Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BT 160422-D and where does it fit on a pallet jack?
A: The BT 160422-D is a steer wheel assembly engineered for the rear steer wheel position on BT LHM 230 manual pallet jacks. It features a molded red polyurethane tread for grip and durability in warehouse transport applications.
Q: What material is the BT 160422-D wheel tread and hub made from?
A: The BT 160422-D has a molded red polyurethane tread bonded to a nylon composite hub. The nylon composite provides precision hub machining for bearing alignment, while the molded polyurethane tread delivers abrasion resistance and smooth directional control under load.
Q: What is the difference between BT 160422 and BT 160422-D?
A: The BT 160422-D is a variant of the standard BT 160422 assembly. The D designation indicates it is molded with red polyurethane tread specifically designed for rear steer wheel applications. The nylon composite hub provides enhanced durability for the rear steering position in continuous warehouse cycles.
Q: Is the BT 160422-D suitable for wet or cold storage environments?
A: The molded red polyurethane tread on the BT 160422-D is engineered for standard warehouse applications including areas with moisture. For specialized cold storage or extreme wet floor conditions, verify traction requirements with the equipment manufacturer or consult alternative compounds.
Q: What BT pallet jack models are compatible with the BT 160422-D?
A: The BT 160422-D fits BT Prime Mover pallet jacks, model LHM 230 and alternate designation LHM230. It is designed as a direct replacement for the rear steer wheel position. Confirm your pallet jack matches this model number and serial range before ordering.
Q: How often should the BT 160422-D steer wheel be replaced?
A: Replace the BT 160422-D when tread shows uneven wear, flat spotting, or visible gouges. In high-use warehouse environments, inspect quarterly. If steering pulls to one side or the wheel wobbles, the assembly may need replacement. The nylon composite hub can fail if bearings are worn, causing loose steering.
