Product Description
Poly Wheel Assembly with String Guards
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the SG designation mean?
A: SG designates string guards—protective shrouds mounted around the wheel assembly that prevent rope, strapping, and flexible materials from wrapping around the axle, protecting your equipment and operations.
Q: Why choose a wheel with string guards?
A: String guards are essential in high-traffic warehouse environments, outdoor areas, or locations where rope, strapping, or other materials are present. They reduce operational hazards and equipment damage caused by entanglement.
Q: What equipment is this wheel compatible with?
A: This assembly is designed for electric lift trucks and pallet jacks. Verify your specific equipment model is compatible and confirm the wheel diameter accommodates your equipment's suspension before ordering.
Q: Does the string guard require special maintenance?
A: String guards may accumulate dust and debris in guard pockets and should be cleaned periodically. The guards also protect the wheel bearing from direct moisture and contaminant contact, potentially extending bearing life.
Q: Are replacement string guards available separately?
A: Contact your parts supplier with part number L009143-SG to confirm whether guards are replaceable or whether the entire assembly must be replaced if guards become damaged.
