Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between BT 27808-00 and BT 27808-00-SG?
A: The BT 27808-00-SG includes integrated string guards, which prevent rope, cable, or webbing from becoming entangled in the rotating wheel. The BT 27808-00 is the same wheel assembly without string guard protection. The underlying wheel assembly and bearing specifications remain equivalent.
Q: What are string guards and why would I need them?
A: String guards are protective shields that surround the wheel perimeter. They prevent loose straps, ropes, or cables from wrapping around the rotating caster wheel, which could cause damage to the wheel, binding, loss of steering control, or operator safety hazards.
Q: Are the cross-reference part numbers the same for the BT 27808-00-SG?
A: The BT 27808-00-SG shares cross-references BT 27808-00, BT2780800, and 2780800. However, always verify that your receiving equipment is compatible with the string guard configuration before ordering, as some models may require the non-guarded version.
Q: What is the polyurethane durometer rating and what does it mean?
A: The 95A durometer rating indicates the hardness of the polyurethane material. Higher durometer values mean increased hardness and wear resistance, making 95A polyurethane ideal for heavy-duty warehouse applications and extended service life on various floor types.
Q: Is the BT 27808-00-SG compatible with BT Prime Mover HX 80 pallet trucks?
A: Yes, the BT 27808-00-SG is specified for BT Prime Mover HX 80 End Rider pallet trucks. Always verify mounting dimensions and caster assembly specifications with your equipment documentation before installation.
