ML 12EM07

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the ML 12EM07 steer wheel assembly?
A: The ML 12EM07 is a complete steer wheel assembly with a 7-inch diameter wheel, polyurethane tread at 95 Shore A hardness, nylon core, and sealed precision bearing. It is rated for pallet truck capacity of 5000 lbs and designed for manual pallet jack applications.

Q: What does 95 Shore A polyurethane tread mean for the ML 12EM07?
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 on manual pallet jacks.

Q: Which pallet jack models use the ML 12EM07 steer wheel assembly?
A: The ML 12EM07 is designed for manual pallet jacks with a 5000 lbs rated capacity from Mighty Lift. It is an OEM part for specific equipment models. Verify your equipment specifications and steer wheel mounting dimensions match before ordering.

Q: How long does the ML 12EM07 polyurethane tread last?
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: Is the ML 12EM07 bearing sealed?
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 in wet or dirty warehouse and dock environments.

Q: What is the 7-inch diameter wheel good for?
A: The 7-inch diameter provides the proper steer wheel size for manual pallet jacks. Smaller wheels offer better maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 7-inch size balances stability and turning radius for standard warehouse floor layouts. Verify this diameter matches your equipment before ordering.
