Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the BG 080-7008 steer wheel made from?
A: The wheel features a high-density polyurethane outer tread bonded to a reinforced engineering-grade nylon core. The polyurethane tread has a Shore A hardness of 95±3, providing excellent floor protection and grip while protecting warehouse floors from marking.
Q: What equipment is the BG 080-7008 compatible with?
A: This direct replacement steer wheel is designed for select Blue Giant industrial trucks and pallet jacks. Verify your equipment model and axle specifications against the technical documentation before ordering to ensure proper fit and mounting compatibility.
Q: What floor surfaces can this wheel be used on?
A: The high-density polyurethane tread is designed for concrete, tile, and polished floors typical in warehouse and manufacturing environments. It provides non-marking performance on industrial surfaces while maintaining steering precision.
Q: How should the BG 080-7008 be stored?
A: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid stacking heavy loads on the wheel for extended periods, as this may cause permanent deformation. Protect the wheel from moisture and chemicals that could degrade the polyurethane or nylon materials.
Q: When should the BG 080-7008 be replaced?
A: Replace when polyurethane tread wears to 50% of original thickness or when steering alignment cannot be maintained. Typical service life is 1–3 years depending on usage frequency, floor surface type, load consistency, and steering patterns. Inspect regularly for uneven wear or surface damage.
