Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 1.875 dimension mean in the PM 1.875-105-T part number?
A: The 1.875 refers to the wheel diameter in inches. This is a 1.875 inch diameter load wheel assembly. Wheel diameter is critical for fitment, as jacks are designed with specific wheel sizes to maintain proper ground clearance and handling geometry.
Q: What is included in the PM 1.875-105-T load wheel assembly?
A: The PM 1.875-105-T is a complete load wheel assembly with integrated bearing. It includes the wheel, axle stub, and bearing cartridge as a single unit ready for installation. The bearing is a sealed cartridge design integral to the assembly.
Q: Is the bearing serviceable separately on the PM 1.875-105-T?
A: The PM 1.875-105-T bearing is not separately replaceable. It is a sealed cartridge integrated into the wheel assembly. When the bearing fails or wears out, the entire PM 1.875-105-T assembly must be replaced.
Q: What surfaces or floor types can the PM 1.875-105-T wheel handle?
A: The standard polyurethane compound on this wheel works on concrete, smooth warehouse floors, and asphalt. For wet floors or cold storage environments, verify the compound type. A separate load wheel assembly with high-traction polyurethane may be required for those applications.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the PM 1.875-105-T load wheel assembly?
A: Load wheel lifespan depends on usage intensity, load weight, and floor conditions. A wheel typically lasts 2 to 5 years of regular industrial use before the polyurethane compound hardens or wears flat and the bearing develops slop. Monitor wheel wear and rolling resistance as indicators of replacement need.
