Bearing Assembly for Manual Pallet Jack

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the ML B9-SS bearing?
A: The ML B9-SS is a stainless steel bearing engineered for Mighty Lift manual pallet jack wheel assemblies. The stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard hardened steel bearings used in the ML B9.

Q: In what applications should the ML B9-SS be used instead of the ML B9?
A: The ML B9-SS is recommended for wet environments, cold storage facilities, washdown areas, and any warehouse application where moisture exposure or chemical contact is frequent. The stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion that would affect standard steel bearings.

Q: Does the ML B9-SS fit the same pallet jack models as the standard ML B9?
A: The ML B9-SS maintains the same dimensional specifications as the standard ML B9 bearing, making it compatible with Mighty Lift ML55-series pallet jacks. The upgrade is a material substitution that does not affect wheel assembly fitment.

Q: What are the durability advantages of stainless steel?
A: Stainless steel bearings resist rust, pitting, and corrosion caused by moisture, washdowns, and chemical exposure. In corrosive warehouse environments, stainless steel extends bearing lifespan by preventing surface degradation that would cause rough rolling and accelerated wear.

Q: Does the ML B9-SS require different maintenance than the standard ML B9?
A: The ML B9-SS is more resistant to corrosion and requires less frequent inspection in wet or chemical-heavy environments. Standard maintenance practices apply, but the stainless steel construction reduces the risk of rust-related bearing failure in moisture-prone facilities.
