Product Description
The nylon wheel assembly is a direct replacement wheel system for manual pallet jacks. This assembly features both steer and load wheels manufactured entirely from durable nylon material, providing consistent compression resistance and reliable performance in high-use warehouse environments. Nylon construction ensures uniform rolling characteristics, extended service life on standard flooring, and simplified maintenance. Ideal for heavy-duty material handling operations requiring a robust wheel solution that maintains performance through extended operating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the N suffix mean in the 27X48-55-2-N part number?
A: The N designation indicates this assembly uses all-nylon wheel construction, as opposed to the mixed polyurethane and nylon configuration of the base 27X48-55-2 variant. This all-nylon version is specified for applications requiring nylon wheels exclusively, such as certain equipment compatibility or operational requirements.
Q: What are the specifications and wheel composition of the 27X48-55-2-N?
A: The 27X48-55-2-N is a pallet jack wheel assembly with both steer and load wheels made entirely of nylon material. Nylon construction throughout provides consistent material properties and durability characteristics for heavy-load applications.
Q: Which pallet jack models and brands use the 27X48-55-2-N all-nylon variant?
A: The 27X48-55-2-N is compatible with manual pallet jack models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Confirm your equipment documentation specifies compatible dimensions before ordering.
Q: What are the advantages of all-nylon construction compared to mixed polyurethane and nylon wheels?
A: All-nylon wheels provide uniform compression resistance, consistent rolling characteristics, and simplified maintenance because both components have matching material properties. Nylon offers excellent durability under heavy sustained loads and resists wear on rough concrete surfaces. This configuration is preferred for high-capacity pallet jacks operating continuously in demanding warehouse environments.
Q: What load rating and performance limits apply to the 27X48-55-2-N?
A: The 27X48-55-2-N wheel assembly is rated for ... remove. Your complete pallet jack may have a higher or lower rated capacity depending on the hydraulic system and frame design. Always respect the lower of the wheel assembly rating or the complete equipment load specification.
Q: How durable are nylon wheels in high-use warehouse environments?
A: Nylon wheels exhibit strong compression resistance and maintain performance through extended heavy-use cycles. Surface compression occurs gradually but does not significantly impact load-carrying ability. Lifespan extends considerably when used within rated load limits and on standard warehouse flooring. Inspect periodically for cracks or severe flat spots and replace when structural integrity is compromised.
