Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EC PAL-56-A steer wheel assembly?
A: The EC PAL-56-A is a direct replacement steer wheel assembly for manual pallet jack applications. It features a wheel and is available in standard polyurethane/nylon or heavy-duty ultra-polyurethane/aluminum configurations.
Q: Which manual pallet jack models is the EC PAL-56-A compatible with?
A: The EC PAL-56-A is compatible with Ecoa PAL, PLH, and PLT series manual pallet jacks, as well as Blackjack SST pallet jack models. Alternate model references include PAL56A and PAL 56 A.
Q: What bearing sizes are available for the EC PAL-56-A?
A: Bearing configurations are available.
Q: What is the heavy-duty variant of the EC PAL-56-A?
A: The EC PAL-56-A-HD is the heavy-duty variant, featuring ultra-polyurethane compound tread and an aluminum alloy hub. This configuration provides superior abrasion resistance and extends wheel lifespan in high-traffic or high-load applications.
Q: What are the material differences between standard and heavy-duty configurations?
A: Standard configuration uses polyurethane tread on a nylon hub. Heavy-duty configuration uses ultra-polyurethane tread on an aluminum alloy hub. The heavy-duty option delivers 50 to 150 percent longer lifespan and performs better on rough floors and dock transitions.
Q: How should I store spare steer wheel assemblies?
A: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Polyurethane and urethane compounds can degrade with UV exposure. Keep wheels in their original packaging when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and material degradation.
Q: How do I know which wheel diameter and bearing size I need?
A: Check your original pallet jack documentation or measure your existing bearing bore. Using incorrect specifications compromises steering control and jack stability.
