TI 38-A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the TI 38-A and what equipment does it fit?
A: The TI 38-A is a nylon steer wheel assembly designed as a direct OEM replacement for Marco Tiger pallet trucks. It is an injection-molded nylon wheel with a ball bearing insert, intended for the rear axle steer wheel location.

Q: What is the material composition of the TI 38-A wheel?
A: The TI 38-A is constructed from injection-molded nylon with a molded plain surface finish and no tread pattern. It includes a ball bearing insert for smooth rotation. This material composition provides good wear resistance and smooth steering characteristics on indoor hard floors.

Q: Is the TI 38-A a direct OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?
A: The TI 38-A is a direct OEM replacement part for Marco Tiger pallet trucks, meaning it is manufactured to OEM specifications and dimensions. No equivalent or cross-reference part numbers are available from other suppliers.

Q: Can the TI 38-A be used for load wheels or only as a steer wheel?
A: The TI 38-A is designed exclusively as a rear axle steer wheel, not as a load-bearing wheel. It is not rated for load wheel applications. Use only in the rear steer wheel position on Marco Tiger pallet trucks.

Q: How long does a nylon steer wheel like the TI 38-A typically last?
A: Nylon steer wheels typically last 3-6 years with normal indoor use on hard floors, depending on usage frequency, operator technique, and floor surface conditions. Nylon wheels are more durable than polyurethane for steering applications because they experience lower load stresses.
