Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the XL designation mean on the BJ 078257-XL?
A: The XL designation on the BJ 078257-XL indicates an extra-hard polyurethane compound rated at 97A hardness. This higher hardness provides increased durability compared to standard 95A wheels, making it better suited for heavy-duty applications.
Q: What are the dimensions of the BJ 078257-XL wheel?
A: The BJ 078257-XL measures 3 1/4 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches in diameter, matching standard Big Joe electric lift truck wheel specifications.
Q: Is the BJ 078257-XL harder than the standard BJ 078257?
A: Yes. The BJ 078257-XL is rated at 97A hardness, while the standard BJ 078257 is 95A. The 2-point hardness difference results in longer wheel life and better performance in high-wear environments.
Q: Which Big Joe truck models is the BJ 078257-XL compatible with?
A: The BJ 078257-XL is designed for Big Joe electric lift truck models using 3 1/4 by 4 1/2 inch wheels. Verify your truck serial range and model specification against the part number before ordering.
Q: Does the BJ 078257-XL include bearings?
A: The BJ 078257-XL is the wheel component only and does not include pre-installed bearings. Source bearings separately or confirm bearing specifications for your equipment.
Q: When should I choose the BJ 078257-XL over the standard BJ 078257?
A: Choose the BJ 078257-XL (97A) when operating trucks under heavy loads, on rough floors, or in high-duty environments where extended wheel life justifies the premium. For lighter-duty warehouses and standard applications, the 95A BJ 078257 is adequate.
