BJ 102-XL

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the XL designation mean on the BJ 102-XL?
A: The XL designation refers to the Poly XL 97A polyurethane compound used on this wheel. XL indicates an extended-life, harder formulation rated at 97A durometer on the Shore A hardness scale, designed for heavy-duty industrial material handling applications.

Q: How does the 97A durometer on the BJ 102-XL compare to standard 95A wheels?
A: The 97A compound is 2 points harder than standard 95A polyurethane. This increased hardness provides greater wear resistance and longer service life in high-traffic environments. Trade-offs include slightly reduced floor grip and a slightly firmer ride compared to softer compounds.

Q: What Big Joe models does the BJ 102-XL fit?
A: The BJ 102-XL is manufactured for Big Joe electric lift trucks. Confirm your equipment model is compatible with this specific part number before ordering, as XL compound specifications may not be interchangeable with all Big Joe pallet jack variants.

Q: When should you choose the BJ 102-XL over a standard BJ 102?
A: Choose the BJ 102-XL when operating in high-volume warehouses, outdoor applications, or environments with rough concrete floors where extended wheel life is critical. The harder 97A compound withstands greater wear, making it cost-effective for heavy-use operations despite higher initial cost.

Q: Are there any cross-reference part numbers for the BJ 102-XL?
A: Based on current data, no cross-reference or superseding part numbers are available for the BJ 102-XL. Use the exact OEM part number BJ 102-XL when ordering this specific Poly XL 97A compound variant.
