Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 97A XL mean on the BA 985189-XL load wheel?
A: 97A refers to durometer hardness on the Shore scale, indicating a harder polyurethane compound for extended wear resistance. XL designates extended-life formulation engineered for heavy-duty, high-cycle operations. This wheel resists wear and deformation better than standard 85-90A compounds.
Q: What are the specifications of the BA 985189-XL?
A: The BA 985189-XL features a steel core construction with sealed ball bearing type ND 8505. Polyurethane tread is 97A durometer hardness for maximum durability.
Q: What is the bearing type in the BA 985189-XL?
A: The BA 985189-XL uses sealed ball bearing type ND 8505. Sealed bearings provide protection against contamination and reduce maintenance requirements compared to open-race bearing designs.
Q: When should I use the BA 985189-XL instead of standard BA 985189?
A: Choose BA 985189-XL for high-frequency loading operations, wet environments, or extended-cycle warehouse applications where the harder 97A compound resists faster wear. Use standard BA 985189 for typical moderate-duty lift truck operations.
Q: How long does the BA 985189-XL load wheel typically last?
A: The 97A XL durometer hardness extends service life significantly compared to softer polyurethane compounds. Actual lifespan depends on usage frequency, load weight, floor type, and maintenance. Higher hardness resists compression set and wear deformation better over time.
Q: Is the BA 985189-XL a direct replacement part?
A: Yes, the BA 985189-XL is designed as a direct replacement load wheel for Baker electric lift trucks. Always confirm compatibility with your specific truck model, serial range, and year before ordering. Contact us with your equipment details for verification.
