Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the UL 1128-HD and what does it do?
A: The UL 1128-HD is a steer wheel assembly for manual pallet jacks. It provides smooth steering control and directional precision during equipment operation. The wheel with Ultra-Poly polyurethane tread and machined aluminum hub delivers durability and reliable performance in warehouse and material handling environments.

Q: Which pallet jack models is the UL 1128-HD compatible with?
A: The UL 1128-HD is designed for Ultra brand manual pallet jacks, specifically model UL 5500. If you have a different Ultra model or need to verify compatibility with your equipment, we recommend confirming the model number on your pallet jack nameplate before ordering.

Q: What does the machined aluminum hub provide?
A: The machined aluminum hub offers strength while maintaining low weight for easy maneuverability. Aluminum resists corrosion in warehouse environments and maintains dimensional stability through repeated load cycles, extending the service life of the wheel assembly.

Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the UL 1128-HD?
A: The UL 1128-HD has cross-reference numbers 1128-HD and Ultra 1128-HD. These alternate numbers refer to the same component and can be used for ordering, documentation, and parts identification purposes.

Q: How does the Ultra-Poly polyurethane tread perform?
A: Ultra-Poly polyurethane tread provides high abrasion resistance and delivers excellent traction on warehouse floors. It offers extended service life under normal industrial use conditions. Actual lifespan depends on daily load cycles, floor surfaces, and maintenance practices.

Q: How should I store the UL 1128-HD when not in use?
A: Store the wheel assembly in a dry location protected from direct sunlight to preserve the polyurethane tread and maintain hub integrity. Keep away from extreme heat or freezing conditions. Inspect periodically for damage before reinstallation.
