POLY TIRE/HUB
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 2I3797 poly tire and hub assembly?
A: The 2I3797 is a polyurethane tire and hub wheel assembly for electric lift trucks. Polyurethane tires offer superior wear resistance compared to solid rubber or pneumatic options and are commonly used on the drive wheels or load wheels of material handling equipment.
Q: What equipment types is the 2I3797 compatible with?
A: The 2I3797 poly tire and hub assembly is designed for electric lift truck applications. Verify the wheel mounting diameter, hub bore size, and load rating against your equipment specifications before ordering. Compatibility may extend to similar models from Caterpillar, Toyota, Crown, or Raymond depending on mechanical interface.
Q: What are the advantages of polyurethane tires over rubber or pneumatic alternatives?
A: Polyurethane tires provide extended service life, consistent traction on wet or smooth concrete floors, and eliminate pneumatic maintenance such as inflation and puncture repair. They absorb shock better than solid rubber and reduce noise during operation, making them ideal for indoor warehouse and cold storage environments.
Q: How long does the 2I3797 polyurethane tire assembly typically last?
A: Lifespan depends on load capacity, operating environment, floor surface, and maintenance practices. Polyurethane tires typically outlast rubber by 50-100 percent in standard industrial applications. Regular inspection for tread wear, flat spots, and sidewall cracks will extend usable life and prevent unexpected downtime.
Q: What maintenance does the 2I3797 wheel assembly require?
A: Monitor tire wear and alignment monthly. Keep wheels clean of debris. Inspect hub bearings and seals for proper operation. Unlike pneumatic tires, polyurethane assemblies do not require inflation checks. Replace the assembly when tread depth is insufficient or sidewall damage occurs.
