Multiton Steer Wheel Assembly Replacement for Tm/M/J/S

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the -P-A designation mean for the 0000-72008?
A: The -P-A suffix indicates polyurethane tread on a steel (not nylon) core hub. This version is engineered for high-durability, chemical-resistant operation in material handling environments where a steel core provides superior load-bearing capacity and vibration resistance compared to nylon alternatives.

Q: What is the core material?
A: The assembly uses a cast iron core with a machined steel finish. The polyurethane tread is overmolded directly onto the steel core. Cast iron provides maximum rigidity and heat dissipation in continuous manual material handling duty, especially in warehouses with frequent push-pull cycles.

Q: Which Multiton pallet jack models are compatible?
A: This wheel assembly fits Multiton TM, M, J, and S series manual pallet jacks.

Q: What sealed ball bearings are included?
A: The assembly includes two precision sealed ball bearings. The sealed design protects bearings from dust and moisture in warehouse environments. The steel core hub distributes load evenly across both bearings, reducing bearing wear compared to softer hub materials.

Q: Is this assembly suitable for wet or cold storage use?
A: The polyurethane tread and sealed bearings perform well in damp environments and cold storage above 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Steel core construction resists corrosion and maintains rigidity in temperature swings. For extreme freezer applications below 0 degrees or high-traction wet-floor needs, contact us about specialized elastomer options.

Q: What is the expected service life?
A: The assembly is designed for extended service in continuous material handling duty. Cast iron core and sealed bearings typically deliver 30 to 42 months of service life in moderate to heavy warehouse operations. Regular inspection at 12-month intervals identifies bearing wear or polyurethane tread degradation early, maximizing equipment uptime.
