Load Roller Assembly for BT Prime Mover

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BT 12689 load roller assembly made from?
A: The BT 12689 features an ultra-polyurethane tread bonded to a steel hub. This construction combines polyurethane durability with steel core strength for balanced performance in warehouse and distribution center applications.

Q: What floor surfaces is the BT 12689 suitable for?
A: The ultra-poly tread provides strong floor grip and wear resistance on concrete, tile, and polished floors. The polyurethane material offers better traction in moderately wet conditions compared to nylon wheels while maintaining structural integrity under rated loads.

Q: Is the BT 12689 compatible with other pallet jack models?
A: The BT 12689 is designed for BT manual pallet jack frames. Verify that your equipment matches this specification before ordering. If compatibility is uncertain, confirm bore size, tread width, and wheel diameter with your equipment documentation.

Q: How long does the BT 12689 assembly typically last?
A: Service life depends on floor type, load patterns, and maintenance practices. Ultra-poly wheels typically remain serviceable for 1 to 3 years in heavy-duty continuous warehouse operation. Sealed bearings help reduce water infiltration and extend assembly life. Regularly inspect treads for uneven wear or flat spots, which may indicate bearing issues requiring attention.

Q: What maintenance does the BT 12689 require?
A: Inspect the assembly regularly for tread wear, flat spots, or damage. Keep the bearing area clean and dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or chemicals. Replace the assembly when tread wear becomes visible or performance deteriorates.
