300-040A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the key dimensions of the 300-040A load wheel assembly?
A: The 300-040A features a wheel with hub length. The red polyurethane tread has 95A durometer hardness and is bonded to a steel core for durability and reliable warehouse performance.

Q: What does 95A durometer mean and how does it affect wheel performance?
A: 95A durometer indicates a medium-firm polyurethane compound designed for general warehouse use. This hardness balance provides good abrasion resistance on clean dry floors while maintaining adequate grip and traction. Higher durometer wheels wear longer but may reduce traction; softer compounds offer better grip but wear faster.

Q: What load capacity is the 300-040A designed to support?
A: The 300-040A is designed for standard manual pallet jacks. Actual load capacity depends on the specific pallet jack model and the number of wheels installed. Contact the equipment manufacturer for exact load rating specifications.

Q: Is the 300-040A suitable for wet or cold storage environments?
A: The standard red polyurethane compound provides adequate performance on dry warehouse floors. For wet floors or cold storage areas, specialized high-traction polyurethane compounds with enhanced slip resistance are recommended. Consult product alternatives for specialized environmental applications.

Q: What is the sealing design of the bearings on the 300-040A?
A: The 300-040A is equipped with sealed precision ball bearings. The sealed bearing design protects internal components against floor contaminants, dust, and moisture, reducing maintenance requirements and extending wheel life in typical warehouse conditions.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of the 300-040A in normal warehouse use?
A: Wheel lifespan depends on load cycles, floor surface type, and environmental conditions. A 95A durometer polyurethane wheel typically lasts 1 to 2 years in standard warehouse service. Rough or contaminated floors accelerate wear. Regularly inspect wheels for flat spots, cracks, or bearing stiffness to ensure safe operation.

Q: What is the 300-040A compatible with?
A: The 300-040A is designed as a direct replacement load wheel for standard manual pallet jacks. Compatible with equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Check your specific equipment model number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
