Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the BJ 078404 load wheel?
A: The BJ 078404 features polyurethane tread bonded to a machined steel core with an electroplated finish.
Q: Which Big Joe models use the BJ 078404?
A: The BJ 078404 is compatible with Big Joe Deluxe Electric Pallet Trucks and Big Joe E30 model. Verify your equipment model before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What is the material composition and hardness of the BJ 078404 wheel?
A: The BJ 078404 features polyurethane tread with Shore hardness 70D bonded to a machined steel core. The core is electroplated to resist corrosion and provide extended life in warehouse environments.
Q: How does the machined steel core benefit the BJ 078404?
A: Machined steel cores provide precision fit, consistent runout, and superior strength under load compared to cast or molded alternatives. The electroplated finish prevents rust and extends core life in humid storage conditions.
Q: What sealed bearing type is included with the BJ 078404?
A: The BJ 078404 includes sealed ball bearings that protect against contamination from dust and moisture. Sealed bearings reduce maintenance requirements and perform well in dusty warehouse and cold storage environments.
Q: Is the BJ 078404 suitable for cold storage or wet warehouse conditions?
A: The 70D polyurethane formulation and sealed bearings make the BJ 078404 suitable for standard warehouse and temperature-controlled environments. For extended cold storage or high-moisture operations, confirm the polyurethane formulation meets your specific environmental requirements.
Q: Does the BJ 078404 require routine maintenance or replacement intervals?
A: Sealed bearings minimize regular maintenance needs. Inspect the wheel periodically for tread wear and bearing play. Replace the assembly when tread becomes significantly worn or bearings show signs of noise or looseness to maintain safe equipment operation.
Q: How should the BJ 078404 be stored when not in use?
A: Store the load wheel assembly indoors in a dry environment to prevent oxidation of the electroplated steel core. Keep it away from direct UV exposure and extreme temperature swings. Store upright or on a flat surface to maintain bearing integrity.
