Nylon Steer Wheel Assembly for Palletmaster Jacks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the PM 0113-N-A?
A: The PM 0113-N-A is a nylon steer wheel assembly with integrated ball bearings designed for manual pallet jacks. It serves as a direct-fit rear axle wheel assembly and is compatible with Palletmaster and other manual pallet jacks using the PM 01.13-N-A pattern.

Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the PM 0113-N-A?
A: Cross-reference part numbers include PM01.13-A-ST, 01.13-A-ST, Palletmaster 01.13-A-ST, and PS01.13-A-ST. Verify all dimensions and bearing specifications against your equipment documentation before ordering.

Q: What materials are used in the PM 0113-N-A?
A: The PM 0113-N-A uses injection-molded nylon for both hub and tread construction. Integral nylon tread eliminates separate tread bonding, reducing failure points and ensuring consistent part-to-part quality.

Q: What are the advantages of nylon wheels?
A: Injection-molded nylon delivers superior durability, chemical resistance, and corrosion immunity without degradation from cleaning solutions or moisture. The one-piece hub-and-tread design eliminates adhesive failure. Nylon maintains performance in cold storage and resists impact damage from loading dock edges and racking.

Q: What is the expected service life of the PM 0113-N-A?
A: Nylon steer wheels typically provide 3-5 years of service in standard warehouse operations. Extended lifespan is common in cold storage and wet environments where cleaning solutions and moisture exposure would degrade polyurethane or rubber alternatives. Service life depends on daily cycle frequency and load weights.

Q: Does the integrated bearing design require special maintenance?
A: Integrated bearings are pre-assembled and pre-lubricated, minimizing maintenance needs. Perform periodic visual inspection for debris around the bearing area. Avoid extended submersion or high-pressure washing that could force water into bearing seals.
