Q: How durable is 95A Shore hardness polyurethane for pallet truck service?
A: The 95A durometer provides excellent balance between load capacity and tread life for standard-duty warehouse applications. Tread longevity depends on usage intensity, floor conditions, and total load weight.
Q: What maintenance is required for the sealed bearing system?
A: Sealed bearings require no periodic lubrication. Inspect wheels regularly for debris or visible damage. Clean with mild soap and water as needed. Avoid pressure washing or submerging the bearing assembly. Replace when tread wear becomes excessive or structural damage occurs.
Q: How should these wheels be stored when not in use?
A: Store wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep away from oils, solvents, and reactive chemicals that may degrade polyurethane. Store upright or on a flat surface to prevent warping.
