Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the complete wheel specifications for BA 984842-A?
A: BA 984842-A features a wheel with Durarun 95A polyurethane tread (Shore A 95 hardness) bonded to a pressed steel core, powder coated for corrosion resistance. Bore size is 25 mm with precision tolerances for axle fitment.
Q: What bearing configuration does BA 984842-A include?
A: BA 984842-A is equipped with double-sealed deep groove ball bearings to BS 5205 specifications. The dual seals protect bearings from contamination and moisture, extending service life in warehouse and industrial environments.
Q: Is BA 984842-A a direct replacement for earlier Baker load wheel part numbers?
A: BA 984842-A is the current assembly for selected Baker electric lift truck models. It is a direct replacement and maintenance part for Baker equipment using this bore and diameter specification. No supersession or cross-reference interchange parts are available; this is the standard current part.
Q: What floor conditions is BA 984842-A polyurethane suitable for?
A: Durarun 95A polyurethane on BA 984842-A provides excellent performance on concrete, asphalt, and smooth warehouse flooring. It offers good traction and load capacity for typical indoor and sheltered outdoor electric lift truck operations. For extreme wet conditions, cold storage, or slippery surfaces, confirm suitability with OEM recommendations.
Q: How should BA 984842-A wheels be maintained to extend bearing and tread life?
A: Inspect wheels regularly for tread wear, flat spots, debris embedding, and bearing noise or roughness. Clean wheels and surrounding axle areas to prevent dirt accumulation. The double-sealed bearings require no routine lubrication. Replace wheels when tread wear reaches 50 percent, visible core separation occurs, or bearings show noise and resistance to free rotation.
