Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions of the WW 96-8 steer wheel?
A: These dimensions are critical for proper fitment on compatible manual pallet jacks. Always verify your equipment specifications before ordering.
Q: What material is the WW 96-8 wheel made from?
A: The WW 96-8 is constructed from polyurethane thermoplastic with a Shore A 95 hardness rating. This hardness provides excellent grip and durability on smooth concrete while resisting thermal cracking in typical warehouse environments.
Q: What bearing type does the WW 96-8 use?
A: The WW 96-8 features double-sealed ball bearings. Double seals provide protection against contamination from both sides, extending bearing life and reducing the need for frequent relubrication compared to single-seal designs.
Q: Is the WW 96-8 suitable for wet or cold storage floors?
A: The WW 96-8 polyurethane thermoplastic is optimized for smooth concrete in standard conditions. For wet floors or cold storage below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, grip may be reduced. Confirm surface and temperature conditions with your application requirements.
Q: How long does the WW 96-8 wheel typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on usage intensity and floor conditions. Double-sealed bearings resist wear on smooth surfaces. Expect tread hardening and reduced grip after extended heavy use. Inspect wheel edges for flat spots or uneven wear, which indicate replacement is needed.
Q: Can I store the WW 96-8 wheels outdoors?
A: Polyurethane wheels should be stored indoors in a dry location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Extended outdoor storage can cause the polyurethane to harden and lose elasticity, reducing lifespan and performance.
