Product Description
Steel load roller assembly designed for use in electric and internal combustion lift trucks, pallet jacks, and material handling equipment. Features a hardened steel wheel for superior durability in wet, outdoor, cold storage, and heavy-load environments. The sealed bearing assembly provides reliable operation across extended service cycles and rough industrial surfaces. Ideal for applications requiring maximum load capacity and extended service life compared to polyurethane wheel alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a steel load roller assembly?
A: A steel load roller assembly is a bearing-mounted wheel component designed to support and roll heavy loads in material handling equipment. The hardened steel wheel provides maximum durability and load capacity for demanding industrial environments.
Q: When should I use a steel wheel assembly instead of polyurethane?
A: Use steel load rollers for outdoor operations, wet floors, cold storage, heavy loads, and aggressive use cycles. Steel wheels provide superior durability, maximum load capacity, and resistance to environmental degradation. Use polyurethane wheels for dry, indoor, noise-sensitive applications.
Q: What equipment types use load roller assemblies?
A: Load roller assemblies are used in electric pallet jacks, electric forklifts, walkie stackers, reach trucks, order pickers, internal combustion forklifts, and other material handling equipment.
Q: What is the typical service life of a steel load roller assembly?
A: Steel load roller assemblies typically operate 36 to 60+ months under normal conditions, depending on load cycles, maintenance frequency, and operating environment. Service life extends when bearings are properly maintained.
