Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key specifications of the LJ 474/487-1-A-HD steering wheel?
A: The LJ 474/487-1-A-HD is a steering wheel with ultra-polyurethane tread mounted on a precision-machined aluminum hub.
Q: Which Lo-Jo models does the LJ 474/487-1-A-HD steering wheel fit?
A: The LJ 474/487-1-A-HD is compatible with Lo-Jo 5000 series manual pallet jacks. Check your equipment documentation to verify your specific model number before ordering.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the LJ 474/487-1-A-HD?
A: The LJ 474/487-1-A-HD is directly equivalent to part number 474/487-1-A-HD and is also cross-referenced as Lo-Jo 474/487-1-A-HD. It supersedes the earlier LJ 474/487-1-A-ST designation.
Q: Why is ultra-polyurethane tread preferred for this steering wheel?
A: Ultra-polyurethane tread delivers non-marking floor performance while providing low rolling resistance. This combination reduces operator fatigue and protects facility floors in industrial environments.
Q: What is the significance of the 1.00 inch bearing bore diameter?
A: The bearing bore is a critical dimension that must match your equipment hub axle specification. Verify this dimension matches your pallet jack documentation before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Q: Is the LJ 474/487-1-A-HD suitable for high-load applications?
A: Yes. The precision-machined aluminum hub combined with ultra-polyurethane tread is engineered for high-load industrial applications. The service factor of 1.15 at continuous duty at rated load demonstrates durability in demanding environments.
Q: How does the aluminum hub benefit this steering wheel assembly?
A: The precision-machined aluminum hub provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and light weight compared to alternatives. This design reduces operator fatigue while maintaining structural integrity in high-load manual pallet jack applications.
Q: What maintenance is recommended for the LJ 474/487-1-A-HD steering wheel?
A: Periodically inspect the wheel tread for wear and the bearing bore for debris. Keep the bearing surfaces clean and lubricated according to your equipment manufacturer's specifications. Replace the wheel when tread wear exceeds safe limits or if damage is visible.
