Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material is the BA BKAW-3-4 idler caster made from?
A: The BA BKAW-3-4 is constructed from 95A Shore A hardness polyurethane, a durable polymer that balances load capacity with floor protection. This material resists compression and wear while providing excellent traction control and low noise operation.
Q: What is the purpose of the 95A Shore A durometer rating?
A: 95A Shore A polyurethane provides optimal hardness for idler casters in electric lift trucks. This durometer offers superior load capacity and wear resistance while maintaining traction on various floor surfaces and minimizing operational noise.
Q: What equipment is the BA BKAW-3-4 compatible with?
A: The BA BKAW-3-4 is designed for Baker electric lift trucks that use this caster specification. To confirm compatibility with your specific equipment, verify the model designation and serial range match this idler caster configuration.
Q: Are there cross-reference or equivalent part numbers for the BA BKAW-3-4?
A: Yes, the BA BKAW-3-4 replaces BKBKAW-3-4 and is equivalent to BK BKAW-3-4. These designations represent the same polyurethane idler caster specification for Baker equipment.
Q: How should I maintain polyurethane idler casters?
A: Inspect idler casters regularly for flat spots, cracks, or excessive wear. Keep caster bearings properly lubricated to extend service life. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or prolonged UV sunlight when equipment is not in use. Replace casters showing significant wear or damage to maintain safe, efficient operation.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a 95A polyurethane idler caster?
A: Properly maintained 95A polyurethane idler casters typically last 3 to 5 years under standard warehouse service conditions. Heavy use, rough flooring, inadequate bearing maintenance, and overloading accelerate wear. Regular inspection helps identify casters that need replacement.
