Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does VJ 66116-N-A stand for?
A: VJ 66116-N-A designates a nylon load wheel assembly (left/right) for Valu-Jack manual pallet jacks. The -N indicates nylon core, and the -A suffix indicates the load wheel or directional variant. This part is distinct from the steering wheel assembly.
Q: What is the difference between a load wheel and a steer wheel on a pallet jack?
A: Load wheels support the platform during transport and must handle the full weight of the loaded pallet. The steer wheel (front) guides direction and steering. The VJ 66116-N-A is a load wheel, which carries higher sustained loads than the steer wheel. Load wheels are typically larger in diameter and require more durable materials.
Q: Which Valu-Jack models does the VJ 66116-N-A fit?
A: The VJ 66116-N-A is engineered for Valu-Jack model 5500 and model 6600 manual pallet jacks in the load wheel position. Verify your equipment model and confirm the wheel position before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Q: What material composition does the VJ 66116-N-A have?
A: The VJ 66116-N-A features a high-density nylon core with polyurethane tread bonded to the hub. The nylon provides structural support under sustained load, while the polyurethane tread offers floor grip and vibration dampening. This combination is suitable for moderate-load warehouse operations.
Q: How long does the VJ 66116-N-A load wheel last before replacement?
A: The VJ 66116-N-A typically lasts 3 to 6 years in standard warehouse use, depending on load frequency and floor conditions. Load wheels wear faster than steer wheels due to sustained weight. Replace when tread is visibly worn, the wheel becomes noisy, or flat-spotting develops during operation.
