BR 9988-051

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What material is the 9988-051 load wheel made from?
A: The 9988-051 is a 95A Shore A durometer polyurethane load wheel. The 95A hardness rating provides solid durability and load capacity while delivering adequate traction on standard warehouse floors.

Q: What Barrett equipment models does the 9988-051 fit?
A: The 9988-051 is designed for Barrett electric lift truck and pallet jack models. Cross-reference your equipment's part number to verify fitment before ordering. Common cross-references include BR9988-051, BR9988051, and 9988051.

Q: Is this a factory-spec direct replacement part?
A: Yes, the 9988-051 is a direct replacement load wheel meeting factory specifications for Barrett electric pallet jacks. It is an original equipment compatible part manufactured to the same standards as the original.

Q: How long does a 95A polyurethane load wheel typically last in warehouse service?
A: Lifespan depends on usage intensity, floor conditions, and load weight. A 95A durometer polyurethane wheel typically lasts 12 to 24 months in moderate warehouse service. Rough or wet floors can shorten lifespan. Inspect regularly for flat spots, cracking, or excessive wear and replace when tread depth is noticeably reduced.

Q: Can I use 9988-051 wheels on wet or slippery floors?
A: The 95A polyurethane compound on the 9988-051 is designed for standard warehouse floors. On wet, slippery, or cold storage surfaces, traction may be reduced. For those conditions, consider alternatives with higher-traction compounds designed specifically for wet and cold environments.

Q: How should I store replacement load wheels?
A: Store load wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them protected from UV exposure and ozone, which can degrade polyurethane. Store in an upright position if possible to prevent flat spots from developing during storage.
