Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specifications of the 00590-41114-71 caster wheel?
A: The 00590-41114-71 has a 4.00 inch wheel diameter, 2.50 inch tread width, 2.047 inch hub length, polyurethane tread material with steel core, and precision ball bearing. Powder coated finish protects against corrosion. Top plate mounting allows quick installation.

Q: Is the 00590-41114-71 a direct OEM replacement for Toyota electric forklifts?
A: Yes. The 00590-41114-71 is a direct OEM replacement wheel assembly for Toyota electric forklifts. Verify your equipment uses top plate mounting and that wheel diameter and hub dimensions match your current assembly before ordering.

Q: What are the benefits of the polyurethane tread on the 00590-41114-71?
A: Polyurethane treads provide excellent grip on dry and damp warehouse floors, resisting skidding and slipping. They are quieter than hard rubber or cast iron wheels, reduce vibration, and extend equipment lifespan by absorbing shock. Polyurethane wears faster than solid rubber under heavy outdoor use.

Q: How do I install the 00590-41114-71 wheel on my forklift?
A: Remove the retaining nut from the axle stub. Slide the wheel hub onto the axle, ensuring the top plate mounting lugs align with equipment frame slots. Reinstall the retaining nut and torque to manufacturer specifications (typically 15-25 ft-lbs). Rotate the wheel by hand to confirm smooth bearing movement before operation.

Q: How long does the 00590-41114-71 polyurethane wheel last?
A: Under typical warehouse use (8-10 hours daily on clean floors), the wheel lasts 2-4 years. Lifespan depends on load weight, floor surface texture, and operating speed. Inspect for flat spots, chunks missing from tread, or bearing noise quarterly. Replace when tread wear exceeds 25 percent of original depth or bearing play exceeds 0.05 inch.
