Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment is the BA 152718 polyurethane load wheel compatible with?
A: The BA 152718 is designed for Baker electric lift trucks and compatible material handling equipment. Cross-reference part numbers include BA152718, BK 152718, and BK152718. Verify your equipment uses this specific part number before ordering to ensure proper fit and function.
Q: What is the tread hardness rating of the BA 152718?
A: The BA 152718 features a 97A durometer hardness on the Shore A scale. This XL grade polyurethane formulation provides an optimal balance between load capacity and floor protection for warehouse material handling applications.
Q: What is the core material of the BA 152718 load wheel?
A: The BA 152718 features a steel core with a high-tensile polyurethane tread bonded to the core. This construction delivers durability and reliability for high-load capacity applications with extended service life.
Q: What environments is the BA 152718 suitable for?
A: The BA 152718 is designed for standard warehouse and material handling environments. For specialized applications involving wet floors, chemical exposure, or extreme cold storage, verify that the 97A durometer rating meets your facility's performance requirements.
Q: What is the expected service life of the BA 152718 load wheel?
A: Service life varies based on equipment load capacity, facility floor conditions, and operational intensity. The 97A polyurethane tread is engineered for extended wear. Replace the wheel when the tread becomes worn flat, cracks develop, or the equipment exhibits steering instability.
Q: Can the BA 152718 be used as a direct replacement on other lift truck brands?
A: The BA 152718 is specifically designed for Baker lift trucks and equipment designating this part number. Do not assume compatibility with other manufacturers without verifying that dimensions, mounting specifications, and axle configuration match your equipment exactly.
Q: How should the BA 152718 load wheel be stored?
A: Store the BA 152718 in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, ozone sources, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Keep wheels off the floor on clean storage racks to prevent damage and extend storage shelf life.
Q: Is the BA 152718 wheel suitable for outdoor use?
A: The BA 152718 is designed primarily for indoor warehouse and material handling environments. While polyurethane offers good durability, extended outdoor exposure to UV radiation and weather may reduce wheel lifespan. Verify suitability with manufacturer specifications for outdoor applications.
