Product Description
Polyurethane Load Wheel Assembly
This polyurethane wheel is engineered for material handling equipment including electric and manual pallet jacks, providing reliable load support on hard indoor floors. Polyurethane construction delivers durability, good load capacity, and resistance to wear during daily warehouse and dock operations. The integrated bearing assembly enables smooth rotation and reduced friction.
Ideal for loading docks, warehousing, and general material transport in logistics and retail environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 101/215-ALT polyurethane wheel assembly used for?
A: The 101/215-ALT is a polyurethane load wheel with integrated bearings designed for electric and manual pallet jacks used in warehousing, loading docks, and general material handling operations on hard indoor floors.
Q: Which equipment brands does the 101/215-ALT fit?
A: Polyurethane wheels of this type are used on pallet jacks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, Yale, and Clark. Verify the mounting bore diameter, wheel width, and hub configuration against your equipment documentation before purchasing.
Q: What advantages does polyurethane provide compared to other wheel materials?
A: Polyurethane wheels offer good load capacity, durability on hard floors, low rolling resistance, and moderate wear resistance for general warehouse and dock applications. They perform well in indoor environments without excessive heat or chemical exposure.
Q: How do I know when this wheel needs replacement?
A: Inspect the wheel regularly for flat spots, visible cracks, uneven wear, or loss of elasticity. If the wheel no longer rolls smoothly, makes noise, or shows significant surface deterioration, replacement is recommended. Clean the wheel surface periodically to prevent debris buildup.
Q: Are there limitations for use in cold storage or wet environments?
A: Standard polyurethane wheels like the 101/215-ALT are optimized for normal warehouse temperatures and dry floors. In cold storage (below 32°F) or consistently wet conditions, wheel performance may decrease. Contact us to discuss alternative materials for specialized environments.
