Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 12358-1 used for?
A: The BT 12358-1 is a steer wheel assembly for manual pallet jacks. It provides smooth steering control and durability in warehouse, distribution, and material handling operations.
Q: Which BT pallet jack models does the 12358-1 fit?
A: This steer wheel assembly is compatible with BT Prime Mover L2000, L2300, L2000-U, L2300-U, BT 3000, and BT 5000 series manual pallet jacks.
Q: What are the specifications of the 12358-1?
A: The 12358-1 features a wheel with a polyurethane tread bonded to a die-cast aluminum alloy hub. It is rated to Shore D 60 hardness and uses sealed 6204 series ball bearings for smooth rotation and protection against contamination.
Q: What part numbers are equivalent to the 12358-1?
A: The 12358-1 supersedes the 12358-1-HD model and is equivalent to 12358-1-ST. Alternate model numbers include 123581 and 12358 1.
Q: What bearing protection does the 12358-1 provide?
A: The assembly uses sealed 6204 series ball bearings, which provide sealed protection against debris, moisture, and contamination in warehouse and industrial environments. This helps extend bearing life and maintain smooth wheel rotation.
Q: Is the polyurethane tread suitable for cold or wet floors?
A: The standard polyurethane tread provides adequate performance in typical indoor material handling operations. For demanding wet floor or cold storage applications (below 32°F), consult BT or verify that the polyurethane compound specifications match your specific operating environment.
Q: How long does this steer wheel assembly typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on operating conditions, load, frequency of use, and maintenance. Sealed bearings reduce wear, but regular inspection for wear on the polyurethane tread is recommended. Replace the wheel when tread wear becomes significant or steering performance degrades.
