardness that delivers balanced performance for general warehouse use, with good floor grip and abrasion resistance in dry to moderately wet conditions.
Q: What is the difference between nylon and aluminum hubs?
A: Nylon hubs like those on the LJ 474/487-1-A-ST offer lighter weight and lower cost compared to aluminum hubs. Both provide good durability for manual pallet jack applications; aluminum offers higher load capacity for heavy-duty industrial use.
Q: What maintenance does this wheel require?
A: The LJ 474/487-1-A-ST requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect for wear on the polyurethane tread and check the bearing assembly. Clean debris from the wheel area to ensure smooth operation.
Q: How long should this wheel last?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on frequency of use, load conditions, and floor surface. Regular inspection of tread wear and bearing condition is recommended. Replace when tread wear becomes visible or steering performance degrades.
