Industrial Polyurethane Wheel for Electric Lift Trucks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the 310172?
A: The 310172 is a polyurethane wheel. The 97A durometer hardness rating provides durability for electric lift truck load wheel applications while maintaining a non-marking compound suitable for finished flooring.

Q: Which manufacturers does the 310172 fit?
A: The 310172 is engineered as a direct replacement load wheel for electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and Yale. Confirm your equipment bore diameter and wheel position specifications before ordering, as fitment varies by model year and truck type.

Q: What does the 97A durometer rating mean?
A: The 310172 carries a 97A Shore A durometer rating, indicating a hard polyurethane compound formulated for load-bearing applications in material handling. This hardness level resists wear and deformation under heavy static and dynamic loads while providing smooth rolling characteristics.

Q: Can the 310172 be used in cold storage environments?
A: The 310172 standard polyurethane compound may experience reduced flexibility in extreme cold storage below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. For cold storage or wet floor applications, consider requesting alternative tread compounds specifically formulated for those environments.

Q: What maintenance is required for the 310172?
A: Inspect the wheel periodically for tread wear, flat spots, or visible damage. Check bearing noise during operation, as increased grinding or noise may indicate bearing wear. Clean the wheel bore area to prevent debris accumulation. Do not exceed the rated load capacity for your lift truck model.

Q: Is the 310172 wheel designed for outdoor use?
A: The 310172 non-marking polyurethane compound is optimized for indoor finished flooring applications. For outdoor or uneven surface use, contact a supplier for alternative wheel compounds formulated for those conditions.
