Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the load capacity and material specification for the BJ 78236-A?
A: The BJ 78236-A is rated for 1000 pounds distributed load and features polyurethane tread bonded to a composite hub. The polyurethane has a 70D hardness rating (ASTM D2240 standard). The wheel diameter is 2.75 inches with deep-groove ball bearings and a fixed axle design for heavy-duty material handling.
Q: Is the BJ 78236-A suitable for cold storage or wet floor applications?
A: The BJ 78236-A uses a standard 70D polyurethane compound rated for typical warehouse and industrial floors. This hardness works well on dry, clean, and moderately textured surfaces. For cold storage or wet floor environments, consult our technical team about alternative wheel compounds with higher traction properties designed for those conditions.
Q: How do deep-groove ball bearings compare to other bearing types in the BJ 78236-A?
A: Deep-groove ball bearings provide smooth rotation with minimal friction and are maintenance-free when properly sealed. They support both radial and axial loads, making them ideal for pallet jack applications. The fixed axle design in the BJ 78236-A keeps the wheel stable during load shifting and turning.
Q: What is the expected service life of the BJ 78236-A polyurethane wheel?
A: Polyurethane wheels with 70D hardness typically last 2-5 years depending on usage intensity, floor conditions, and maintenance practices. Heavy-duty operation in warehouses may shorten lifespan to 2-3 years, while moderate use may extend it to 4-5 years. Replace when tread wear becomes visible or the wheel develops flat spots.
Q: Can the BJ 78236-A wheel be used as a replacement for other Big Joe models?
A: The 2.75 inch diameter and 70D hardness match standard Big Joe load wheel specifications for multiple electric pallet truck models. However, verify bearing type, axle configuration, and mounting dimensions match your equipment before ordering. Cross-reference the OEM part number BJ 78236-A with your equipment documentation.
