Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 984842 and what equipment does it fit?
A: The 984842 is a Baker Durarun 95A polyurethane load wheel assembly designed for Baker electric lift trucks. It features a polyurethane tread rated Shore A 95 hardness bonded to a steel core, providing durability for heavy-duty electric lift truck service.
Q: What does Shore A 95 hardness mean for load wheel performance?
A: Shore A 95 is a premium polyurethane hardness rating indicating higher durability compared to softer compounds. This hardness level provides excellent resistance to wear, abrasion, and compression set, making it suitable for heavy-duty and frequent-use electric lift truck operations.
Q: How do the different part number variations relate to the 984842?
A: Cross-references BK984842 and BK 984842 are alternative designations for compatible Baker platforms. The BA 984842-A is the complete load wheel assembly with bearings and bore configuration. All use the same Durarun 95A polyurethane tread and steel core.
Q: What is the expected service life of this load wheel assembly?
A: Under typical electric lift truck duty cycles, Durarun 95A polyurethane wheels typically deliver 3,000 to 6,000 operating hours. Actual service life depends on load weight, floor surface, ambient temperature, and frequency of use.
Q: How should I inspect and maintain the 984842 load wheel?
A: Regularly inspect tread wear and monitor for structural damage. Replace the wheel when tread wear exceeds 50 percent or visible damage appears. Ensure proper storage in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve wheel integrity during storage.
