Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the PM 0113-A-FB-HD steer wheel assembly?
A: The PM 0113-A-FB-HD steer wheel features a red ultra polyurethane tread on an aluminum hub with a 3/4 inch bearing inside diameter. The flanged ball bearings provide precision steering control for manual pallet jacks across multiple warehouse applications.
Q: What material advantages does an aluminum hub provide over nylon or steel?
A: Aluminum hubs are lighter than steel, reducing overall equipment weight while maintaining strength. Aluminum resists corrosion and does not rust, making it suitable for wet storage areas or facilities where moisture exposure is common. The material provides good heat dissipation during repetitive steering operations.
Q: What is the difference between flanged bearings and standard bearings in a steer wheel?
A: Flanged bearings include an integral flange that prevents lateral wheel movement and improves steering precision. The flange guides the wheel on the axle, reducing side-to-side play and enhancing directional control compared to non-flanged bearing designs.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models use the PM 0113-A-FB-HD?
A: The PM 0113-A-FB-HD fits manual pallet jacks designed for aluminum-hub steer wheel assemblies with 3/4 inch bearing bore. Verify your equipment specifications and current steer wheel dimensions before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Q: How does red ultra polyurethane tread differ in performance from black ultra polyurethane?
A: Red and black ultra polyurethane compounds offer similar durability and floor traction. The color difference is primarily for identification or OEM standard designation. Both provide reliable grip on standard warehouse floors and moderate resistance to wear in high-cycle applications.
Q: What is the expected service life of the PM 0113-A-FB-HD steer wheel?
A: Ultra polyurethane steer wheels typically last 2-4 years in regular warehouse use, depending on load weights, floor conditions, and daily cycle frequency. The aluminum hub and flanged bearing design contributes to extended steering precision during the wheels operational life.
