Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BA PAL-13M load wheel assembly?
A: The BA PAL-13M is a polyurethane load wheel assembly engineered for Baker electric pallet jacks. It features a durable Durarun 95A polyurethane tread with a machined steel hub, designed to deliver high load capacity and abrasion resistance in industrial warehouse environments.
Q: What material is the tread and what is its hardness?
A: The BA PAL-13M features a Durarun 95A polyurethane tread with 95 Shore A hardness. This hardness level provides an optimal balance between load-carrying capacity and grip on standard warehouse floors, making it suitable for general pallet jack applications.
Q: What is the wheel core material?
A: The wheel core is constructed from machined steel, providing structural durability and precise fit for axles. The steel core supports high load cycles without deformation under normal warehouse operations.
Q: What bearing system does the BA PAL-13M use?
A: The BA PAL-13M incorporates sealed deep groove ball bearings designed for axle applications. The sealed bearing design minimizes maintenance requirements and extends bearing life in demanding industrial environments.
Q: What are the part number variations for the BA PAL-13M?
A: The BA PAL-13M is also referenced as BAPAL-13M, BKPAL-13M, and BK PAL-13M. Always verify the correct part number against your equipment documentation or serial range to ensure proper fitment.
Q: How should I store and maintain this load wheel?
A: Store the BA PAL-13M in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Periodically inspect the wheel for flat spots, cracking, or loss of roundness. Clean debris from the wheel surface to maintain rolling efficiency and bearing performance.
Q: When should I replace the BA PAL-13M wheel?
A: Replace the wheel when you observe flat spots, visible cracking, significant loss of rolling efficiency, or reduced load capacity. Polyurethane wheels like the BA PAL-13M typically outlast rubber alternatives due to superior abrasion resistance. Replacement frequency depends on load cycles, floor conditions, and application severity.
