Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between BA BKAW-3-4 and BA BKAW-3-4-XL?
A: The BA BKAW-3-4-XL is an extended load capacity version of the standard BA BKAW-3-4 idler caster. Both feature Durarun polyurethane at 95A Shore hardness, but the XL model handles higher weight demands. Consult your lift truck specifications to determine which version your equipment requires.
Q: What material is the BA BKAW-3-4-XL tread made from?
A: The BA BKAW-3-4-XL uses Durarun polyurethane at 95A Shore durometer hardness. This high-rebound formulation provides excellent wear resistance and reliable traction on both wet and dry warehouse floors.
Q: Is the BA BKAW-3-4-XL compatible with equipment designed for standard BA BKAW-3-4?
A: The XL version maintains the same mounting footprint as the standard BA BKAW-3-4 for most Baker electric lift trucks. Verify compatibility by cross-referencing part numbers BABKAW-3-4, BKBKAW-3-4, or BK BKAW-3-4 with your equipment documentation.
Q: Which Baker lift truck models use the BA BKAW-3-4-XL idler caster?
A: The BA BKAW-3-4-XL is compatible with Baker BC and BE series electric lift trucks, as well as other Baker models originally specified for BABKAW-3-4, BKBKAW-3-4, or BK BKAW-3-4 idler casters. Confirm your model number against your equipment nameplate.
Q: How does polyurethane hardness affect caster performance?
A: The 95A Shore durometer rating indicates a medium-to-high hardness polyurethane. This formulation balances load-carrying capacity with floor protection and maintains consistent traction throughout the caster's service life.
Q: How should the BA BKAW-3-4-XL be stored when not in use?
A: Store the caster in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping polyurethane casters out of prolonged UV exposure and heat extends their reuse cycle and maintains performance.
