Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

Q: Is the BR 9988-051 an OEM equivalent or aftermarket part?
A: The BR 9988-051 is an OEM part number. It is the original manufacturer part for Barrett equipment, not an aftermarket replacement.

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 shorten lifespan. Inspect regularly for flat spots, cracking, or excessive wear and replace when tread depth is noticeably reduced.

Q: Can I use BR 9988-051 wheels on wet or slippery floors?
A: The 95A polyurethane compound on the BR 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 such as our High Traction EZ polyurethane options designed specifically for wet and cold environments.

Q: What is the difference between BR 9988-051 and BR 9988-051-A?
A: Both parts are 95A Shore A polyurethane, but BR 9988-051-A is labeled as an OEM-equivalent assembly, typically featuring a high-strength steel core for added durability. Verify your equipment model to determine which fitment is correct.
