Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the BT 161804 steer wheel made from and why?
A: The BT 161804 is constructed from high-density nylon. This material offers low rolling resistance for smooth operation, excellent chemical resistance against common warehouse solvents and cleaning agents, and stable performance in temperature-controlled environments. Nylon wheels reduce steering effort and floor damage.
Q: Which BT models are compatible with the BT 161804 steer wheel?
A: The BT 161804 is designed for BT Prime Mover manual pallet jacks. It is engineered for direct rear axle mounting. Verify your equipment model designation matches BT Prime Mover specifications and check axle dimensions for proper fit before ordering.
Q: What is the load capacity rating for the BT 161804?
A: The BT 161804 is rated to match the maximum load rating of the pallet jack it is installed on. Verify the specific load capacity by consulting your equipment manufacturer specifications, as capacity depends on the complete jack assembly and design. Do not exceed the jack manufacturers rated capacity.
Q: How does nylon compare to rubber and polyurethane for steer wheels in warehouse use?
A: High-density nylon provides superior chemical resistance and lower rolling resistance than rubber, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Nylon wheels resist oils, solvents, and moisture better than natural rubber. However, nylon is harder and may provide less grip on very smooth floors compared to polyurethane. Choose based on your specific floor conditions.
Q: How long does a nylon steer wheel like the BT 161804 typically last?
A: High-density nylon wheels generally last 3-5 years in typical warehouse service. Nylon resists chemical degradation, extending life in environments with frequent cleaning agents or exposure to solvents. Replace if the wheel becomes hard and brittle, develops flat spots, or shows visible cracking.
