VJ 55F35N-CROWNED

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What equipment does the VJ 55F35N-CROWNED wheel fit?
A: The VJ 55F35N-CROWNED load wheel assembly is designed specifically for Valu-Jack 5500-2 manual pallet jacks. The crowned nylon construction makes it suitable for general-purpose warehouse and dock operations where smooth floor surfaces are typical.

Q: What material is the VJ 55F35N-CROWNED wheel and why does that matter?
A: This wheel is constructed from nylon, which is lighter than steel and provides adequate load capacity for manual pallet jack applications. Nylon wheels are resistant to oils and certain chemicals, making them suitable for environments where floor contamination is a concern. They also produce less noise than steel wheels during operation.

Q: Does the VJ 55F35N-CROWNED come with bearings pre-installed?
A: Yes, this assembly comes with a pre-installed bearing and two washers already mounted. The bearing is sealed for maintenance-free operation, so field lubrication is not required during normal service.

Q: How long does a nylon load wheel typically last in service?
A: Nylon wheel lifespan depends on floor conditions and load frequency. In typical warehouse environments with smooth concrete or coated floors, expect 12 to 24 months of service. Rough or outdoor floors will accelerate wear. Replace when the wheel surface shows visible flattening or tracking damage.

Q: Are there steel wheel alternatives for the Valu-Jack 5500-2?
A: Yes. The VJ 55F35S is a steel load wheel assembly designed for the same Valu-Jack 5500-2 frame. Steel wheels provide greater durability on rough floors and longer service life, but weigh more and generate more noise than nylon wheels.

Q: What is the OEM part number for this wheel?
A: The OEM part number is VJ 55F35N. When cross-referencing parts or ordering replacements, use this manufacturer part number along with the SKU VJ 55F35N-CROWNED for accurate identification.
