Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is the 27626-01 designed for?
A: The 27626-01 is a load wheel assembly designed for BT Prime Mover RMX 50 and RMX 65 electric pallet trucks. It is a direct replacement for legacy part numbers PR27626-01-A and PM27626-01-A.
Q: What are the wheel dimensions and material specifications?
A: The 27626-01 features a 3-inch outside diameter and 3-5/8-inch width. The wheel is made of polyurethane with a 95A Shore hardness rating and includes a solid steel core. It is equipped with four sealed deep-groove ball bearings for smooth operation.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the 27626-01?
A: The 27626-01 is directly equivalent to and replaces PR27626-01-A and PM27626-01-A. If your documentation references those legacy part numbers, the 27626-01 is the current direct replacement part for BT RMX 50 and RMX 65 pallet trucks.
Q: Why is polyurethane used for the load wheel tread?
A: Polyurethane provides excellent grip, wear resistance, and floor protection. The 95A durometer rating balances durability with flexibility to absorb shock and provide consistent traction. The solid steel core delivers strength and load-bearing support for reliable performance in warehouse and industrial environments.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 27626-01?
A: Typical service life is 2 to 5 years of reliable operation in normal warehouse use, depending on usage intensity, floor surface, and load weight. Heavy-use or harsh-surface environments may require earlier replacement. Monitor for uneven wear, flat spots, or bearing noise as indicators that replacement is needed.
Q: How should the load wheel be maintained or inspected?
A: Periodically inspect wheels for uneven tread wear, flat spots, cracks, or damage. Check that bearings spin freely without grinding or noise. Clean wheels regularly of debris and buildup. Ensure wheels are properly seated and secured to the axle. Replace if tread is worn significantly or if bearing damage is detected.
