Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the ML 12EM07 steer wheel assembly?
A: The ML 12EM07 is a complete steer wheel assembly with a wheel featuring polyurethane tread at 95 Shore A hardness, a machined nylon core, and sealed precision bearing. It is rated for manual pallet jacks and provides reliable steering on warehouse floors.
Q: What does 95 Shore A polyurethane tread mean?
A: Shore A is a hardness scale for elastomers. 95 Shore A polyurethane is a durable, moderately hard compound that resists wear and provides good traction on hard industrial floors. It maintains flexibility for vibration absorption while supporting heavy loads.
Q: What equipment is the ML 12EM07 compatible with?
A: The ML 12EM07 is designed as a direct replacement steer wheel for manual pallet jacks. Verify your equipment specifications and steer wheel mounting dimensions match before ordering, as compatibility varies by manufacturer and model year.
Q: How durable is the polyurethane tread?
A: Tread lifespan depends on frequency of use, floor type, and load levels. The 95 Shore A polyurethane compound is designed for durability on hard industrial floors including concrete. Replace the assembly when you notice flat spots, chunks missing from the tread, reduced steering response, or excessive wobble.
Q: Does the ML 12EM07 have a sealed bearing?
A: Yes, the ML 12EM07 features a sealed precision bearing. The seal protects the bearing from moisture, dust, and contamination, extending bearing life and reducing maintenance requirements in wet or dirty warehouse and dock environments.
Q: Why is a 7-inch wheel size used?
A: The wheel size provides the proper steer wheel for manual pallet jacks. This balances stability and turning radius for standard warehouse floor layouts and equipment configurations. Verify matches your pallet jack specifications before ordering.
Q: How should the ML 12EM07 be maintained?
A: Periodically inspect the wheel tread for wear, flat spots, or damage. Keep the assembly clean and dry when not in use. The sealed bearing requires no regular maintenance; replace the entire assembly when bearing play develops or steering becomes loose or unresponsive.
