Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the complete wheel specifications for 984842-A?
A: 984842-A features a wheel with Durarun 95A polyurethane tread bonded to a pressed steel core with powder-coat finish. The wheel is equipped with double-sealed deep groove ball bearings to BS 5205 specification.
Q: What bearing configuration does 984842-A include?
A: 984842-A is equipped with double-sealed deep groove ball bearings to BS 5205 specifications. The dual seals protect bearings from contamination and moisture, significantly extending service life in warehouse and industrial environments.
Q: Is 984842-A a direct replacement for earlier Baker load wheel part numbers?
A: 984842-A is the current assembly for selected Baker electric lift truck models. It serves as a direct replacement and maintenance part for Baker equipment using this bore and diameter specification. No supersession or cross-reference interchange parts are available; this is the standard current part.
Q: What floor conditions is the polyurethane tread suitable for?
A: Durarun 95A polyurethane provides excellent performance on concrete, asphalt, and smooth warehouse flooring. It offers superior traction and load capacity for typical indoor and sheltered outdoor electric lift truck operations. For extreme wet conditions, cold storage, or specialized surfaces, confirm application suitability with Baker technical specifications.
Q: What maintenance is recommended for 984842-A wheels?
A: Inspect wheels regularly for tread wear, flat spots, and debris embedding. Periodically clean wheels and axle areas to prevent dirt accumulation. The double-sealed bearings are maintenance-free and require no routine lubrication. Replace wheels when tread wear reaches 50 percent, visible core separation occurs, or bearings exhibit noise or resistance to free rotation.
Q: How should 984842-A wheels be stored when not in use?
A: Store wheels in a dry environment protected from extreme heat, cold, and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with oils, solvents, or chemicals that may degrade polyurethane. Store wheels vertically or on racks rather than flat on the ground to prevent flat spotting. Inspect stored wheels periodically for environmental damage before reinstalling.
